One of my perpetual problems with releasing software is that I hate writing for humans. Marketing blurbs, blogs, emails to the right people. It all sounds so easy when native speakers write or talk about it, but I'm so shy about this stuff that I'm never looking forward to finishing a project.

Is there a low-cost service that will proof-read everything you do (not for grammar accuracy, but also tone)? The easiest fix might be to live in the UK for a bit.

Yes, there are low cost services that will write copy for you or rewrite your copy, such as Textbroker. You could also hire a freelancer independently. (I do this kind of work.)
Yay! Thanks. Bookmarking your post for after the holidays :)
just post it in reddit or HN and I am sure someone would tear it appart free (or karma!)
