Not sure where such a request should go, but I think this is the best place to post it. Hope it does not violate HP policies - if it does, just delete it, please smile

English is not my native language, but I work for American audience - so, I need a writer. I need a person for whom American is a native language.

I need articles of 800 words on average on the topics I give you. I may or may not give you ideas. If I do, I expect you at least not to contradict to my idea. I give you keywords that have to be included, too. And I expect all of them to be included. I usually don't have strict deadlines, but if I do, I expect you to have the article finished by deadline.

Since I am posting this request here, I expect people who have quality hubs to contact me. Please don't bother if you don't have hubs.

I don't need hundreds of articles, we are talking probably a handful per month or so. Don't expect to make a living out of it smile I would like to set initial price at 1 cent per word, and this is negotiable after we start working together. In other words, if I like what you are doing, I may pay you more.

You give up all your rights to those article written for me. I can publish them anywhere I want under any name I want and make to them any changes I want. You never publicly or privately claim the authorship on those articles.

Those interested, please contact me through my profile.

Thank you, Misha

Though I don't see anything wrong with your English. Maybe all you need is an editor, not writer. smile

Kenny, my "international" English is fine in a sense that I can more or less get my message across on forums. In order to retain person's attention, though, I have to speak their language... If I come to Russian site and see semi-literate copy, I just move on. I don't want my American readers to do the same smile

And did  you know I am lazy? I would rather have somebody writing for me big_smile

Hi my sweetheart smile

Right now I have a couple of ideas - which translates into a couple of articles. And ideas come regularly. I think we are talking several articles per month for indefinite duration - until we call it a divorce, if ever big_smile

I am an English Teacher, as a second language, and a life long student so I write on a variety of subjects.  I am creating a new website myself, just the basic structure up now, but would be interested in talking to you tomorrow.

Hello Misha,

Well you can find lots of writers on www.guru.com. Alternatively, you can also use craigslist and there will be a whole bunch of writers dropping their resumes. There are lots of good writers on craigslist.

Alternatively, you can use writing services company. These people are good because they manage a writer for you and they are sort of cheap. They ensure timely delivery and safeguard you against runaways.

I dont know if hubpages.com bans me if i provide a list here. Anyways, if this is against the rules. Please delete it.

Here is a list:

www.getmecontent.com
www.iwebcontent.com

Iwebcontent.com has many other things to offer. So check out all of these and contact the one that fit your need.
Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Rahail Salamat ( a new hubber)

Blaine,

I actually got tired to see you posting this link on every other thread. This is called spamming forums, if you don't know.

Your hub is not in the list of flagship hubs http://hubpages.com/help/flagship_hubs_completed

Please get lost.

Misha, the fact that you're overwhelmed says something.

I can understand someone offering to sell articles for $8 a piece to build up their reputation and portfolio as a writer.   But to sell all rights to an article for that price, and not even be credited as the author - that's giving it away.

Marisa,

It's a free market - I don't force anybody. And people find this price fair... Probably we have bigger supply of writers than demand for them. At least on Hubpages wink

Misha, I didn't mean anything against you!  People have a choice whether to work for that money or not.  I'm just surprised so many are willing to do so.  It's not so long ago, out in the print world, when you'd be insulted to get $25 for an article.
