Hey Baby girl. I will NO!!! Don't do it. If they can't give you a % on the front end then you best know that there will be none on the back end. In other words he will have to get back all of his money that he first put out for the book. Then if there is any that over sells you might get some money depending on what sell over. You don't want to do that. You would be mad has heck. There should be some up front money for your time and talent. People don't realize all that goes into doing this kind of work. As I have said to you before you can't do this for free unless you have money put aside to do so. YOU MUST BE PAID for your precious time that you can't get back if wasted on a project that goes no where. I have been down this road and have learned the hard way. Some people got great work and I got nothing. This is devaluing to self when you allow yourself to be put out like this. What we do is gift and talent that is worth it's weight in gold. Trust God to bring the right people into your life for business. Don't cast your gift before people who are trying to use or take something for nothing. Your gift is precious and valuable and costly. Hope this helped. V
This is beautiful. I love the rich color and your illustration style is wonderful. I can't wait to see your book!
