I am pretty new at freelancing. truth be told I am still learning a lot.
Recently I sent my portfolio to Jonathan Oliver at Solaris books. I was shocked that he sent a response so quickly. Though he had nothing available, he was polite and professional. I definitely have a great first impression of Mr. Oliver , and I would be proud to work for him anytime. The thing that amazed me most was that he himself sent me the e-mail and not some administrator or secretary, I have to admit it was the equivalent of receiving a message from a celebrity.
I am thankful I had an opportunity to show him some of my work, and though he had nothing available at the time; he took time out of his schedule to address me
and give me some of his time.
Now to the lesser news, my book.
Unfortunately I am still in the process of editing my book. I have a designer helping me, but it is moving slow. it may take longer then I anticipated and I don't think I will be publishing for another 2 to 3 weeks. It is going to take some time.
