Leapfrogging the language barrier: Writing for non-native speakers

When I chatted with Tom Myers back in January about putting something together for WritingMafia, I have to admit I had to struggle to come up with an idea that would sit well amongst the rest of the great advice and observations that can be found over there. WritingMafia is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in freelancing – be they a simple dabbler just starting off down the path, or an established hack looking for ways to improve their game.

This blog post in particular came about after an incident that took place back at my old job in China. If you’ve ever considered writing for a publication aimed at folks for whom English isn’t a mother tongue, it might just give you a little food for thought.  Even if not, it might make you think, maybe even make you chuckle.
