Description of service

Needed someone with good English skills to edit and proofread a technical article for me. Excellence was much more important to me than saving a few pennies; I wanted to find a good writer with a strong skill set. The cost was $1 per 100 words.


Review of Service

The writer was more than I had expected. Excellent English and grammar, punctuation and spelling were impeccable. I have tried those services from South Africa and India where people offer to write multiple articles for only a couple of dollars. Again, you get what you pay for. I was pleased with the quality of the work and would not hesitate to refer the person to anyone at any time.


Tips

1. Make sure the person who is writing for you has a good command of the English language. Further, there are many colloquialisms that writers from different countries use; if you are from the UK, you probably want someone from the UK to write the article. The same if you are from the US - don't ask someone in Hong Kong to write your article.

2. If you seek quality, you rarely will be disappointed. If your goal is to save a few bucks and get a passing fair article, you may be disappointed. Often the grammar is so poor that you will find it will cost you in the long run, whether in redos or in profits, to go with a foreign company.
