Hi Leon,
I hope your day is well! Thank you for the invite! It would be a pleasure if I were given an opportunity to work on this project, considering that medical academic writing is my field of interest as I am a nurse.
Although English is my second language (as I am a Filipino), I could say that my writing skill is good. I used to write articles for a client in the U.S. who is into medical-legal research, and her reviews of my works are quite good. But I fully understand that each client has his/her own writing style and preferences, and so, I am very much willing to start off with a sample article so you can gauge if I am a good fit for this project. Also, I am very open to take specific instructions.
As to the pay, my previous client used to pay me $15-$20 per 500-700 word article. She was my only client for the past two years since I started freelance writing, so honestly, I really don't have a point of comparison as to the usual cost of such length of paper. And so, I am with you, pay is negotiable. After all, while I need to earn, but I' more after of the learning and development of my skill as I continue to write.
Lastly, regarding timelines, I should say a maximum of two weeks for a 10-20-page paper is great. This is because I am currently employed full-time. But I am open to schedule adjustments, should the paper needs to be completed in a short period of time.
So much for now. Once again, thank you very much!
Kind regards,
Divine Grace O.
