We do however compensate our artists in another innovative way. Right now, the system is that every artist will be listed in an artist index at the back of the book. This index lists each page and which artist did what illustration on that page. Following the artist index is the artist directory, a section where each artist gets a space to design at the end of the book. In this area the artist can put whatever information they would like such as a e-mail address, web page URL or unpublished examples of their work. The idea is this: a customer that buys the book from amazon.com (or elsewhere) looks through it and likes a piece of art. That customer would then be able to look up who the artist is in the index and contact him (or her) for a commissioned piece of art by using the directory. We believe to an unknown or little known artist this is better than a one time commission payment. So no, they don't pay artists. I doubt they pay writers either.</blockquote>
