Tyvärr glöms illustratören ofta bort när man pratar om böcker.
Det har hänt mig otaliga gånger. Jag har tidigare skrivit om Sarah McIntyre och hennes Pictures mean business-kampanj. Nu vill jag dela ett mycket bra blogginlägg som hennes samarbetspartner Phillip Reeve skrivit på ämnet.
"One thing I didn’t foresee when I started making books with Sarah was how hard it would be to get ourselves recognised as a double act. We come up with these stories together, so the credit on the covers is ‘by Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre’, but even now, after six books together, people get in touch on social media to say how much they or their children or their class have enjoyed the books, and they leave Sarah out; even some reviews refer to the books as ‘Philip Reeve’s’. Since Sarah’s name comes second people ignore the ‘and’ and assume she’s ‘only’ the illustrator."
