yes publishers want to hook you up with illstrators. Oprah was a long shot. She is pretty benevalent, and my wife is disabled. One tip. big pub houses do not like you to have done multiple submissions. They like to know they are the only ones who have it so they can take 6 months to send that rejection letter. It's not like the record biz where you can submit a demo to all of them at once.
