Surprised no one has mentioned getting an agent. Well worth the cut they take to maximize your interests

everybody has an "idea" and nobody wants to pay. it's not much different from fl design work, only that rates for illustration haven't improved in 30 years.
your rate is predicated on "terms". terms describe the engagement and thus the scope of use and the type of use. your option 1 sort of suggests that it's a work for hire scenario where they are buying all the rights and the illustrator is walking away. i'm not sure what your option 2 is based on other than pride?
honestly there are a million ways of doing freelance work with a lot of gray between 1 and 2. Find a level of comfort within and go with it. It's one job. if it doesn't work: change it. nobody gets into illustration for the fame and wealth.

1. Tell your friend to join skillshare for the 2 months free trail, watch all the story writing and book illustration tutorials.
2. Write own story, self publish via amazon or other self publishing, sell on own ecommerce website.
3. Additionally hire a VO actor on fiver to record a reading of the book. Learn the basics of AE and do a simple animation of the book as it's being read, put it on youTube.
4. Profit.
- 5. When big serious book publishers come a'knocking, your friend wants an advance and royalties and to own copyright.shapesalad

Option 2 but refer all the Option 1s to other illustrator friends that need work?
