"If I don't earn your 5* review, I don't earn - won't accept - your fee. I do not miss deadlines".
Please ignore the hourly rate. I work on a fixed fee basis, but had to satisfy the Guru robots. All finalized projects are submitted for client review & approval BEFORE any contract or billing. All the time invested in research, unlimited consultations, (rarely needed or requested) revisions, planning, outlining drafting, re-writes, re-re-writes & 3x proofreading is on me.
I'm not cheap, but I am pretty easy ... and just that confident.
Links to my portfolio, publications and ratings over the past 40 years are readily available @ your request. (e.g., https://www.upwork.com/fl/writer )
I've averaged well over 500 hours per year as a part-time freelancer throughout the past 40 years. As this recent decade nears its end, I've succeeded in making that number something-in-excess of 2,500 hours annually. My clientele is worldwide. Time zones and "office hours" are irrelevant. By appointment, I'm available 24/7/365.
Yep, my policy is unique and obviously requires that I be as selective as any client is. I do not accept a job unless I'm 100% confident in its success.
For every hour I spend on composition, there are at least 2 to 3 more hours invested in the planning, research, outlines, drafts, re-writes, re-re-writes, edits, and (3x) proofreadings that quality requires. Please allow up to 5 or 7 days for most articles up to 1500 words.
My publications span Research, Journalism, Technical & Academic papers ... Speeches, Op-Ed articles, "effective" Press Releases (actually picked up, distributed and developed as news stories by the media) ... Advertising copy, Business / Legal correspondence, Magazine / Newspaper columns, Website content & Blogs - several Literary projects (Ghostwriter) - even a Cartoon series ... all with a touch of humor and irreverence as appropriate.
(I tried to enter "Poker", "Blackjack", "Hearts", "Gin (rummy)", "Craps" and "Sports Betting" in the skills window below, but they were all "unrecognized".)
Thanks,
Mike
