Hire the best history book illustrators


What can a book illustrator bring to a history book? If you're writing for a younger audience, for example, illustrations can really help bring your book to life —think the Horrible Histories series.


But even if you write for older audiences, a history book illustrator can give your work a colorful and thoughtful cover, too, like the cover of The Silk Roads. Ideally, you want to hire a history book illustrator who understands and can find inspiration from artworks from the past, like engravings on ancient temples or embroideries on clothes.


Reedsy gives you access to a reservoir of expert book illustrators who have the skills to give your history book the visuals it needs. We only accept the top 3% of professionals who apply to our marketplace — sign up and meet these top talents now.
