Shes a professional illustrator with lots of experience. Good luck getting her to charge so little for "Just for illustrations and page formatting"

By the way OP, "Just for illustrations and page formatting" is a huge job!


What I meant by the bolded was that the price for half the book is already so high and then I need to figure out the price for printing it. So this project is becoming a lot more expensive than I envisioned if the price for illustrations and formatting alone is so high. I’m not saying it’s not a hard job, it’s the hardest part for sure but I’m saying it’s still half the job because there’s nothing I can do with a book I can’t print if I’m out of money.

I hear you. Your best bet is to go with a beginner who is looking to get the experience.

You are not taking advantage, if you find someone who is happy to take the job at the price.

Hatzlocha!

Can their time be deducted as maaser? So they’re volunteering and not just getting minimal pay?
