Re-writing of descriptions required

    Hello all

    We have around 40,000+ 'pieces' of text, each around 75 words in length, which we need to be re-written in to something more unique.

    There is a lot of work here - enough for us to support multiple freelancers. However, the quality needs to be there also - correct spelling, grammar, etc. is essential.

    We pay 40 pence per re-written piece and would prefer to work with people in the UK (experiences with India have so far not been good), although that's not essential.

    If you're interested, please PM me with a short paragraph detailing why you think you are suited to the job.

    Thanks. :)

    Hello Paul!
    I could do this work --- however what is 40 pence compared to USD?

    Correction: I looked it up - it's close to $1.

    Feel free to PM me.

    Errrmmm... Jessica... you obviously don't remember me. I already assigned a job to you, you passed it on to a freelancer... she did stuff wrong... she then gave up on it, and I never heard back from you since... ??

    Hello.

    Could you tell me what exactly needs to be done. Apart from correcting spellings and grammar, do entire sentences need to be replaced ? I have never done this sort of work before, but could try out on a couple of articles. And then perhaps we could evaluate things after that.

    Would love to hear back from you.

    Cheers.

    It's a case of being re-written from scratch really. Whilst the originals are often poorly written, we actually need them completely re-written so that their structure is different, and so that they'll be regarded as unique by the key search engines.

    Your paragraph rewritten.
    We have over 40,000 pieces of written matter each with about 75 words. These have to be rewritten to sound more apt and appealing.

    This is going to be an enormous task needing number of freelances, yet we cannot compromise on quality, correct spelling, and of course perfect grammar.

    Our offer is 40 pence per re written text piece. Though we prefer people from UK offers from other countries too are welcome, except from India since we have not had a good experience with them.

    Those interested can kindly send a short paragraph explaining how you think you are suitable for this work.

    PS:
    It is not fair on your part to pass collective remark on the people of a country openly in these forums?. It sounds rather discriminative.
