OTHERS HAVE SAID...
“Selecting Dotti Colvin to illustrate my first book was undoubtedly one of the wisest decisions I have ever made. She is a gifted artist who cares. Her ability to interpret and execute my vision was remarkable. This takes a special sensitivity and awareness which exceeded my expectations. Her professionalism and wealth of experience is a rare find.”
Suzanne Andrews: Author Nita’s Adventure Series
UNFINISHED BOOK? Read on...
Maybe your book isn't finished yet.. here are 3 good reasons to talk to an illustrator BEFORE you finish it.
1. Planning ahead...
They say a picture can say a thousand words. Maybe I can save you a few! Before finishing your book it’s good to have a chat to an illustrator so you understand how to prepare your book for this adventure. Maybe a picture won’t save you a thousand words but it can cut descriptive paragraphs in half.
2. Meet your protagonists!
If you aren’t ready to go into full on production, it’s still possible to visualise your main characters, especially your protagonist. This process can actually inspire you to write more believe it or not, as your characters start to become REAL.
3. Crowdfunding.
By showing your characters, or a few finished pages on a crowdfunding platform such as Kickstarter, you could great a strong presentation to raise funds so you can pay an illustrator to finish your book! ;D LOL
