Attention all Steemians!!

I have been trying to figure out a way to give back to the Steemit community. I have been lucky enough to have stumbled upon this growing community and I have been thrilled with my experience. My success to date has been mixed, but more so that the $$ attached to my posts, I am thoroughly enjoying sharing and engaging with fellow Steemians.

So the question I have been toying with lately is how can I give back? Aside from sharing and posting, how can I give back to the community? What can I do? There are a number of great initiatives out there and I have been fortunate enough to benefit from some of them. As an aside, I would like to give particular props to Steemprentice and my mentor @kryptik for helping me out and allowing me to bounce ideas off them.

What I have noticed on Steemit, is there are a plethora of Steemians whose native language is something other than English. Sometimes, it is fairly evident in the posts and a good proofread may have helped make the story/poem/blog a little more coherent. So why not play to my strengths? I have worked in Communications for the better part of 15 years, writing a wide variety of content such as news releases, annual reports, biographies, etc. Likewise, I recently wrote my GMAT this past February and ranked in the 97th percentile in my verbal section, which is linked to my understanding and knowledge of the English language.

Therefore, I have decided that I will offer my services as a proof-reader to select Steemians.

FREE OF CHARGE

That is right, I am not charging anyone. I have no intention of making a quick buck off this. I simply want to give back to the Steemit community by utilizing my strengths.

I won’t just proofread your articles, I will provide constructive feedback and give you tips to help master the written English language. Have I piqued your interest? If you are interested, drop me a line in the Steemit Chat @mlitalen, slightly different than my Steemit name.

Thanks everyone and I look forward to working with you!!

Amazing man! This is what this community NEEDS. I love that you're paying everything forward. That's extremely admirable.

Thanks. Just trying to lend a hand!!

You shall incur great favour. What a kind offer to support this diverse community. A commendable act indeed. Great post and easy upvote.

I believe in the community, so its important that we take steps to strengthen it. This will be my small part.

Agreed. We do what we can to help keep pushing the community's growth and stability in the right direction.

This is a wonderful idea @mlialen! This is absolutely a need for some non-native English speakers that are (understandably) posting to English readers. I fully expect you're going to provide a lot of benefit from this offer! :D

Thanks for the offer. just posted my latest. ;-)

You got my vote. Steemit needs more people like you

WOW! this is an awesome idea thank you for giving back @mlialen!

Woo-hoo! May your generosity multiply and return to you.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. If you know of anyone who can use some help, just point them in my direction.
