Additional information:

1. Pricing of illustrations is determined project by project according to a budget. As a non-profit organization we do not have the funds to pay the same amount as most other publishers. By accepting a payment within our means, you cooperate in our mission of spreading the Gospel message.
   
2. Method of payment is negotiated for each project—a flat fee (usually in three payments) or a 5% royalty.
3. The Illustrator receives ten (10) copies of a publication with full-color illustrations throughout and six   (6) copies with black and white illustrations sporadically throughout.
4. Generally we request that illustrations for our publications be done as a work for hire.
