I need an Illustrator for my first Children's booked entitled "Carmelo's Quest"
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
My name is Joel Sherrod. I am an African American writer and published author from Chicago, Illinois. A couple of my books entitled "Double Damnation" and "Receiving the Word with All Rediness" are available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com. Even as my writing area of expertise has always been religious books, I am now about to tackle my most intriguing endeavor---a children's book! My first one.
My new book entitled "Carmelo's Quest" is a story about a little 9 year old blatino (Black and Latin mix) boy who moves into a new neighborhood; as such he longs to find a playground in his new inner city Community. So one day he embarks on a journey through his Community to find the elusive playground. As he investigates he comes across different neighborhood business owners, like the corner store Bodega, the laundry Mat, the local mail carrier, the street food truck, and many more characters. As he meets these folks he asks all of them this one little question: "Excuse me Sir (or Madam), do you know where I could find a playground around here? Then at the very end---he runs into a big and tall inner city Police officer! Though frightened, to Carmelo's surprise it is THIS OFFICER who points him in the right direction toward a spanking new inner city playground! A city on a Hill, as far as Carmelo is concerned!
"Carmelo's Quest" is the simple story of an inner city boy who learns that his neighborhood is made up of solid hard-working citizens; and that the Police are NOT the enemy of the people; and that he has nothing to fear from them.
There is only one problem . . . I need an Illustrator to bring the story to life in pictures!
A church friend of mine recommended that I post my need. So I did.
So to make a long story short ( I am one for words! lol!), I would like for you to illustrate my first Childrens book. Of course, you would be nicely compensated at competitive rates in the industry.
Thank you for your consideration. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Jole Sherrod
