EditFast

This firm–EditFast–claims to have over 1200 editors, proofreaders, and indexers in its stable. Its owner–Robert Kidd–has a very brief public Linked-In profile. Robert appears to be **VERY** selective in his Linked-In connections because as of this date, 2 March 2008, he still doesn’t have any!

Conducting a Google search with the keywords being EditFast complaint or EditFast scam, the following hits to various forums or Web sites were found:
AbsoluteWrite.com forums
WritersWeekly.com forums
Work from Home Guide.net
HTML Forums.com

My gut reaction is that this firm is in fierce competition with other businesses (probably in Asia, where China, the Philippines, and India have far more English speakers than does the US), and EditFast most certainly does not have anywhere near enough work to keep its 1200 or 1300 editors, proofreaders, or indexers gainfully employed. So, any editor paying for extra exposure at EditFast would appear to be wasting his money.

But, perhaps, I might be wrong. Maybe someday I might come across somebody who actually worked with this firm–for fun or profit…
