FAQ
What file formats will I receive?
You'll receive high-resolution PNG files (300dpi, transparent backgrounds) and JPEG files suitable for print. Premium orders also include layered source files and page layouts formatted for Amazon KDP or IngramSpark trim sizes.
Do I own the illustrations once the project is complete?
Yes. All packages include full commercial use rights. Once final payment is made, you own the artwork and can use it to publish, sell, and distribute your book in any format — print, ebook, or audiobook with illustrations.
How do revisions work?
Revisions are done in rounds — I share all illustrations together at each stage (sketch, colour, final) so feedback is efficient. Basic includes 2 rounds, Standard includes 3, and Premium has unlimited rounds until you're fully happy.
I only have a rough story idea — can you still illustrate it?
Yes! Many of my clients come to me at the idea stage. I can help you think through the scene breakdown and page count before we start. If you also need someone to write the text, I can recommend excellent children's book writers I collaborate with on Fiverr.
