Project Notes

  • The pitch defines 30 story pages in four movements: Buster's morning, Calli's marsh, the storm and tree, and the duet.
  • The illustration agreement covers up to 12 finished interior illustrations plus one cover concept; a spread may count as one of those interior illustrations.
  • A versioned five-page publisher pitch package is assembled around the user-selected v02 cover direction, including a cover wrap, opening spread, and facing-page treatment.
  • Final art, typography, trim, spine, bleed, copy, and printer specifications remain active production gates; the package is not presented as printer-ready or publisher-approved.
