An Illustrator

[woodelf]

I have written several children's books/stories, age range 5-8 years and some of those sent have been rejected by commercial publishers.
So, I would like to self-publish by putting the stories onto Kindle, but I have been told that they would need to have illustrations. I can no longer do illustrations (for obvious reasons for those who know of me), so I wondered if anyone out there in AB land would like to or wish to collaborate by illustrating my stories and we could work out a working "contract". I can't afford a professional illustrator, but if anyone wants to have a go or knows of anyone who would or could help, then let me know and we'll take it from there.
How's that sound? Ta Muchly.

Nice memories Elina...I hope Mr Whippy got his just desserts!

Christ, woodelf, what the hell is that comment......??

sorry, I volunteered a resource - forget it....

spits phlegm and effs off to bed with a sour taste in the mouth.

I'm sorry to upset you DT, but I'm short on confidence at the moment after my 'thing' and you coming out with the techno stuff didn't help either, so we'll shake hands across the AB divide eh?

Hi Woodelf - Mamya here, I think this thread has got a little confused possibly due to me posting a new thread linking to it as a fresh call for some help for your book illustrations.

I think what we can more easily read through can become very muddled via your reader at your end - also strokes are as you say very debilitating and confidence sapping.

I'm sure no offence was intended by anyone and I hope you find someone to illustrate your books - they sound fabulous.


Speak soon, Mamya (smile) x

[woodelf]

Hi Mamya, you have no blame at all and no offence was caused by anyone, just me being too darned sensitive, I guess...big wavy smile.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh we can all be that sometimes, it's a human condition, nowt wrong with that.x

[DTCwordfan]

apology accepted and if I came across as aggressive, then I offer mine too.

[woodelf]

Okay DT, that's fine, shall we try again?...smile

Hi Deemlevine. Many Thanks for your answer, I had completely forgotten about it, as I have written nothing, story-wise, for ages, but I will certainly look at the site you mention. Ta Muchly and Hi and Big Wavy Smiles to You and All.
