Illustrator Submissions

We’re always looking for talented illustrators to bring our stories to life! If you create artwork that celebrates and reflects Muslim experiences, and inspires young readers, we’d love to see your portfolio.

We are looking for a range of illustration styles including:

1 . Picture books

2. Black line drawings

3. Grayscale illustrations

4. Illustrated covers from early readers to teens

We wish to represent all readers in the books we publish, through authentic appearance of our characters, their worlds and their families. We seek illustrators who can create beautiful, meaningful art that conveys emotion and story while respecting our guideline of not depicting facial features.

To submit, please email salaam@salaamcherry.com with:
 

1. A link to your website or instagram (or attach a low-res PDF with 5 samples that you are most proud of – 5MB max)

2. Tell us a little bit about yourself with some brief biographical information

 

Please note that, as we are a small but dedicated team, it is not always possible to reply individually to each and every submission. If you don’t hear from us in 12 weeks, please assume we’re not moving forward.
