Kenny Kiernan Books

Let’s Create Your Book!

Self-publishers, welcome to the start of your journey!

I’m an award-winning children’s book illustrator specializing in fun, high-energy characters and illustration with a deliberately commercial style appealing to the mass market.

My team and I provide you with everything necessary for book projects for personal use, or for you to self-publish to Amazon KDP, Barnes & Noble or Ingram Spark and get your book out into the world!

With my long career as a top illustrator for the toy industry, I make it EASY to have your book professionally illustrated with vibrant color palettes, dynamic layouts and cute, engaging characters that will grab any child’s attention.

My simple 1-2-3 process:

1. CHARACTERS YOU WILL LOVE!
After our initial video chats and/or emails to get all of your thoughts and creative input, I present you with top quality character designs for your comments and feedback. Whether they’re new original characters, a re-brand of your existing IP, caricatures of family members, etc… We start by collaborating on this first step and ensuring you are happy as we bring your characters to life!

2. I DESIGN YOUR BOOK AND SEND YOU A MOCKUP
I apply kid-approved visual storytelling techniques to build a lively & appealing flow of images and structure from your manuscript. I deliver the storyboarded pdf document for your approval, with dynamic page layouts and your text already in place. There is no cap on the number of revisions you may request in order to ensure your complete satisfaction with the staging of the action, text and flow of your story!

3. BEAUTIFUL, PROFESSIONAL ARTWORK
Once approved, I provide eyeball-grabbing, finished color pages for your review and approval, formatted for your preferred publishing option.

---------------------------------

It's easy, collaborative and fun for my authors to see their work com to life — with a typical timeline of 8 weeks!

With top quality art & design, your full ownership of copyright, and lots of extras thrown in to save you money, Kenny Kiernan Books’ service simply cannot be beat!
