Hi Tim, Just to start off and say everybody my end really loves the general approach, which is great. We think this is going to be amazing. Just one comment ... based on the rough, the only concern is that it looks a bit young and a bit too fantasy. It may be that when its finished with more adult arms this will be dealt with. Would you be able to address this?

Sure, I can make the arms a bit more adult/adolescent and I can tone down the fantasy aspect of the finishing.-
Also we were thinking maybe we could have a couple embracing, rather than just the arms holding hands, it would make it clear that it was adult/more passionate. Or maybe the colours can be changed to make it feel more adult?"-
Oh okay, so... are you saying that the colours aren't quite right? Its not a problem to change them but personally I think the colour palette is right for this. As for the two hands element I can change it for a couple embracing but that's obviously a totally different image so I'd need to know for sure now before I start illustrating one or the other... could you confirm which you want?-
I meant to say as well, we're not sure the leaves are the best framing element - though we don't have an alternative suggestion in mind.-
Okay... so the general style of presentation is wrong, the colouration is wrong, the 'holding hands' element is wrong and the leaves element is wrong. That's quite a lot of stuff wrong now. Can I just check that you are happy with the typography and the cityscape...-
We think the typography could be more interesting-
Oh right. So its just the cityscape that's okay then?-
Sorry this all sounds so negative...I really do think it'll be wonderful-
Yes, it will be wonderful, especially with that cityscape and all.-
To be honest, at the moment the cityscape is a little too busy and not quite magical enough, but I'm sure that can be resolved.-
But that means that nothing is right at all now except the actual format!-
With regard to the format, there has been a format change.This is the edited highlights of an email exchange between me and a book publisher last year.
