My understanding is that publishers like to assign their own illustrators, Christine. Unless you're planning to go down the self publishing route, I don't think that's something you need worry about. Most freelancer and job sites have a section for illustrators/artists. Try Googling "freelance illustrator jobs" or "freelance illustrator wanted" and you'll find sites where they are.

Kay is correct. If you're going with a traditional pub., they'll want to take care of it. If you're doing it on your own, I recommend CreateSpace as the medium. As for illustrators, check out guru.com. It's amazing how many talented people are out there.

Good luck!
