@Angel – Assuming you have illustrations, you can include them in a PDF, Kindle or ePub mini eBook. You can also put them into an app.

If you just have a story without illustrations, I’d look around for some aspiring illustrators (SCBWI is a good place to start, so’s Jacketflap.com) and see if someone is willing to provide illustrations in exchange for the exposure. In fact, I’d work it out with an illustrator this way:

Set up your e-mail collection page in both of your names, so you can share the e-mail addresses. This way, you *both* build e-mail lists and fanbases. A smart illustrator (especially one who has read this post! 🙂 ) will understand why this is a tremendous opportunity.

I’ve been busy setting up a blog site and wondering if I’m just banging my head on yet another brick wall. You have given me courage to continue on continuing.
