On the other hand (well, other hands are what I do best in...smile), why should a publisher NOT review a book with writing and illustrations? The writing and illustration could be by separate people in a combined effort. Additionally, why look at a book submittal and say, "Drat, illustrations AND writing!", and throw it in the pile right next to the reject pile? I'd think someone could look at this sort of submission and eliminate the illustrations rather quickly and just say, "We love the writing but the illustrations fall below what we expect. We will accept the writing and have one of our illustrators complete it." I dunno, just a thought.
