HOW to find a legitimate writer?

New here and have spent hours scouring this site for even a small clue of a legitimate essay writing service and/or individual. But there is so much trash-talking that I can't discern the good from the bad. After reading a ton of posts I'm getting the general idea that it may be best to hire an individual writer instead of an essay writing company....yes? If so, how do I go about finding a good, and especially important, honest writer?

Thank you in advance!

Whoops! Nevermind, I found the forum for others seeking legitimate writers also, apparently I didn't spend enough hours looking :-)

Which one would that be?

Yes, do tell....

Generally, it's the same pool of writers either way. There are some advantages and disadvantages to both. Either way, stick with the first good writer and/or legitimate company you find unless or until they can't do a specific paper you need.

The best writers are the ones you can deal with face-to-face, or that come highly recommended from individuals you personally trust. Otherwise, you really don't know what you're getting. You need to have some access to info about their track record. Anybody can post a bogus track record on a website and call themselves legit...the only way you can verify for sure is to consult the experiences of that writer's past clients. Best of luck.

Awesome advice for an industry that's conducted almost exclusively on-line.


Equally awesome advice that referrals are safer than blind trust of strangers. The part about knowing them personally is especially useful in an industry where most customers probably prefer not to disclose to anybody who knows them that they use professional help to do their writing.

talk sense!

Recently joined this Forum, and I must admit, I am hooked! Love the lively, and especially, the non-camouflaged banter, however sharp-edged on occasion.

Very useful advice with flair . . . dig it.

It's good to welcome a fellow pasta enthusiast! ^__^

Thanks for the welcoming!

Where to find a good freelancer writer?

Hello all
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread, so I apologize in advance if it is not.
I have a somewhat unusually essay which I have found difficulty in doing myself, and the work done by one essay writing service was under-par.

I would like to have direct contact with an excellent writer who will only be asked to review my paper and see what can be done to make it better.

Thank you

The question of questions.

Look for samples of work that writers have done.
Pick the one you like best.
Goodluck

Is there any chance at all I can find a writer to begin work tonight

Can someone just kindly shove me in the right direction without committing essayscam sin.
I can't even directly contact anyone on this forum who seems to be legitimate, how else are we suppose to find writers.
I also tried all of the recommenced peoples, all are fully booked today. Grrr
Help

It's just the worst possible time of year to ask for immediate turnaround (7-8 hours, I believe) for a substantial rewrite of a complex 4,500-word project; that's why I had no choice but to decline when you contacted me directly, which I do appreciate, nevertheless. This particular project wasn't straightforward writing, either: it would have required a good hour or more just to go through it in sufficient detail to figure out how much work it needed and what would have been a fair price for it.

Most writers who are experienced enough to provide quality work on that particular kind of project are swamped with deadlines right now and just too busy to put that kind of time into figuring out a price for it the moment we receive the email, and in time to respond and then wait for payment to come through to start working on such a short deadline, by which time there'd probably have been only about 5 hours of working time remaining to make your deadline. (That's especially true when we already know that it's going to be very expensive because of the rush and that there's a very good chance the client will decline the quote after we put in the time to price it, simply because she may not anticipate how expensive it's going to be if a writer has to drop everything he's already doing today to take on this kind of project on such a short deadline.) At the very least, taking on that project today would have guaranteed that I'd be working through the night and into tomorrow morning just to make the other short deadline(s) to which I was already committed today.

That's not to say that it's impossible or that I haven't taken similar projects with similarly-short deadlines; but that would have been impossible for me today. Please understand than none of us is in business to decline projects, but if you wait that long to solicit help with such a long and complex project, you're really narrowing down your options. Best of luck with this one.

@lyx0 at this point, your only option will be to consider one of the essay writing companies recommended by the forum. It is truly the hot season for all the freelance writers at the moment. What with only 2 weeks or so to go into the remaining school year, all of the best and brightest independent writers have already been booked solid as early as 3 months ago. Procrastination never delivers good results. So what are you left to do?

