I've seen other threads talking about cover artists not responding and possible communication issues, but I haven't found one that addresses the wait-time on the initial communication, directly.
How long has it taken for cover artists to respond to your initial communication?
My initial contact is typically a polite e-mail that requests additional information towards hiring them for a cover. I'm not writing, "I need it now!" or "You don't charge too much, do you?" There isn't anything objectionable in my e-mail.
Do the cover artists who respond tend to respond immediately? Do you have some that took a few weeks to reply initially?
Again, I wouldn't mind a response that reads, "I'm so swamped right now, I wouldn't be able to fit new work in until the fall." I'm asking how long it takes to get any response whatsoever, so that I know whether to continue waiting or assume no response after one week means I'll likely never hear from them.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
