There are many great folks here at DP who are not native speakers of english. If you happen to be one, you may find that articles you write in english may not come across quite as professionally as you had hoped they would. I am considering offering a "clean-up" service where I will edit your english language articles into clear and attractive copy, for a nominal fee. I have no idea if this is a feasible use of my time and energy, or if there is enough interest, or even what to charge. Therefore, I am testing the waters by offering to proofread and edit one article for free for the first person to PM me. Please post in this thread to let me know you have sent a PM. Limits: For this first free article project, I am asking for an original article of no longer than 500 words. If this works out to our mutual satisfaction, I may offer this as an ongoing (but not free) service. Thanks!
