Can you do illustrations?  Can you do book covers?  How about monograms?  How about promotional work like ads for magazines?  How about video book trailers?  And what would you charge?  Artists, promote yourselves!

Independent authors who micro-publish need great packaging — that means promo materials, the book cover design, including the inside flaps, maybe b&w etchings and monograms for interior pages.  Childrens’ story authors often want full illustration, though usually they either collaborate with someone they know or do the art themselves.  However, bringing their work up to print standard is another job for artists who know their “stuff.”

Especially welcome are your articles on how art, your art and design work, helps sell products…like books and magazines, stories and articles.  Likewise, articles on how you see art contributing to increased book and magazine sales, how working with an author rewards both the artist and the author… .  You get the drift.
