Our book illustration services start with a thorough discussion about your work and goals to give us insight into your vision and preferences. Along with personalized guidance, we’ll also send a detailed questionnaire for you to provide details like chapter description, scene details, and color requests for each illustration you purchase.
Based on what we learn about your creative vision, our project managers will pair you with an illustrator whose artistic style is the right fit. If you prefer to choose or narrow down the options, we’re happy to provide examples of our artists’ work. We’ll always offer guidance and an initial sketch so that you can feel confident in your illustrations.
Our talented illustrators have a track record for creating imaginative book illustrations that captivate readers. Once we’ve matched you with the right illustrator for your project, they’ll create an initial sketch to give you an idea of how your characters will look. After you receive the initial sketch, we provide two rounds of unlimited changes, so you can make adjustments as needed until the illustration aligns with your vision.
After you approve the initial sketch, we’ll move forward with the black-and-white phase. This phase includes a rough sketch of every illustration you purchased. You’ll receive a proof of the full set and have the opportunity to make two rounds of changes. If a third round is needed, we’ll discuss how to move forward before any extra fees apply.
Once you feel satisfied with your sketches, we’ll move on to the color phase for full-color or greyscale. Illustrators ink lines and add color or shading. You’ll have two rounds of changes for color, shading, and minor details. After final approval, we transition into formatting — starting with your cover concept.
Whatever your vision, genre, or target audience, we can create eye-catching illustrations for your cover or interior pages. Contact our team today to see how we can help bring your book to life!

At Palmetto Book Publisher, the starting prices for illustrations are $449 for a two-page spread, $349 for a full page, $249 for a half-page, and $199 for spot illustrations. When you work with one of our talented illustrators, you’re guaranteed high-quality images that will captivate your audience. Through our collaborative process, you’ll work with your illustrator to create illustrations that meet your preferences and help bring your vision to life.
At Palmetto Book Publisher, 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 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 Book Publisher is on a royalty basis, that illustrator will get a percentage share of the book sales profits.
We match our illustrators with our authors based on the illustrator’s artistic style. With an established process in place, authors will collaborate with their Project Manager through multiple phases before moving on to approve the final illustrations.
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 consult with our team to be matched with an illustrator whose style fits your concept.
