Your Book’s Too Good for Meh Illustrations
A great children’s book can’t do much with mediocre illustrations.
In children’s books, art isn’t mere decoration, as it creates half the experience. So, generic, flat, or mismatched visuals can never do justice to a great story. You need high-quality book illustrations to make it unskippable on the shelf.
Authors Harbor’s professional children’s book illustration services help you create high-quality book illustrations that match your book’s heart and tone. We connect you with trusted children’s book illustrators who understand storytelling, child engagement, and visual emotion.
We don’t go for stock art. Instead, we do custom children’s book illustrations to help you create child-friendly artwork. Let’s make sure your book looks as good as it reads!

Questions

See Why Authors Love Working with Us



Lena M.
I had a good story that I thought people would be willing to read. But I had no idea how to get it onto paper. Working with Authors Harbor felt like teaming up with a mind-reader. My ghostwriter wrote my memoir, like she really understood me. The final manuscript sounded like me, just clearer, stronger, and more focused. I never thought I’d see my life in a book like this.




Karl J.
I’d re-read my manuscript a dozen times and still felt something was off. The editing team at Authors Harbor didn’t just fix grammar, they really made it look like a good story. Pacing, character arcs, emotional beats… they tightened everything without changing my voice. My book is now sharper, stronger, and finally ready for readers.




Oliver T.
I was completely overwhelmed by the publishing process, ISBNs, formatting, Amazon, all of it. Authors Harbor walked me through everything step by step. They answered my 1000 questions, never made me feel dumb, and made this look like a clear path. They’re the best book publishers for new authors. I finally feel like a real author because of them.




Fiona Y.
Finding the right illustrator for my children’s book was a nightmare until I found Authors Harbor. Their design team nailed my idea from the very first sketch. The colors, characters, and layout were better than I imagined. My daughter said, ‘It looks like a real book!’ And she’s right.




Kevin W.
My book launched to literally nothing, and I panicked. But Authors Harbor helped me build a plan, social media, email strategy, metadata… stuff I didn’t even know about. I started seeing traction within a few weeks. So, now I feel like I’m not just selling books, I’m building a real persona as an author.
