Looking for a regular writer

    Hi,

    I am looking for a writer who does not just patch up sentences and keyphrases. I value good writing. In fact, I have a good writer presently. But, I am looking to expand my writing team to take on higher workloads when they arise.

    Please contact me with samples / prices. I am not looking for the sub-one-cent-per-word writers, but once I find a few writers who write well, my final choice will be entirely made on the price per word.

    Thanks :)

    Hi Meistro,

    I have got a bunch of PMs. I am looking at them and will quite likely allot a small assignment to those who look promising. But, I do not want a free article. I will pay for the sample.

    I may not respond to those who I do not short-list. Hope that is not seen as bad manners :)

    Of course, I intend to wait about 24 hours from posting this thread before allocating paid samples. With hesitation, here are some thoughts for prospective applicants:

    1) If you are sending a PM for a writing assignment, make sure that your PM follows at least some basic rules of English Writing.

    2) I do not know about others, but I do not like bargaining price (that does not mean I will not do it). So, if you price it right the first time you write to me, I am far more likely to respond favorably. For instance there are 2 PMs that I really liked, but could not afford. Of course, each writer is welcome to their pricing. But, in case you quoted high with the hope of eventually settling for a lower price, then you lost out.

    Note: If your price is very close to my desired price, I will shortlist you and also indicate my desired price.

    Thanks :)

    Hi,

    Thanks for all the interest. If I have communicated with you by PM and confirmed that you are on my shortlist, I will send you a request for a paid sample shortly. I am busy with reporting to my customers on another thread I have at DP, and this is taking longer than I had anticipated.

    Details and instructions about the paid sample will be in the instructions that I will send you.

    Thanks
    Ajeet

    Greetings. Have you received my PM? My colleague, the person I asked to post under the username Grayscale, has informed me that you have contacted him about future correspondences on projects. I am the managing editor of the team, and I myself am a proficient writer. Please PM me in case you're interested. Thanks.

    Hi,

    If I have shortlisted you, I just PMd you instructions for a paid sample. In case I had specifically told you that I have shortlisted you, but you have not got a PM, please let me know.

    Thanks

    PS: For the time being, I am not accepting any more applications. Evaluating writers is time consuming and I want to batch-process applicants. Thanks :)

    My hunt for suitable writers is on again. Please read the original post and write to me if you think that you are the one :)

    Update: I am no longer doing paid samples. :)
