Hi there - I have just come off a 6 month, 1500 article contract and hence I am looking for a new project to involve myself with. I'm from New Zealand (so obviously English is my native language), and I write articles full time (9 hours per day). I have a degree from the University of Auckland in Economics & Finance - so I specialize in these topics. However in saying that, I've written on a huge variety of subjects - from cars to beauty products to affiliate programs. My rates are negotiable based on your project, however my minimum charge is $0.012 per word, which is $6 per 500 word article. Payment accepted via paypal or moneybookers. Just to give you an indication, I can write up to 10,000 words per day. If you are interested in my services, send me a PM or reply here, and we can discuss your writing needs in depth. I have almost all the messenger programs out there - so I can add you to whichever one you prefer. I look forward to working with you in the future. Regards, Ben
