The pictures
Art that belongs to this story.
Stock art makes a book look borrowed. Illustration at Greenwood is commissioned for your story, in a style we agree before the full set begins. Picture books, middle-grade chapter art, and nonfiction diagrams are different jobs, and we scope them that way.
The art is built to print. Color, bleed, and the relationship between picture and type are decided with the designer, not patched afterward.
Included

A good fit
Who this is for
