Actually i am an concept artist with creative mind and i am working with many authors. Most of the authors appericiate my work and get positive response from readers and book buyers. I have a keen experience in it as you said you rewritten your story so i want to suggest you that you also add some illustration artwork in your story and i learn this tactic from many professional authors they said that you have to grab readers attention and attracts them by your writing skills as well as artworks.
So the idea of illustration is:
The illustration for The Italian Themed Ball brings to life a lively, heartwarming celebration filled with joy, love, and family togetherness. At the center, Bluey twirls with glee in her fancy dress while Bingo strikes a playful pose, radiating excitement. Nearby, Mackenzie shyly adjusts his bowtie, Bandit grins with his usual charm, and Chilli stands elegantly with Collin beaming beside her. The festive ballroom is adorned with Italian-themed decorations—streamers and balloons in green, white, and red, twinkling fairy lights, and a glowing fountain in the corner. Tables overflow with delicious Italian dishes, and characters like Muffin and Winton sneak cheeky bites. On the dance floor, friends like Socks and Indy twirl and giggle, capturing the spirit of friendship and fun. With its warm colors and inviting details, the scene captures the joy of a family gathering, making it as delightful to look at as it is to imagine being there.
I hope you like the idea if you want any changes so i can also do it and i can also make this illustration for your story as i told i am an experienced artist so if you are interested so kindly show me your interest so i share my recent work with you .
