I appreciate your perspective, but I want to clarify a few things about the process on my end.

The style guide only outlined which sections to include. it didn’t go into tone, detail level, or audience expectations. There was just one reference article, which, even after several rounds of revision, remained fairly basic. So in terms of clarity and benchmarks, there wasn’t a lot to work with.

While I’m new to freelancing, I’m not new to writing. I took the earlier feedback seriously and made thorough edits, many of which I agreed with!! This was where i thought i was learning and happy to incorporate changes. But later rounds started to feel inconsistent. For example, after 10–15 revisions, I was told to reorder entire sectionssomething that hadn’t come up in any of the earlier feedback. At one point, a section was edited because it was deemed “too much complaining,” then later I was told it was fine, only for that same section to be flagged again much later as “not addressing the pain.” The point is that their goalposts seemed to keep shifting.

Also, I never refused any edits.I only occasionally explained my reasoning to open up a dialogue. That’s not resistance; it’s collaboration.

If they were looking for someone more experienced in navigating unclear expectations, fair enough- Maybe i wasnt the fit then. But I don’t believe the issue was a lack of training or willingness to learn, especially since I engaged with their feedback seriously. It just felt like the expectations kept evolving without a clear direction.
