Any ideas?

How can I go about contacting a writer directly? Do writers ever give out phone numbers for clients to talk more directly? Sorry if these are basic questions but I'm new to all this.

I am trying to find a good writer too. I posted once before and got a number of e-mails from writers but the one I went with has been disappointing to say the least. I know people will be posting here to say buyer beware, you pay your money and take your chance, etc. But if there really are legitimate writers out there making money from this, then there must be a way of putting genuine writer and client together.

Thank you, as a non native speaker I try and pride myself on my language, but if I were perfect I would not be asking here.
