I was in a tight bind and needed the job done immediately -- I only had a few hours to complete. Kris came to my rescue and did an amazing job: she didn't cut any corners. Not only did she come through in a pinch, she kept a quality standard so high only a few can reach. ” —warmwisdom (Re: time-sensitive project)

“You are a one of a kind genius. I love it, love, it love it. Excellent work. Your word pictures are equivalent to paintings by DaVinci. I had an instinct about you that you’ve very well confirmed.” R.H. New York (Re: website copy.)

“I’ve read over the (revised) manuscript. Brilliant! Thank you for sharing your light and wisdom. I praise God that he set you in my path. Another miracle to record for me. I just wanted to thank you. I’m so happy that your love for the Lord caused you to gravitate toward my project and touch it like you did. 7 million thank yous would not be enough so I will give you 7 million and 1!” C.W., author (Re: manuscript editing/copy-enhancement)

Hi everybody,

Over the past few years I have been looking for great copywriters to work with. As a non-native English speaker, that search has sometimes been frustrating, so I thought I'd share one with you that I really enjoy working with:

I found Kristine M. Smith via Elance: http://kristinemsmith.elance.com. She does good work for me in incredible quick turnaround times for pretty much half of what I would pay here in Europe (I pay her $50/hour).

I hope this helps somebody else who needs good copy.

Best,
TJ, PPC Genius

P.S. Full disclosure: this is totally unsolicited; Kris did not ask for a reference and paid me nothing for this one. (Re: Website copy-editing and enhancement, email copy-editing and enhancement)

“I think you work too cheap, Kris; put your price up, you are worth it. When I posted the original job, I had 5 bids, one I didn’t rate very highly, two were of a similar price to yours [$240] and then there was this other fella who bid almost 700 bucks. I went with my gut in choosing you and I'm glad I did. I would've gone with you had you bid $400. I will use you every time going forward and will recommend you to anyone I know who needs a great copywriter. NF, Australia (Re: sales landing page and e-book copy-editing and enhancement.)”

Kris took the information I gave her about the product, the target market, and the talking points regarding the needs of my potential customers and incorporated them all in a concise and fast paced sales pitch, using language geared toward my target market. Upon seeing the first draft, my very few insignificant changes were carried out immediately and the final sales letter was returned with 26 hours of commencing the job.
