Thank you so much for looking at my project overview,. I really appreciate your initial insights!
I think what I'm looking for revision wise is first and foremost your general opinion of my work (i.e., what stands out to you, what works, what doesn't). This does not need to be poem by poem,. I'm just very eager for feedback on my work from someone with a critical eye. Second, the biggest thing I need help with is a second opinion on arranging the poems within the sections/the over organization of the project to fit with the themes and overall flow from piece to piece. This is mostly a battle in my mind between organizing by chronological order or by a more thematic random order.
If all of that falls within the bounds of what you can accommodate in your schedule, then I would love to move forward with working with you! Once the project in full is shared with you, do you think I could get an estimate for how many hours it will take you, and your expectations on payment (i.e., if you prefer payment upfront or upon completion)? I want to make sure I've got enough saved, and that we're on the same page going forward. I've never worked with someone of your professional caliber, so I want to make sure I don't commit any faux pas, because I really appreciate and respect your time and energy.
Thank you again! I look forward to working with you!
