i've got a close friend who is in between jobs and is looking for some work. she's 35 years old and is a fully qualified auditor/accountant. she can write on a wide variety of topics. i can vouch that her work will be professional and she will be charging $7.5 for a 500 word article. i know that many would consider that as a high rate but she'll be able to write at a different quality level. pm me if you are interested.
