Looking for an illustrator!

by Jenny Rumney

Hi there, I have written a short story for children (picture book). I have already had very positive feedback from a charity which deals with the subject matter in the story and they are keen to use the work once it is finished. I am looking for an illustrator of children's books to work with on this project. Would anyone be interested? Thank you

Thanks for that feedback- I will have a look into shared works and consider uploading. I am still in talks re: publishing. Thank you

Would you care to upload your story on "shared works"? Some artists would be happy to support a project for some charities but not for others. We're not all "in it for the money".

I - for example - would be willing to work for free on a project for battered wives or Save The Children Fund... byut not for a charity that calls itself "Pro-Life", when what they really mean is "Pro-Compulsory-Birthing".

Unfortunately, I'm not an illustrator... but you get the point.

p.s. Would the charity publish the book themselves... or recommend it to a publisher with sympathetic views? i.e. Are you almost sure of getting it published? That fact might sway an artist to invest time and energy without demanding payment up-front.
