I'd like to know, based on your experience, who you prefer to hire? A professional writer or a freelance writer? Depending on the answer, why did you choose that writer? Feel free to write whatever you need to justify your answer.

A freelance writer can be a professional writer and a professional writer can be a freelance writer. A freelance writer means someone who works as a writer and isn't on payroll of any company or individual. A professional writer means someone who writes for money.

But the question is about what is typical in general, that is, a freelance writer as an amateur who does not have, let's say, a professional title and a professional writer who has studied and received a degree from it, based on that is the question I ask, because what you say is true but it is not relevant.

Well, that's an interesting topic to discuss. There are many freelance writers who are not professional writers in an absolute sense. There are various degrees of professionalism. For example, there are many ESL writers who are quite different from native English speakers. Despite this, there is still a really huge demand of ESL writers in the freelancing industry. So, this entirely depends on how you view a freelancer. There are various types of freelance writers.
