Job Description
I am creating a collection of short children’s books organized in sets of ten. Each individual book is 16 pages and follows a consistent format and visual style.
I already have written the full text for each book and will provide clear guidance for what should appear on each page. I am looking for a collaborative, detail-oriented contractor who can use AI tools effectively to help transform my text and illustration notes into print-ready, formatted books.
This is a paid project and may lead to ongoing work across multiple book sets.

- Develop strong, repeatable prompts based on my guidance
- Generate and refine page-level illustrations and layouts

- Ensure consistency in:
- Character design
- Visual style
- Layout and spacing
- Follow text and illustration notes exactly as provided
- Incorporate feedback and revisions through an iterative process

- Some sets may use a soft watercolor / storybook feel
- I will provide clear direction and references

Collaboration & Timeline
