Publishers have their own illustratrors. They want to control the look,
the layout, of the book. The only exception might be very small
publishers, who might do a children's book or two as a sideline.
By the way, the author and illustrator are considered equal partners,
and share royalties evenly. So the author might get 4% of the sale
price, rather than 8% (or whatever the percentage might be).
