My sister and I learned a lot as we went through the self-publishing process. Our book, "The Great PJ Elf Chase" will be released in October by Createspace. While we truly anguished over using one of their illustrators, we were thrilled with the results. Check out a sample and our blog detailing the process at http://thegreatpjelfchase.com/blog-2/.<br />Judy Voigthttp://thegreatpjelfchase.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-64726296323973204932013-02-28T14:08:05.110-08:002013-02-28T14:08:05.110-08:00Doing them yourself is always the cheapest way. .....Doing them yourself is always the cheapest way. ...That is, if you can illustrate.

Your best bet for your book to be professional in quality is to hire a professional. Some professional artists that do great work with outstanding professional quality for a relative cheaper price is Paper Crown Visual Studios. They work out of a their gallery which is called Paper Crown Gallery ( http://www.papercrowngallery.com ).
