How To Be A Children's Book Illustrator 
Thank, Mr. Mitchell that was simple and explained alot of things. I have a question
for you . In your online course will there be videos like the one I just watched or
will it all be written? I really like to see what I’m learning. Explain your course
in simple terms I would so like to take it. Gabi
Hi Gabi,
Thank you for asking about the “Marks and Splashes” course.
It has both written/illustrated lessons and video versions of the lessons, along with video interviews with successful children’s book artists, monthly online group critique sessions and an online community and resource sharing site that’s active with students from around North America and the world.
Come join us! You can read more about the course (and sign up for it, if you like) on this page.

I just found your blog and am very excited to read it. I have a question that I hope you might have time to answer. I’ve published a few non-fiction eBooks already and have written a few children’s manuscripts. My mother has agreed to illustrate them, the problem is we’re not sure of what a fair cut is for a self-published ebook between the author and illustrator. I’d love to know your thoughts. A successful eBook would obviously be helpful to both of us, but we want to be fair about the money. If it makes any difference I already have a moderate audience.
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
