About this gig
Hi, my name is Nicky and I have been a freelance illustrator for over 4 years now.
I have illustrated over 13 childrens books and have loved working on every single one! I have worked with publishers in the UK and USA plus several authors who self published through services such as Amazon KDP so I have a wide breadth of experience in this area.
In this gig I am offering to bring your book idea to life, plus:
- Fully format for print.
- Add text.
- Finish all pages to a high standard with high resolution, full colour, digital illustrations.
- Illustrate the front and back cover (including any title pages and end pages you may want).
- Collaborate with you to decide on the characters, layout, colour palette, style and overall feel of the book.
- Provide a sketched storyboard before beginning the individual pages so you can see the layout and composition of the book.
- Guide you through the process and answer your questions.
- Incorporate as much opportunities for feedback and collaboration as you wish.
- Bring your book vision to life!
If your book idea doesnt quite fit the parameters of this gig, please feel free to message me and I can happily create a custom offer for you!

FAQ
My book is less than 32 pages!
That is not a problem. If your book has less or more pages than this gig, please send me a message and I can happily create a customer offer for you.
Can I collaborate closely with you throughout the process?
Yes you can. I am happy to have you collaborate with me as much or as little as you need. At the end of the day this is YOUR book, so I want it to look exactly as you envisioned.
I am not creative, are you comfortable making all the creative decisions?
I have worked on several books where I have had full creative freedom and I loved it. I am happy to take the lead if you wish.
Can you do a test sketch first?
I am happy to do a test sketch first. Simply message me with your thoughts and a page or idea you wish to see and I will sketch out my interpretation to see if it’s a good fit. I am happy to offer these test sketches free of charge too!
Is your price negotiable?
It is, yes. Every book and client are different and have different needs. So I like to stay open minded in regards to budgets. If you have a particular budget in mind, please message me and I will try my best to make it work for both of us.
