Thanks for reading my series! I really appreciate the comments and votes. 
          And catching typos! That is such an added bonus for me. 
          So... I hope you don't mind that I did some cyberstalking and checked out your profile on DeviantArt. I'm AbbyGoldsmith on there (but I hardly ever log in anymore). I really like your style, especially with the horses, and the silhouette/stencil art. Can I commission you to create chapter icons for my series? :-D  I may bug you on DeviantArt. 
          
          So... book recommendations as payment for catching typos. The first one is a book you've probably already read, judging by your tastes. But just in case: "His Majesty's Dragon" by Naomi Novik. I love Novik's upbeat style. 
          
          Second recommendation is more obscure. It's probably more middle grade than YA, but I loved it all the same. "The Girl Who Could Fly" by Victoria Forester. I have no idea why this book isn't more famous. It's got everything I love, in regards to superpowers in fiction. And there's a pretty credible super-genius character. (...I will say that the sequel was a disappointment for me, though.)

@AbbyBabble 
            Makes sense to me xD I'll wait for your notice then :) and thank you for your leniency as well--the road to success is indeed a long one... But I do hope I'll be able to produce the results you're looking for! ^^ I'll also let you know what I'm asking for each piece once I see your concept sketches (though so far it doesn't sound like it'll be anything majorly significant heh)

@IcefireStarfire Ooh yay!  
            
            I want to sketch out some ideas for the chapter icons, and then I will ping you. I would much rather commission an artist who's read my books than one who hasn't. And I would rather have you work within a schedule you feel comfortable with, with your class load taking priority. I have time to work with (the road to publication is a long one, for me). And I've been on the freelance artist side of the equation, before. That's what I did between full-time salaried jobs. Now that I'm back on a salary, it's all about juggling my time, so I'd rather hire someone--plus, I get super critical of my own work.
