Well a cover is a big thing, and congratulations....I read in a NY magazine, that last year illustrators were getting around $300.00 per cover now. It also said that about 5 years ago they use to get $1000.00 per cover. Times are a changing. But I think $300.00 is good. How many will you do? Sharen PS: that is really good for you. also, it depends on what you charge in time, what do you feel is a justified worth of your time. Let's not go crazy now, see I think my time is worth Bill Gates yearly income....LOL, but I only think that. LOL
