How much do you charge?

It really depends. Every single project is different. To be able to quote a fee accurately I will need the following information:

  2. Area of Use or Territory. Do you need to use the illustration just in your or in other countries?
  3. Duration of Licence. A license agreement usually states the time given for usage of the particular artwork.
  4. Deadline. How soon do you need your illustration for?

I usually work directly with editors and publishing houses, but if you are a self-publishing author and you would like to invest in your project, you can contact me and I will send you a quote.
