There is a slight problem saying someone just needs a writer because most writers actually need a proofreader! Like me! And even I need a 'double check' behind me sometimes. Every time I write something I am terrified it will have a mistake and usually - if there is a mistake somewhere - it is because of bad typing, not bad writing or spelling! Proofreaders are there to help you, not criticise or make fun of you - so use them when you can - and please don't rely even 80% on a spellchecker (one word, by the way)!