Consider hiring an essay writing service instead. Not all of those companies are scams. There are a number of them that actually deliver as promised. Now, since you don't have the time to vet the companies before your deadline sets in, perhaps it would be to your benefit to look over this forum for the most qualified company to work with instead. Go through the Essay Services thread. Maybe a reliable company will come up for you to use. Only a writing company may have a staff writer on stand by at this point who can take your order.

Whether it's a freelancer or writers at essay-companies, you're right about all of the best and brightest writers likely being "booked solid" for any 6-hour turnaround on 4,500 words; and nobody other than the best and brightest is even going to attempt such a project even with a full-day deadline. It's definitely the wrong time of year to expect anybody who's already busy making deadline after deadline to invest an hour or more just into figuring out a price to quote the customer for a project he might not even choose to order once he finds out the cost of meeting his deadline, assuming it's possible, which probably wouldn't have been the case on this particular deadline.

However, I've known only one other independent writer who regularly gets and maintains the volume of work that I do in this business and neither of us is ever likely to be "booked solid" three months in advance, even during our busiest seasons. Typically, we may have a few ongoing long-term dissertation projects that started a few months (or more) ago; but the vast majority or of our inquiries and booked projects almost always tend to be in the range of a couple of days before deadline to a couple of weeks, and maybe one full month before deadline. Three months ago, trimesters hadn't even begun yet and even semesters were barely a few weeks old. The vast majority of our customers don't start looking for writers more than a month before their projects' due dates; in fact, most of them wait until the last week or two, or much later than that. A few days for this project could have been manageable, but he waited until a few hours before his deadline for a project that was anything but straightforward.

The guy to whom you're responding isn't likely to have found any help from an essay company either, at least not without a deadline extension. As I explained, he first contacted me about 7 hours before his deadline for a complex 4,500-word project that would have required an hour or more just to figure out what it needed and what to charge for it, leaving only five or six hours of working time, assuming lightning-fast payment. Whether it's a freelance writer or an essay company involved, that process would have been substantially the same, because he couldn't even have known how many pages to order and pay for on his own; and at essay companies, the order would also have had to be processed and then posted onto their project boards before any writers could even have seen it. The automated order-processing system at the last company for which I did a lot of writing doesn't even accept deadlines shorter than 8 hours and from what I've seen on other companies' websites, they also limit the maximum length of projects that can be ordered for rush turnaround, however they define their "rush deadline" category.

does anyone know of any writer that writes news and view article in biology subject?? I need it in 44 hours and word limit of 1000 words..

It's true. During the peak season, the best writers are usually on very high demand. It might be hard to get one willing to take on such a project with such a short deadline.

Honestly though, students in such a position-however they found themselves there-are better off with an essay company than with a freelancer. Essay companies have several options regarding how to handle a rush delivery. In the companies that I've written for, whenever an urgent order is placed, they immediately publish it with a very attractive rate that is normally higher than nearly all other orders being worked on by each writer at the time (all other factors kept constant). As much as all good writers are normally busy with previously taken orders, there's a high chance that at least some will be tempted to take the urgent project and reorganize their schedule to fit it in. But even if none of them take it, the company knows which writers can be approached directly and persuaded-with whatever incentives-to take it on. They (the company) can even decide to forego significant portions of the margins on that specific order just to come through for the client, a sacrifice that would not make much sense to a freelancer.

The long standing members of this forum are your best bet when it comes to legitimate and reliable writing service providers. Their reputation as trustworthy and reliable writers, who more often than not, delivers above the client expectations, ensures that the clients do not have to think twice about negotiating a paper order with them. Essaybrand, from what I have heard, is the best method of picking the writer for your task. It has come highly recommended by most student users and, ES is quite proud of the vetting job that they have done in terms of allowing independent writers to join that part of the advertising service of the forum.

Remember that it is easy for a writer to misrepresent his writing skills these days. What the student has to prove these days is not the legitimacy of the writer but the skill of the writer when it comes to essay or research writing. There are have been instances when writers use AI to create the work for their clients, specially when a short turn around time is provided to the writer. Therefore, testing the writer skills and making sure that he does not use AI is one of the major points you have to consider when it comes to the legitimacy of the writer.
