Wichmann & Co is a hybrid publishing company created for authors who want more than just a finished book. Founded by entrepreneur and author Cecilia Wichmann, we help writers navigate the entire journey from first word to published work and into the hands of real readers without confusion, overwhelm, or guesswork.
We guide authors through editing, publishing, promotion, launches, and book signings, and we make sure their books are available in both physical and eBook formats at major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, and Willa’s Bookstore. You focus on the story. We handle the strategy, structure, and visibility that turns a manuscript into a book that can actually be found, bought, and read.
We are seeking a professional illustrator for a 24 page square format children’s book inspired by a grandmother’s song.
Original interpretation required. AI artwork will not be accepted.
Submission deadline: March 13, 2026

Willa’s Bookstore is an online bookstore built on something simple and meaningful. Real books, signed by real authors. Every physical book sold through Willa’s is hand signed by the author. No print on demand. No mass production. Just thoughtfully curated stories that pass directly from the author’s hands to yours.
We proudly support indie authors, giving readers the chance to discover powerful stories while knowing exactly who they are supporting. When you shop at Willa’s, you are not just buying a book. You are backing a writer, honoring their work, and choosing something personal in a world of shortcuts.
Signed stories live here. Signed by authors. Supported by readers.
