Illustrations

DartFrog works with a network of professional illustrators offering a wide range of artistic styles. We help match each project with an illustrator whose work complements the story and brings its characters and setting to life.

Our team coordinates the illustration process, from establishing the visual direction and developing character concepts to reviewing artwork and preparing final illustrations for publication. Authors participate throughout the process, providing feedback as the book's visual identity takes shape.

Illustration services are available both as part of a DartFrog publishing program and independently for authors publishing elsewhere.

Cover Design

DartFrog's cover design team includes Mumtaz Mustafa, Senior Art Director at HarperCollins, and Christian Storm, former Senior Designer at Penguin. Both bring more than 20 years of experience designing bestselling and award-winning books across a wide range of genres.

Our designers work with authors to develop covers that reflect each book's content, genre, and intended readership. Authors participate in the creative process, reviewing concepts and providing feedback.

Professional cover design is included in every DartFrog and Canoe Tree Press publishing program and is not offered as a standalone service.
