Hi.
I have read your requirements for the Article Rewrite Project and I am OK with the rate of $1.00/450 words to get us started. I likewise understand all the items you have listed in your call to freelance workers.
I work-from-home in Manila, Philippines. My busiest time, though, would be 7PM-2AM MNL (US EST hours). The rest of the time, my schedule should be fairly flexible.
Here is the re-write sample you requested:
"In the event you wish to double check building codes for stairs and railing, appointments with your local code enforcement officer are available upon request. Note, however, that due to the busy nature of onsite work, setting schedules for inspections may take time. On the upside, these officers' expertise allows real time feedback, ensuring you cover all the necessary checks prior to moving into your new home. From what-to-expect and timetables, these officers may easily advise you of other additional tasks which may be required even after moving in."
For rewrites of articles with approximately 450 words, I may turn in 6 articles within a 24 hour timeline. I've produced more of similar re-write tasks in the past, but would like to leave some wiggle room should rewrites pertain to more technical writing.
My portfolio provides other types of writing samples.
I know you are more after quality in writing, but it may interest you to know that I have an adjusted typing speed of 80 words per minute - which is about 122% above the average 36 WPM.
You may be assured I can work with minimal or no supervision, meet deadlines and understand directions in one go.
I do have a Gmail account. I may also provide you a mobile number (Smart/Globe) for easier communication.
I look forward to working with you.
Thanks,
M. Bass
