Q. What if I don't like the first draft?

Then I will rewrite your poem until you are happy with the outcome. It normally takes two to three drafts to get a poem exactly right and this is a collaborative process. For the record, my personal best (or worst) is nine drafts (but we got there in the end).

Q. How long will my poem be?

It depends on how much there is to say. I do not charge by the length and some of my poems can run to 30 verses (although I feel that these can be a little long). As an average expect somewhere between 15 and 20 verses, but it  does depend on the subject matter.

Q. How do I pay you?

What are the payment terms?

Can I pay over the phone?

There are payment options on site are operated by the world's leading payment provider (PayPal). I ask for a deposit up front and only ask for the balance when you are happy with your final draft. If you don't like using credit cards online then you can also phone in or fax the details.

I will call you back in person.

You can also pay by check or money order but that does slow down the process somewhat.  I'm sorry, but I do have to insist on the deposit "up front" as this is my only method of sorting the "wheat" from the "chaff".

 Q. What do your clients think about you?

Generally they are very pleased with my work. I currently achieve a 95% satisfaction rating. I operate a money back guarantee system so I do actually refund the deposit for about 1 in 20 - but as the saying goes: You can't please all of the people all of the time.

It is also a no quibble guarantee - if people are not happy then they get their deposit back (and I resolve to try harder next time).

 Q. How do I know that you will deliver what you promise? Will I get value for money?

My track record speaks for itself and the many, many customer testimonials are my testament. I have been offering this service since 1998, which in Internet terms is a lifetime. Complaints are rare and those received are dealt with in a professional and adult manner.

Q. Why offer a prepayment discount?

$47 does seem high I know. But I think I've done my sums correctly. The credit card companies hit me twice for the two transactions (deposit and balance), the administration costs are certainly cheaper and my overdraft charges are reduced. I also offer a no quibble money back guarantee.

 Q. Why should I go with you?

I am pleased to report that this is one of the most popular poetry sites in the world and the only place where you will get an original, handwritten "Jesson" poem.  I write every poem from scratch and although I may borrow a verse or two from my previous poems, every poem is unique.  Guaranteed.

 Q. You must get a lot of requests, how do I know that you won't treat me like a number?

I manage my workload so that I can give you and your poem the attention that you deserve. I think of every one of my poems as "special" so I treat them (and you) as such. I have also "retired" from the rat race to concentrate full time on my writing and Internet Marketing career. Believe me, you have my (and my bank manager's) undivided attention :)

(PS. Help ! :)
