It has been such a pleasure and delight to work with BCA. I particularly loved how effective their editors are in communicating the tasks at hand. Writers are given comprehensive briefs with timely deadlines. Also, I was taken aback by how supportive the team is; payments are timely with consistent work throughout the year.
