Frequently Asked Questions
What type of English do you write in?
I write in United States English. However, I also have experience with British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand English variations. If desired, please specify when placing your order.
Are there any subjects you do not write on?
I do not write articles on subjects restricted by U.S. law. This includes writing testimonials and reviews, which the Federal Trade Commission bans. I also do not write on alcohol or tobacco products.
I also do not write items with legal implications, such as privacy policies.
How long do I have to request a revision?
You must request revisions within 72 hours of order delivery. No revisions are offered once an order is marked complete without beginning a new order.
What should I call you?
I answer to Silver, Magpie, or Silver Magpie as well as Coleen.
Please note that calling me honey, dear, sweetheart, or any other pet names is offensive in my culture, and I request you refrain from doing so.
Can I see samples of your work?
Yes, you can. Check out the “Sample” and “Blog” sections of this website to view samples of my work.
How does copyright work on your articles? Can I name myself the author?
Once you accept the order delivery, the copyright is yours. You may do whatever you please with the article. This includes naming yourself as the author, distributing it through multiple channels, breaking the article up for social media posts, and anything you would do with an article you wrote.
What is your revision policy?
My revision policy covers everything from minor changes to complete rewrites if the piece does not match your vision. You have 72 hours from order delivery to request a revision and no revisions will be offered after this period barring exceptional circumstances.
Can I have a discount?
The answer is no, unless you are prepared to do bulk orders.
Can you upload the content directly to my website?
No, I cannot. I will deliver the content to you in a .docx files with the text you requested. I can also deliver in .doc upon request. I do not deliver directly to websites, so you do not need to supply login information.
