Freelance Writers Needed
We are a well funded North American based consultant firm located in Canada involved in academic papers and essays.

We are looking for genuine, original writers who have an extensive command of the English language and are capable of research through academic books, the internet and reading material that maybe provided with the assignments. There are certain formats that need to be followed and the quality and standard of the paper needs to be very high, non-plagiarised and original.

This is a freelancing opportunity where you work from home. There are various assignments on different topics to write on and each assignment has a deadline that needs to be met from the time you accept it. As a writer, you are required to have a computer with internet connection, the latest writing software (Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Adobe Acrobat, etc.)

Ideally, we are looking for graduates and professionals who are top English writers with a wide knowledge base and can meet deadlines on time, every time.

Pay varies from task to task depending on your skills, aptitude, speed and experience. A simple high school level assignment would pay 800INR and a more complex university level assignment will pay around 1600-4000+INR. Assignments with closer deadlines may earn more.

For those who are qualified, this is a long term opportunity!

what you have written.. is this the standard of English of an
academic consultant? text in bold is what it should be

extensive command of the English language
(extensive command over the English language)

and reading material that maybe
(and reading material that may be)

be very high, non-plagiariSed and original.
(Americans and Canadians use "plagiariZed")

I expected something better from `Canadian Academic Consultants'... and...
