Make Your Message Unforgettable with Live illustration!

Meet John Whitworth

What I do

I illustrate children’s books—and guide authors through the entire process of turning their idea into a finished, published book.

  • Professional, custom illustration

  • Book design + layout

  • Full publishing setup

  • Print + distribution

You keep full ownership.

Children’s Book Illustrator & Professional Cartoonist

Visual Story Director for Brandrock Studios.

Franklin, Tennessee

Bring your story to life.
"If you’ve ever dreamed of creating a children’s book...
(but didn’t know where to start)
You’re not alone.
Most of the authors I work with come to me with an idea… and no clear path forward.
That’s where I come in."

Experience Matters

Who I work with

I partner with a small number of authors each year who:

  • Have a meaningful story or message

  • Want a professional, done-for-you experience

  • Value quality and creativity

  • Are ready to move forward for a fall or holiday book launch 2026

What this becomes

A real book.

Something you can hold. Share. Read. Sign.

Something with your name on it.

(see my most recent work at Barnes & Nobles below)

Timing - 2026 Publishing Cutoff dates for
Fall and Holiday Season Book Launches

If you’ve ever imagined having a book ready for:

  • The holiday season

  • School events or readings

  • A personal milestone

That process needs to start now. We have 3 author spots available until July 15th.

Funding

Most projects are completed with author funding between:

$200-350 per page

I only take on a limited number of new projects at a time.

If this is something you’ve been thinking about—even for years—

Now is the time to explore it.

"John took time to understand my vision. He really brought my story to life! It was exactly what I had envisioned when I wrote my story."
