Work With Me

From Manuscript to Professionally Produced Children's Book

If you have a finished manuscript and want to turn it into a beautifully illustrated, print-ready children’s book, I can guide you through the entire process.

Creating a strong children’s book requires more than illustration — it requires thoughtful pacing, visual cohesion, and production decisions that support the story.

I work with serious self-publishing authors who want their book to feel intentional, polished, and professionally produced — not like a DIY project.

Who This is For

This is a good fit if:

You have a completed (or nearly completed) manuscript
You’re committed to publishing a high-quality children’s book
You want professional illustration and cohesive design
You value guidance through the production process
You’re prepared to invest in a professionally produced book

If you’re looking for the cheapest possible option, I’m probably not the right fit — and that’s okay.

How We Work Together

Creating a strong children’s book isn’t just about adding illustrations to text. It’s about structure, pacing, visual rhythm, and production decisions that all work together.

When we work together, I guide you through:

Refining story pacing for page turns
Breaking the manuscript into an effective page layout
Developing a cohesive illustration style
Creating original artwork for your book
Designing a professional interior layout
Preparing print-ready production files
Offering guidance on printing and early distribution decisions

My goal is simple:

To help you create the strongest, most professional version of your book possible.

Investment

Full-service book build projects typically start at $6,000, depending on scope, length, and illustration needs.

Each project is custom quoted after an initial conversation.

Not Ready for a Full Build?

If you’re still clarifying your direction, I offer a Children’s Book Strategy Intensive.

This focused planning session is designed for authors who want clarity before investing in illustration and production. You’ll walk away with:

Clear page count recommendations
Illustration scope guidance
Budget expectations
Production roadmap
Next steps tailored to your goals

Strategy Intensives are limited and available by application.

Next Step

If you’re serious about creating a professional children’s book, the next step is a conversation.
