Finding An Illustrator Iowa

1. Talk to an agent: If you already have a literary agent, then they should have many illustrators on call. If you do not have an agent or editor, now may be the time to get one, especially if you were planning on having your writing published. You should be able to find an agent or publisher in your local listing or on online listings. Finding an agent or editor nearby will make communication easier.
   
   
2. Find an illustrator online: Business of every kind is beginning to boom on the internet. Illustration is no exception. With just a simple search in your preferred search engine, many results should appear with illustrators. The best site to find is a listing of all illustrators near you. You may even be able to find a freelance illustrator's websites and prices online. It is not suggested that you try to contact famous illustrators; usually their prices are high and they only do work through agents and publishers. Look for an online illustrator whose location is close to yours, so that you will be able to meet in person. It is possible to do all the art work by mail, but it is easier if you can meet with the illustrator at least once. To make your illustrator search easier, there are many collective illustrator sites out there. On sites such as Folioplanet.com and Shannon Associates, you can search through portfolios and get price estimates. This makes your search easier because these sites are full of quality and professional illustrators.
