@Cindy Unless the author is also the illustrator, no pictures are needed. Companies buy the text from you and then hire an illustrator to draw whatever they think will work best.

Self publishing my book The Tree at the Top of the Hill, through Booklocker.com got my first middle school book out there. having had that excitement and having it be received well has encouraged me to keep working and the next one will be out soon.

AND–if you want to see your name on the cover of a book sooner rather than later, self-publish! It is fun and easy! I did a book of my stories about growing up and self-published it through Lulu.com for my family members for Christmas. Recently it was picked up by NPR and I just recorded an interview with them. You never know where this writing will take you!
