We don't have any natural english speakers with our company, so what is a good site to have our blog posts, etc. proofread for style, grammar, etc? Any comments and thoughts on the subject are appreciated.

In the past, I have used http://www.theproofreaders.com to proof our copy and the results have been acceptable. |

Not necessarily proofreading, but a spell checking (which is a part of proofreading) site: http://www.spellr.us/ |

I'm going on vacation until May 25th. But I'd be happy to help proofread your site for you as I'm sure others would be as well. I think it's a bit silly to pay people/services that much to proof read unless it is a lot of paper work like 100+ pages or non-standard or legal documents. |

The first thing I would ask is who will be reading your blogs? What country are they from? What level of education do they have? You want to write your material to your audience. For example, if you are targeting scientists, I would consider BioScience Writers. Perhaps its Academic, try Paper Proof Reader. Otherwise I have heard these people are good for a general audience Me Good Engrish. |

Have a look at Peopleperhour. Its is a very large community of free-lancers and at last count they had 2,069 freelance professionals who do proofreading. You have to pay them but the quality should be a lot more consistent than what you could get for free. |
