First, it’s important to understand the reason why your request was declined. So make sure you read any feedback you received. 

If the feedback was “My skills are not suitable to work on this project” or “I am currently unavailable to work on new projects,” you should probably add more relevant professionals to your request. If the feedback is different, you might need to adapt your brief or keep working on your draft before (re)submitting it to Reedsy professionals.
