Economics of Writers from Developed Countries (WB, OR)-- We have English as our Ist language. We deliver the best quality products (which is perhaps true). We desrve the premium prices. It is the third world writers with ESL credentials (like EW and Learner, and belive me there are hoards of others at this forum), who are spoiling the local markets by charging miserably low prices (true, but perfectly in alignment with the principles of free market economy which the West so ardently supports).
Economics of Writers from Developing Countries (and please do not call us the third world. If you do that, perhaps you are totally oblivious of the latest developments in the World Economy, especially regarding the Indian Economy)- Yes, English is our second langauge. We sometimes do make grammatical and spelling mistakes, but with the latest spell checks and grammar checks, we somehow succeed in drafting the desired products. IT revolution has left the world flat. We have access to the international clients. With our low cost of living, we can afford to offer our customers the most competitive prices. You may say that we deliver shoddy products (you may continue to believe that), but the ground reality is that our customers are so far happy with what we deliver. That's why we are never short of work.
HERE I AM NOT TRYING TO HURT ANYBODY. I AM SIMPLY STATING A FACT. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THIS WAR WILL END. PERHAPS THIS IS THE TRUE DYNAMICS OF THE MARKET.
