Tell us how would you handle a freelance writer who handed in subpar work?

I almost dealt with similar situations on a weekly and sometimes daily basis during my time as editor at Urban-Econ. I would have got a 40 page report from a Russian manager with a very technical writing style, and needed to edit the entire document in less than an hour. With time, I learned what to look for, and speed read forward and backwards for spelling mistakes, and sentence structuring; however their was no time to waste.
