Illustrator for short novella young adult book 50 pages

I am looking for an illustrator to create realistic illustrations for my short novella young adult book, which consists of 50 pages. The theme is empowerment over trauma, it is in 14 parts and with the cover that suggests 15 illustrations. Simple and minimal is suitable, B&W line drawings are fine. Story line is a sailor lost at sea rescued by sea turtles taken to an island where with a boy's perspective he views items cast adrift and floated to his island. The book is in layout but for the right artist we would wait and add the cover art and illustrations - a month or so, more if required. Future prospects as we publish 5+ books a year.

- Style: Realistic
- Illustrations needed for all chapters
Ideal skills and experience for this job:
- Strong ability to create realistic illustrations
- Experience in illustrating for young adult books
- Ability to work collaboratively and take direction from the author
- Portfolio showcasing previous work in a similar style
