Wouldn't
you love to see your book as a comic book?
I
know I'd love to see my time travel as a graphic novel, as they call
comic books. I tried to hire a graphic artist or cartoonist and see
if he or she would be interested in a 50-50 split in the royalties. I
e-mailed about 30 cartoonists and only one replied. She told me that
cartoonists don't collaborate with indie writers as cartooning,
especially graphic art, takes a lot of work.
The only way to make
your book a graphic novel with voice balloons, thought balloons and
captions is to spend a lot of money or maybe learn to do it yourself.
You may be able to take some basic classes without getting a degree.
Here
are some links for online art schools to learn animation/cartooning:
If
you don't want to go to art school, you can pay a graphic artist to
maybe draw a few illustrations for your book. If it is an e-book, the
publisher may offer hyperlinks to the pictures instead of inserting
them into the book's content.
Here are some links for cartoonists for hire:

If
you are a cartoonist or know one who wants to offer indie writers a
good deal, post a comment.
