- Publishers have their own illustratrors. They want to control the look,
- the layout, of the book. The only exception might be very small
- publishers, who might do a children's book or two as a sideline.

- By the way, the author and illustrator are considered equal partners,
- and share royalties evenly. So the author might get 4% of the sale
- price, rather than 8% (or whatever the percentage might be).
