Authors & publishers posting abt illustrated books or using an illustrator's work to promote a book, pls credit ILLUSTRATOR.

Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist.

Calling agents seeking (human) #KidLitArt talent!

Do browse this thread of art samples from #KidLit illustrators who are actively seeking representation:
debbieohi.link/illustrators...

To others: Pls help boost, esp if you have agents following you? It's a tough time for freelance illustrators.
A colorful promotional image inviting literary agents to browse a Bluesky thread featuring children's book illustrators seeking representation. The text reads: "Agents! Looking for children’s book illustrators seeking representation? Browse this thread on Bluesky! KidLit Illustrators Seeking Representation!"

A QR code and link ("DebbieOhi.link/illustrators-seeking-rep") direct viewers to the thread. Illustration by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.

Three young teens stand in the entrance to a lush greenhouse with various expressions: one with contempt, one with anxiety, and one with joy and hope. In the foreground is a mysterious red flower that looks suspiciously like the tail feathers of a phoenix. The text content reads: “Sydney Stone. Kidlit Illustration. Sydneyjstone.com.
