Need a proof reader and article rewriter US native only!

I think the point he is trying to get across is that it is unfair for people who cannot write very well, to take on writing work (with someone elses sample) whilst claiming that they can write to a perfect level. They then pass the work to a native speaker who could have completed it in the first place thus earning more money. I agree to a certain extent that it is unfair for anyone to be a middle man who cannot write English to a readable standard; and after working in the writing biz for many years it does seem to be mainly Indian's who do this although not every Indian is a poor writer, and not every native speaker is a great writer.

The comment about people from the US being the non natives is an unvalid point as we are talking about native ENGLISH speakers here not native Americans.

 

The point you make about someone who is himself not a good writer, but then acts as a middle man is applicable even to Americans. Do you think that I, as an Indian myself, have not come across native-speakers who cannot write as well as me, but who then act as middle men? You can bet I have.

I agree that this is not desirable on many levels, and it will save a lot of effort and money if the principle actors could work directly with each other, but that is a discussion of economics that has nothing to do with what country someone belongs to. That it is somehow more deplorable because it is a non-native speaker who is doing this is the idea with which I do not agree, that is all.

Don't take it seriously. It's supposed to be witty. ( if you're talking about my last two lines).

 

If you read my post correctly you will see that I said it can be both native writers and non native writers that are poor writers, acting as middlemen. I do think it is unbelievably unfair but nothing that is going to change whilst excellent writers continue working for the middlemen. Good writers deserve good wages, they don't deserve work that has been outsourced once, twice, three times.

It is not an attack at you, or indeed an attack against non native speakers. It is an attack against any middlemen who cannot write but make money by applying for jobs with native speakers samples, and then outsource it. If you can't write... don't. There are plenty of other jobs but whilst this market continues to be flooded with poor writers working for ridiculous wages and then outsourcing, the freelance writing industry is never going to improve.

 

I needed someone English native for my work because I felt it was necessary for my work. That was the reason for giving the title as it was. But in any event I think rather that blaming the thread for being somewhat less, more attention should be on the fact that the discussion is inappropriate in this thread. It is a professional requirement advertised and all this is not called for here. I am sure there are places where you can discuss this. You are only making it controversial and as a result I am the sufferer with no one going for the work. Can you stop this please?
