You really need just to look at the books on the shelf in the children's book section to see what the most common style is. Editors inject a certain amount of personal preference into what they are likely to pick up. <br />Some people make up postcards and send them to editors of various houses. They keep them on file and refer to them. Others can be rung up and will instruct the illustrator. <br />Advertising illustrators are probably different. It's a cut-throat business run by people with names like Siimon with two ii's <br />But book publishers - specially the educational publishers are illustrator hungry. Personally I don't like the way they take the copyrights on illustrations whereas the author keeps a percentage of royalties. Sometimes it works to the advantage of the illustrator who gets a large up front fee and is cashed up and ready, whereas the author has to wait for a period to get royalties. Often not as good as what the illustrator got. But the educational market is a good place to get a foot in the door.<br />The illustrator/author gets an advantage because they come as a package deal. It looks good and they get higher royalties.<br />But never piggy back on an author because editors tend to want to be free to accept reject on a as is basis. And the illustrator might be prejudicing their own chances as well.Zara Penneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573081736355323976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632086038992984402.post-53932088820599490012009-03-22T00:22:00.000+11:002009-03-22T00:22:00.000+11:00Itemplatez.com offers professional flash templa...Itemplatez.com offers professional <A HREF="http://itemplatez.com/search-templates/product-flash-templates.aspx" REL="nofollow">flash templates</A>, <A HREF="http://itemplatez.com/search-templates/product-flash-templates.aspx" REL="nofollow"> Swish Templates </A> ,<A HREF="http://itemplatez.com/search-templates/product-web-templates.aspx" REL="nofollow"> web design templates</A>, <A HREF="http://itemplatez.com/search-templates/product-logo-designs-templates.aspx" REL="nofollow">Logo Designs </A>, and <A HREF="http://itemplatez.com/search-templates/product-wallpapers-templates.aspx" REL="nofollow">Wallpapers</A>...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
