Bonnie,

There is no competition really. The inquiry you received was offering the
service of forming letters into words, words into sentences and
paragraphs, paragraphs into chapters of a manual (maybe...)

However, you can offer that, plus knowledge of your customers and their
users; knowledge of the technologies you are documenting; knowledge of the
technologies your customers and their users use; knowledge of the
industries you write for.

An overseas editing shop can't offer any of that and I'm sure an astute
employer/client evaluating you vs. them would recognize most if not all of
that. If not, I guess we could all learn more about communicating to
customers about the value we add.
