How has your experience been when looking to hire an illustrator for a Children's Picture Book?
I am having quite a hard time here. Is this unusual?
I found a few illustrators here that seemed to have interesting portfolios, had lots of experience and had their work published.
Also claimed that their English is either native or fluent. Which seemed credible since their country of residence is an English speaking country..
However, I wanted to check their creative talent, so I contacted them and asked them for the titles of the picture books that they illustrated and had published.
I am getting quite the run around. None of them provided me with their titles.
One of the answers even was: "I have a team of illustrators who are experts in giving titles". 🤣
Am I just not lucky? Or do I not know who to screen search results? Any tips?
