FAQs

Everything you need to know about self-publishing and AI illustration coaching.

Is this right for first-time authors?

Absolutely. Whether you're starting your manuscript or are midway through, I provide coaching that supports new writers with guidance on structure and publishing.

Will AI replace children's book illustrators?

No — and that's exactly why I use it the way I do. AI can speed up early exploration, but the judgment, story sense, and hands-on refinement that make a picture book actually work still comes from years of craft. I spent a decade illustrating in Photoshop before AI tools existed, and that background is what makes the hybrid approach work — not the AI alone.

What can I expect from AI illustration coaching?

You'll learn a hybrid workflow — using AI to explore ideas quickly, then refining every illustration by hand for the precision and quality a picture book deserves. No prior experience needed, and your creative control stays front and center throughout.

Is your coaching just for authors?

Yes — my primary focus is self-publishing children's book authors. I do occasionally work with illustrators and other creatives on the visual side, but the heart of what I do is coaching authors through picture book publishing.

Do I need to know how to use AI tools beforehand?

Not at all. I specialize in beginners, providing hands-on training that simplifies the process and quickly builds your confidence—no design background needed.

Who owns the artwork created with AI?

All images we create together are yours — free to use in your book and marketing. AI copyright law is still evolving, so I'll walk you through the current rules — including disclosure requirements on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and other platforms — so you publish with confidence.

How much does coaching and illustration cost?

I provide flexible pricing to meet your needs, with packages from basic coaching to full-service publishing and custom artwork. Get in touch today for details or book a consultation for a tailored quote.
