The book marketer spam is hitting me too. Plot twist: I don't even have a book out. 😆

Hi,

I recently came across your book and wanted to reach out because your story caught my attention.

I'm an illustrator who enjoys creating character artwork inspired by an author's story. The goal is to give readers a visual connection to the characters and world you've created. Authors often use these illustrations on their website, social media, or in content related to their books.

If you'd be interested, I'd be glad to share a few character concepts based on your book. If it isn't something you're looking for, that's completely fine—I simply wanted to introduce myself.

Best wishes,
Peter

"Hi,

I just wanted to follow up on my previous message in case it got missed.

While reading about your work, I was thinking about how every story has moments, characters, and emotions that readers imagine in their own way. Sometimes giving those elements a visual form can create a new way for people to connect with the book.

I’d be happy to explore a few ideas inspired by your story if that’s something you’d enjoy seeing.

Wishing you all the best,

Peter"
