FAQ
How much do book illustrations cost?
The starting prices at Palmetto Publishing for illustrations are $275 for a full-page, $185 for a half-page and $125 for a spot illustration. The price of a book illustration can vary greatly by genre, experience, and intricacy, but the average cost for an illustration is $275.
While you can hire your illustrator, you will likely spend between $200 and $500 in addition to future royalties.
Do book illustrators get royalties?
At Palmetto Publishing, our illustrators do not get royalties. When you use our illustrator services, you simply pay the cost per illustration and do not have to worry about any future royalties.
A one-time payment for illustrations is an advantage, as most trade publishers offer royalties to illustrators. If your contract with an illustrator outside of Palmetto Publishing is on a royalty basis, that illustrator will get a percentage share of the book sales profits.
How do authors and illustrators work together?
We match our illustrators with our authors. With an established process in place, authors will approve the illustrations before coloring and then collaborate on the interior formatting process for full, half, or spot-page illustrations.
How do I choose an illustrator for children’s book illustration services?
Think about the kind of illustrations you enjoyed as a child and what made them so appealing. If you find similar-looking samples, you can then consult with our illustrators’ team and choose who you’d like to work with based on their style.
