Frequently Asked Questions
What age range are your children's book packages suited for?
Our packages are designed for picture books (ages 2–8), early readers (ages 5–10), and middle-grade chapter books (ages 8–12). We tailor illustration style and layout to your target age group during onboarding.
What does the illustration level mean?
Illustration levels reflect the complexity and detail of the artwork. Level 1 (Sprout) features clean, vibrant character-focused illustrations ideal for picture books. Level 2 (Bloom) includes more detailed scene compositions with richer backgrounds. Level 3 (Shine) delivers fully detailed, multi-layered illustrations with premium visual storytelling suitable for high-end picture books and collectors' editions.
Do I need to provide my own illustrator?
No. Our in-house illustration team handles all artwork based on your manuscript, character descriptions, and creative direction. You will review and approve each illustration before it is finalised.
How many revisions are included?
Sprout includes 3 revision rounds plus 1 post-publication revision. Bloom includes 5 rounds plus 1 post-publication revision. Shine includes unlimited revisions to ensure the final book is exactly as you envisioned.
What is the Bologna Book Fair inclusion in the Shine package?
The Bologna Children's Book Fair is the world's leading international publishing event for children's content. Your book will be showcased at our ATP stand at the fair, giving it exposure to publishers, agents, and distributors from over 75 countries.
What promotional materials are included?
All three packages include 100 business cards, 100 bookmarks, and 100 postcards — professionally designed with your book cover and author branding, ready for events, signings, and school visits.
How long does the full process take?
Typical turnaround is 2-6 months from manuscript submission to published book, depending on the package and illustration complexity. Shine packages may run toward the longer end due to the depth of illustration work involved.
