Freelance illustrator looking to offer services to new authors

I am a freelance illustrator living in Hertfordshire UK.
I am currently working for some great authors on three up coming children's books.
I can provide references from these authors and hope to be able to bring to life as many books as possible
My rates are low because at the moment I am in a situation which allows me to build my work,experience and portfolio without the desperate need for a large income.
This means I never take my work for granted and put my all into it as it is not just a means to an end it is a life long passion.
Please email me at emilyjh91@gmail.com if you are interested in working together
