Authors & Publishers posting about illustrated books, pls credit the ILLUSTRATOR. Doing a #CoverReveal? Credit illustrator & designer. Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist. #PicturesMeanBusiness Art @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social

Picture book AUTHORS: YOU can help change industry practice by suggesting to your publisher that the book's byline read "Written by (author), illustrated by (illus)" or "By (author) & (illus)".
