Hi guys, Do any of you know where can I get some expert opinion on my writing? I mean for free, of course. The one where we can submit our article for an honest evaluation from a writing expert. I love to write but I need some feedback on my writing. I need to know is it bad or good? Only then I can apply as a freelance writer to various writing websites.

Writing improves with experience. You can get guidance from fewllow writers and getting help from writers at Helium.com is a great idea. Other place is to look for writers forums. Make sure to visit a few sites below to learn more on writing and writing oppurtunities: www.writingfordollars.com www.writersdigest.com www.sellwritingonline.com www.passionatepen.com www.freelancewriting.com Another great site that I stumbled upon is writersonlineworkshops.com. It provides special classes on writing for beginners, intermediate or advanced writers.

Hi Neoplanet, in this case, I suggest that you sign up for Helium. Even though you do not earn a lot from writing to Helium, you will learn a lot from the rating system there. Plus, Helium has a kind of mentoring system for new writers. You have to write to a title with a lot of articles, and let the writers rate your article against the others. The rating takes place over a few days, a lot of writers will compare your article to others in the same title. You will learn how the readers view your writing. And you can edit the article using the leapfrog, and resubmit the article for rating. Helium is a good site for beginners, from here, you can branch out to other high paying writing site.

There aren't many experts who will offer things for free. Your best bet is to ask honest opinions of other writers: for example, the Associated Content forums have a "please critique my articles" area, if I remember correctly. You can ask for feedback in there. Or you could post a URL here and ask people to comment.
