Hire the best book illustrators in Atlanta

No matter how it might seem when you browse through the latest children’s book titles, great book illustrators don’t grow on trees. Most of them work for years to cultivate a specific style within certain genres (i.e. they might specialize in colorful picture books, or in creating swoon-worthy romance covers). It can also be difficult to find an illustrator who fits your budget — after all, illustrating a book is hard work, which means experienced illustrators can be pretty pricey.

Add all that to the fact that good illustrators are in such high demand, and it might seem impossible to find an illustrator who will do your project justice. But if you’ve written a kids’ book, or any sort of book that demands illustrations, great-looking art is non-negotiable. So where can you find a book illustrator who will work for you?

The answer is right here on Reedsy, where we’ve built a remarkable team of book illustrators who can do everything from simple line drawings to full-color, hyperrealistic illustrations. Our professionals will work with you to bring your story to life in a way that readers will never forget — and which may even become synonymous with your work. With your legacy on the line, don’t leave it up to chance: sign up to Reedsy to find the best book illustrators for hire in Atlanta.
