The Salt Orchard
Front cover for my debut literary novel: a girl in a lighthouse orchard on a stormy coast. Moody, a little magical, not fantasy-heavy.

How your money is held
When you choose a proposal you pay the illustrator's quoted price — no buyer fee on top. We hold it while you go through the sketch rounds you agreed: the illustrator can see the project is funded, but nobody touches the money until you approve the final art. Then your full-resolution files unlock and the payment goes to the illustrator, less our 12% fee, which comes out of their side. If the illustrator goes quiet or misses the deadline by more than a week without agreeing a new date, tell us on the project page and we refund you in full; if you part ways after the sketches, we split it fairly for the work done.
For illustrators
Paid briefs, no chasing invoices.
Every project on the board is funded before you start, and the payment is released when the client approves the final — you keep 88%. Briefs arrive with budget, deadline, rounds and usage spelled out. We vet every portfolio by hand.
