I am a retired journalist who can work with you on every aspect of this project. I spent more than 30 years in the newspaper industry as a writer/photographer, editor, managing editor and the final 13 years as publisher with Canada's second-largest news chain.
I can send you at least three 500 word articles daily and I do have gTalk but I have used it only once. I just don't have anyone on my list. I will paste a recent sample of my work. Unfortunately, space allows me to send only one, but I can provide others later.
As you suggested, rates can be discussed. I had to put an amount into the field in order to send the bid.
Following is a brief description of my background....
I am known as a good writer and editor have a reputation for being able to ferret out those hard to spot imperfections that can easily sabotage a project. I detest incorrect spelling, bad grammar, improper punctuation and clumsy sentences and paragraphs.
My 30-plus years as a journalist has allowed me to develop a typing speed in excess of 70 error-free wpm and a keen eye for detail.
For years I worked with strict deadlines in the publishing industry, so I am very much in tune with any target dates you might assign to your projects. I am reliable and punctual and you will always have your product on time, and often early.
I also taught journalism and creative writing at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada for two years. For three years, I taught night school classes in creative writing at Beaver Brae High School in Kenora, Ontario Canada.
I am available most of the time. I am not a Snowbird, spending months in warmer climates, nor do I travel or take extended vacations. I now spend a good portion of my time at my computer working on one project or another. I am devoted to my clients and their special needs.
With extensive experience in research, writing and editing, my career included tenures as reporter/photographer, bureau chief, news editor, city editor and managing editor. My final 13 years in the industry were spent as a publisher with Canada's second largest news giant. As publisher, I was in charge of the entire newspaper operation.
I thank you for your consideration.

SAMPLE:
They are not your everyday choice for a house pet, nor are they all that pretty to look at. Still, ferrets are fast emerging as a very popular and loyal household pet.
It's only during the past 150 years or so that ferrets have been bonding with humans and taking their place on the list of wonderful pets to own.
Prior to domestication, these sleek, furry creatures were a favorite choice of the avid hunter - particularly for ferreting out rabbits - due to the fact their streamlined bodies allow them to squeeze through the smallest of openings.
Somewhere along the line someone recognized the potential ferrets had for co-habitation with mankind. And there was born the love affair with the ferret as a family pet, albeit an unusual one.
Today there are actually ferret breeding farms where one can purchase these creatures. Many pet shops also sell ferrets to would-be owners, and you can even find them online as well. You can expect to shell out anywhere from $75 - $150 for this unusual animal.
It is never advisable to bring a ferret home from the wild unless they are newborn orphans who have not had time to become accustomed to their wild habitat. The reason is that once a ferret has been exposed to the wild, it is pretty much impossible for them to adapt to the environment of your home.
Also take the time to investigate the legalities of owning a ferret where you live. There are places, such as California, where it is illegal to own one. There are states that do allow ownership of ferrets, but with some restrictions. Be sure to check these out before coughing up serious cash for one.
Keep in mind the fact that ferrets are one of those high maintenance pets that requires constant attention. It is not always easy finding a veterinarian to provide emergency care for your pet. Before you purchase, make sure there is professional medical help available in your vicinity.
And, ferrets are not happy being caged all the time. In fact, it is imperative that they be released from the cage on a regular basis. This is important because, by nature, ferrets are extremely curious and need the freedom to constantly investigate their territory.
In the big picture, however, ferrets are good pets if they are trained from the moment they are born. It is as kits that they are the most impressionable and likely to follow your leadership.
They are comical creatures and can bring hours of friendship and entertainment. The strange dance they perform, for instance, when they are excited and happy, is of special amusement.
Yes, ferrets can make great pets, but no one should purchase one without knowing all the ins and outs of owning one.
