Al I can do is keep working on myself, and taking pride in my own work. Thanks for buying the book. I really think you'll like it.

I was looking for someone to write a few web pages for me on freelance and some of the queries were littered with typos. You know, my spelling has become atrocious since I began using the Internet. Sometimes, I just can't remember how to spell the simplest things. I guess it's because so many sites are full of typos and we get used to seeing them that way. Hi Jim - this is so true.

Her samples and her offer were riddled with errors. I was a project I was bidding on also along with 45 other people. She won the project she also had the lowest. That told me a lot about the client. I encountered that on my second day as a freelance writer. Re: Studying I agree it is important. I've been doing a lot of studying over the past several weeks, and I do see improvements with my freelance writing. Oh by the way I ordered the book through your link. I read the reviews I was actually looking for a book similar to that. Thanks for the suggestion. :-) In total, I've purchased 13 books about freelance writing and grammar and I've found them all to be extremely useful.
