Did you know that humans have an attention span of less than 3 seconds?
Yep, that’s less than a goldfish.
For one of the most successful animals on the planet, this is kind of strange. But also embarrassing.
However, the fact remains that no matter how great your content and ideas are – unless they are communicated in the most wonderful, captivating, memorable way, your content is as good as non-existent.
Sad.
But the fact is, we’ve got to play by the rules of humankind.
By the rules of our market.
And most importantly, by the rules of our readers.
Now to become a talked-about author, the first thing is to be a read author, ie, the one whose books people have read, loved and just can’t stop talking about.
This is the TikTok generation we are living in.
This is the Instagram generation we are living in.
We can’t just talk like it’s the 1970s or worse, 1570s.
Books still fire up people’s imaginations like very few other media can.
And illustrations are the best way to bring your characters to life.
And this is where your unique position comes in.
Your wonderful ideas can fire up the hearts of so many.
Let your books be bejewelled with illustrations that people just can’t get out of their heads. And together with text and illustrations, you can take the reader into your world.
What an enriching experience that would be for your reader!
From Cave Paintings to Children’s Books to Self-Help
They perfectly fit in with all genres of books, be it self-help, history, lifestyle or our dear darling- fiction.
And you will be surprised to know that …
…Illustrations are not new to us.
Our history with illustrations goes way back into the caves. Remember paintings of hunting animals and people dancing in caves?
Yes!
We have been using illustrations to communicate thoughts and ideas for longer than we realize. It was the preferred way back then, and believe me, the human brain hasn’t changed much!
Now we know why there are more “cave paintings” and less “cave text”? 😛
As our relationship with pictures is older than that with text, it makes complete sense for us to connect easily with pictures. Of course, you know your readers to have an “old-school” relationship with your books!
