    I have been busy watching the Business section on DP for a while, and posting my own listings a few times. But I am now curious what you guys in the trenches really need and want.

    Being an American living in the Philippines gives me a little different perspective. I obviously charge more than most Filipino writers. I believe my quality is higher, but I'm not sure that is what people are really looking for or not.

    If you have a moment to answer the poll questions it could be very beneficial to me and other writers here on the forum.

    Thank you!

    It's always a balance of quality and cost for me. It doesn't matter where the writers are from as long as they are able to submit high-quality articles (and that usually mean grammatically-correct ones). Work ethics are also important for me and this comes along with cost and quality. I prefer writers who deliver their work as agreed on and responds to emails/inquiries timely.
