Job Reviews on PPH

by Kyleigh F on 23 Jan 2010

This provider really disappointed me. She started the work, agreed to time line changes and then after completing a small amount, questioned me about the length of the work to be done even though the length had clearly been stated in the posting. Following this she became very shirty in emails, and a few days later said she couldn't complete the work unless I paid her WAY more money. She blamed me for her not being able to complete the work even though she still hadn't to this point completed all the work she did have and had had since a month earlier. I found her lovely to begin with and then she did a complete about face, and in the end has left me in a very compromised position with regards to my own project work. I would not recommend her at all.

I found Francesca very easy to work with. The project was completed very quickly and to a high standard. I will definitely ask her to bid on future projects.

It was a pleasure to work with Francesca. She has a lovely writing style and brings creativity into every piece, and she stuck to the brief. Research is clearly her biggest strength and she did an excellent job for me considering her information resources needed to be translated from Spanish into English. Given the opportunity I would not hesitate to work with Francesca again.

The creation of extensive web-copy for a highly complex e-commerce website recording and selling classic audio-books.

I also dealt with the casting, contracting and handling of the high profile readers used to record the books. I then wrote and edited the entire copy for the website, from Home Page to detailed biographies of Authors and Readers.
