As good as we think we are at writing we all have our share
of rejections. Some of those rejections need to be rejected because it is bad, but
there are also rejections where the writer has not set a foot wrong, grammar is
perfect, context is there, and the article is perfect. When you see an article
in the rejected column and no reason is given and you have spent two hours on a
700 word article, is it fair just to reject? One client told me, I love your article,
but you didn’t say his or her. Another one commented like this: don’t like.
Well, they can all then claim ‘don’t like’ and be off to the next writer and
repeat the same thing.
A client can have eight or ten writers and reject every
single article; no one is going to question it. My thought is something like
this: what’s to stop the client from taking your article, say no to you, then
give all your rejected articles to one of his or her own writers to rewrite? He
would only pay a rewrite fee to his writer and we would lose our fee and all
the time we spent researching information.
I have had two writers over the past year write to me and
say that they have seen part of my work stolen and in someone else’s article.
iWriter is a great site, but I don’t believe that writers can be seen to do all
this word grinding and the company not taking any measures to monitor the site
to stop clients reject some articles for no reason at all. The first week I
started at iWriter I wrote several pieces for a client and he wrote to me that
he would like to have me write for him as he liked my style. I got the whole
batch of six or seven articles. I wrote three articles for which I got paid but
when I came to the fourth and fifth article I didn’t see his name on any of the
listed articles. I wrote the remaining articles thinking he was sick or
something. I have not seen his name since, although I believe he is still there
under another name.
