As previously mentioned, I believe artwork belongs in a fantasy novel. Art of the world, its characters and pivotal scenes help readers connect to the book in my opinion. Through the process of creating my book I drew and even keep a notebook for this purpose. I have no talent for drawing, I drew only maps and basic structures to assist my description. I lack the ability to the images that were in my mind. When I decided to publish the book, I knew I wanted the drawings to sit alongside it.
I reached out to a few freelance artists before I began working with Ginevra Giammatteo. She responded to my earlier query almost at once. She was kind, excited and happy to explain the process that we could follow to create the illustrations I wanted. We had a great time creating the art together. I'm really pleased with the end product and I hope Ginevra is proud of her work too.
