In this episode I sit down with the Pale Horse Farrier and discuss how the illustrations of a book can make or break it. Some illustrations will tell a story of their own and can be admired for hours and hours, turning your story into a cherished memory for children and adults alike. Let's be honest, we've all sat down to drink in the illustrations of a book at least once. I'll bet you can tell me which book it was without a moment of hesitation.
If you want your book to be something special then don't overlook the illustrations. If you're doing them yourself or hiring someone to do them for you, you need to have a clear expectation of the role you want them to play.
