Getting Closer to sending out emails to agents. Here is my Query Letter.. Dear [Agent Name],

I am seeking representation for ENCHANTED DREAMS: MOON, SUN, AND STARS, an illustrated picture book collection featuring 26 tales and artwork for readers of all ages. As an author-illustrator and professional artist since 1987, I create imaginative tales that introduce readers to myth, mystery, and the untold legends of the cosmos.

ENCHANTED DREAMS is a collection of celestial-themed fables, each uniquely complemented with original ink and watercolor illustrations.  Unlike many picture books, this collection weaves together unique imaginative storytelling with artistic interpretations of cosmic mythology, offering both visual and literary engagement. In tales like “Stars Just Wanna Have Fun” and “Orion and the Dragon,”  I invite readers to discover the universe’s secrets in playful narratives and vibrant imagery. These tales, averaging 300–400 words each, offer intimate glimpses into my own “enchanted dreams,” transforming celestial events into whimsical, relatable legends.

In addition to this collection, I am developing a second project titled “THE CHRONICLES OF THE WISDOM SEEKERS.” My work draws on a lifetime of artistic experience across various media, from copper and wood craftsmanship to etch and reverse glass painting. My creative path was deeply shaped by a 1980 accident that required me to relearn how to walk; today, I use that “overcoming spirit” to advocate for disability representation in art through my “Beautifully Broken” expressionistic series.

I am a member of SCBWI, and my full portfolio can be viewed at http://www.angelwingartfarm.com.

Thank you for your time and for considering these legends of long-lost knowledge.

May the Moon, Sun, and Stars shine brightly upon you, Sincerely,

David Krafcik
