Illustrator Agents

Although I am not an illustrator, I'm often asked by my friends and colleagues who illustrates my books and how to become an illustrator.

I've met very talented artists in the last few months who have no idea where to start.

For those who have asked me this question - here are some illustrator agents who will open those magic doors, if you knew the magic words.

My personal advice is as follows:

a) Get used to creating computer images in jpeg
b) Google and look up the agents on the website
c) Look at what kind of artists they represent and would they be right for you
d) Follow submission guidelines
