Writer – Editor?
Reply to:imanassandathief.comDate: 2008-03-11, 5:12PM PDTI need a few pages of text “rewritten” so as to NOT violate copywrite laws. The text in question is just about 99% perfect for my use… other than inserting my name in place of theirs… but, I fear that’s not legal, so, let’s rewrite it to avoid any issues. Similar is great – plagerism isn’t. How much would you charge per page? How long would you need to perform task?
