@NessIllustration Yes, you are absolutely right! It's their job to publish books and take that cost, I was being too nice πŸ˜› and yeah, it doesn't really add up...I will try to counter them with a more fair deal, see how they react. The good thing is though, that it was the author who chose me and the publisher doesn't seem to have much say in that, so maybe I have some room to negotiate? I mean without risking loosing the job to another illustrator πŸ˜›
Thanks so much for your response! I hate this bit of the business so I need people like you telling me straight out when something's off πŸ˜‰
