The formula of agreeing to work for royalties only with a group of new writers makes sense but it seems less feasible when looking to include art. Additionally, it feels like the standards for any artists are going to be higher than the new writer. Do you suggest doing the same royalty split for artists (which potentially means they make zero) or budgeting art as an out of pocket expense? I know I potentially could go to fiverr and find an artist that's just underpricing themselves and exploit that but I want to make sure I'm paying people what they're worth.
