How Much Money Can You Make Illustrating Children's Books?
I was asked by a fellow artist in Australia this question last week. It's a great question that I'm sure many people have pondered and in this video I attempt to put hard numbers down so you will have a better understanding of what to expect. Illustrating children's books is a life long pursuit and usually not a career that pays off overnight. There are many factors that can influence your earning potential working for publishers. After you watch the video I'd love to know what you think?

ReplyDeleteGreat video Will. Extremely informative with lots of food for thought. I never realised how awards and best seller lists translated into cash. Thanks for sharing such concrete information on income flows.
