Professional Layout Practices For Illustrated Children's Books

Professional book layout should always entail using Adobe InDesign. This is the industry-standard and will ensure that you arrive at print-ready files. This video takes you behind the scenes with a book designer and shows you why you should hire a person who specifically has the book layout skillset.

In my experience, illustrators who offer to do the layout are not using InDesign and are therefore working harder and often deliver files that are not print-ready. Not using InDesign also makes any revisions very cumbersome.
