Illustrator Inquiry

We Love Supporting Amazing Artists

At Proudly Bound, we are always excited to collaborate with talented illustrators who are passionate about bringing stories to life through their unique artistic vision. As an indie publisher, we believe that illustration plays a crucial role in shaping the identity and impact of a book. Whether you specialize in book covers, character designs, or interior artwork, we are eager to explore how we can work together to create stunning visual narratives that resonate with readers.

We are constantly working on both new projects and ongoing internal titles, and we know that the right illustrator can elevate a story to new heights. Our approach to collaboration is built on creativity, flexibility, and mutual respect. We value each artist’s distinct style and believe that collaboration thrives when both the publisher and illustrator can bring their expertise to the table. We’re open to working on a wide range of projects, from picture books and graphic novels to illustrated novels and concept art, and we are looking for illustrators who are just as excited about the storytelling process as we are.

At Proudly Bound, we understand that every project is different, and we take the time to match the right illustrator with the right book. Whether you’re looking to create something new or contribute to an ongoing project, we believe in fostering a partnership where your creativity can flourish. We’re not just seeking artists to complete a task; we want to build long-term relationships with illustrators who share our passion for great storytelling and visually captivating works.

If you’re an illustrator with a unique style and a love for collaboration, we would love to hear from you. We’re open to discussing projects of all sizes and genres, and we encourage illustrators with a range of experiences to reach out. Whether you’re an experienced professional or just starting to build your portfolio, we are eager to see how your work could fit into our upcoming projects. Proudly Bound is committed to fostering a creative environment where both our illustrators and our stories can thrive.

We also understand that communication is key to a successful collaboration. From the initial stages of concept art to the final illustrations, we make it a priority to keep an open line of communication with our artists throughout the entire process. Our team is always available to provide feedback, answer questions, and ensure that the creative vision for each project is aligned with the illustrator’s own artistic goals. We believe that when both parties are invested in the project, the results are always more powerful.

Whether you are interested in contributing to a new project or collaborating on an ongoing internal title, we want to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We offer competitive rates, clear project timelines, and an environment where your voice and ideas are valued. At Proudly Bound, we are always seeking fresh perspectives and are committed to supporting our illustrators as they grow in their craft and contribute to the success of our books.

If you are an illustrator interested in collaborating with us, we invite you to reach out. We are excited to discuss the possibilities and to see how your unique artistic voice can contribute to our diverse catalog of books. Please send us a portfolio or samples of your work, along with a brief introduction about yourself and your artistic process. We look forward to discovering how we can work together to create beautiful, impactful books that will inspire readers everywhere.

At Proudly Bound, we believe in the power of collaboration to bring extraordinary stories to life, and we are eager to find talented illustrators who share our passion for the art of storytelling.
