I'm a new writer. If I work with a student on their example research, do I have to reply to his/her emails every day? How often do I have to communicate with him/her? I'm just afraid that I will have to spend too much time answering their emails and won't have enough time to focus on research. What's the best way to go? I prefer to send a completed order once it's ready.

I've heard other writers skip communication to avoid confusion or adding extra instructions that would add to workload without an extra pay. Your thoughts?
