I would need the help of a native English-speaker to review some general, magazine-style texts for me.
My bosses are making me translate the texts from Spanish into English, and they didn't listen to my protest that this would need to be done by a native English speaker (who would need to be paid for that, consequently). Roughly I have some 30 pages with about 300 words each, although it varies.
So I thought I could take it as a chance to improve my written English. I thought that, in exchange, since I am a native Spanish speaker, I could help you correct an essay or similar text written by you in Spanish, something which I am good at.
If anyone can help me, please send me a private message.
If this is not the right place of the forum for this request, please tell me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd just like to point out that you are asking people to do your work for you, work that I assume you will be paid for,
for free.
That being said, maybe you could just post the parts that your aren't sure about here. Someone will probably correct
them, and you probably won't even have to do any work in exchange.

Not for free, I offered helping people with their Spanish in exchange.
Nevermind, I was just asking because I'm not qualified to write perfect English and I
don't have many other choices.
