Hello i ve just stated to listen to your podcasts thanks alot i am interested listening very much
Thanks so much, Bushra! I hope to stay with us 🙂
Hello Micheal,
I hope you are well. Your prodcasts are so useful and clear to understand. I would like to thank you for the most valuable prodcasts. I am planning to be one of your member but first I would to ask a question . My work are mostly in writing blogs, reports, and sometimes researches in English. I am trying to improve my English writing more and more. However, I don’t know any one who can check my writing and provide me with excellent feedback. Is it possible to check my writing if I become one of the members?
Hi AB, thank you very much! Glad you’re enjoying the podcast.
Well as part of the membership, I give detailed writing feedback but generally only for specific writing prompts that I give. So for example, I will ask a question (eg. Describe a childhood memory) and people will respond with 150 words about it. I strongly believe this can help with writing and other areas of English. But this may not be what you’re looking for.
The other service I have is general proofreading on my other website here: https://ewmichael.com/proofreading
This is for anything you like and you can follow the link to see more information and contact me.
Thanks!
