I like the testimonial on the front page:

Testimonial
"It never fails to amaze me: the people at Writer Services catch errors in grammar, punctuation, and subject facts that no one else does. Always on time, always affordable, always professional, Writer Services is a great asset to anyone in the business of communicating through writing."

Publisher -- J. Kahler - Team Leader / Project Manager


I used to get references from kids looking for summer photo internships and the old first initial only name was a pretty common tip off of something smelling like bad cheese.

It's especially smelly when writerservices uses a very creative spelling over on the left menu:

"Warnings / Rippoffs"

From Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry: rip–off
Pronunciation: \ˈrip-ˌȯf\
Function: noun
1: an act or instance of stealing : theft ; also : a financial exploitation
2: a usually cheap exploitive imitation



Hmmmmmmmmm.....



And there's the platinum package for $100k which can include 10,00 books!:

The gift receiver will receive the services of the Diamond Package with an award-winning book writer as well as our personalized submission services of our High-powered Book Proposal & Query Letter to select literary agents and prestigious publishers.

With each word that you type, you show, more and more, your ignorance. You don't even know the definition of "publishing." They offer "printing" assistance for those who wish to self-publish. Not a cent is taken as profit from any sales. I'm sorry, you have displayed and thus verified, beyond a doubt, that you have no idea what you're talking about. No idea. And as your purpose in life is obviously geared towards a destructive impulse, you no longer deserve my attention or time. Without further ado....

Due to Super Secret Moderator tools and my Writer Beware-honed research skills, plus, well, logic--I've got a strong hunch that "Clipper" is Mr. Nahas himself.

"Mr. Kelly," on the other hand, isn't.

Given the grammar and spelling in Clipper/Mr. Kelly/?'s post, I sure as heck hope he/she/it didn't work as an editor.

The questions that started this string was for working for this company as an editor, and all of a sudden this company is against writers and the bad guy?
What's going on here, people? Are you really that firghtened of a little competition? I too have worked for Writer Services, LLC, and they are the good guys. So please stop it already.

Actually, I remember getting press releases from Writer Services at our paper regarding gifted children...it was a few years ago, but I think it was to have a book ghost written on behalf of your child's "brilliant idea". 'Imagine the fortune you could rake in if your 8 yr old published a best seller?', or something like that.

I also know that the same pitch was made to some parents of Mensa kids, of which I am one, to pay tens of thousands of dollars to exploit their "genius".

There are less than fifty Mensa kids in the US under the age of*10*and I don't think any took the bait.

From the front page:
Writer Services offers an unprecedented all-in-one book writing and publishing service for writers and authors.
So who's confusing "printing" and "publishing"?

Hi, there, Clipper.

Just in case you do come back, could you tell me if Mr. Nahas is recommending "Poor Man's Copyright" to protect works in progress, as I suspect he is?
