"I've found the direct service provided by Writerfind since I joined in March 2002 to be excellent.

Chris Ford, New Zealand.
"Thanks again for an excellent service. I continue to be contacted by people who found me via Writerfind—my listing pops up pretty high on the list in a Google search, thanks to your efforts." Cathy Chatfield-Taylor, USA
"I have four magazines that I write for on a regular basis—subject matter: renewable energy, fashion, business topics, marketing. This is all good bread and butter income. I have done a number of guest spots on ABC radio around Australia— one of those led to a request to run an all day in-house workshop for an international company on writing to make an impact. That, in turn, has led to other workshops. Further afield, I have a client in New York—that's copywriting and editing I have also had slots on CKNW radio in Vancouver (largest radio station in Canada). And I have had a couple of non-fiction editing jobs and am also currently ghosting a book for a Canadian publisher. All the above has come directly from the [Writerfind Profile]. I have had work from the job postings too...I guest lecture occasionally here in Melbourne on corporate writing and finding work as a freelancer—I always give Writerfind a plug..." Katherine Ross, Australia.
