I was sent this by Freelancer.com, as I have a great knowledge of freelance platforms, am indeed from PA. I did only one job on here but have hired talent off here. I am a published writer and avid researcher and use both Guru, Upwork, Reddit Writers, and even Fiver (although not that one much), and other online platforms such as writers groups on Facebook to find clients and also even hire administrative assistance, So am quite familiar with all platforms generally and see the issues.
To be thorough I have given myself two weeks as I believe that is needed. I do have of course, a verified payment method and a W9 registered here for years now.
I do enjoy projects such as this and can renegotiate the price if you can give me the two weeks as good research does take time.
