Who are the legitimate writing services?!

I see endless "warning! avoid this site" type posts, but very little in the way of actual recommendations for legitimate writers. Where can I find one that is actually legitimate and won't do something to screw me over? My most immediate concern is getting a couple of Art critiques done.

By the way, are any of the legitimate ones known to actually be based in the US and UK or at least another similar country?

1. Your type of post is not unique and has been addressed countless times in the past.

2. Pay attention to the domain name. (Hint: It's not EssayRecommendations.org.)

3. Read the frikin' rules.

Why is it so hard to have a list of verified sites? That's all I'm asking, I'm not trying to break your frikin rules.

So how is anyone able to find legit essay sites then? Because apparently, USA based ones don't really exist unless you want to get a really ****** paper, or you deal with some foreign company based in Kenya or Pakistan. If you have a website warning of scams, how is anyone supposed to know where the legitimate ones are?

I also find this sites rules kinda bizarre...you can trash a site all you want, but not recommend it. Having said that, I did find a legit US based service, though they are expensive (40 a page for low level stuff) and I'm in the processes of finding a cheaper one. I wish it was easier than this, a cheaper might equal ESL which should be avoided. In general I think that all recommended services here are well known so it all comes to making sure the writer or service has is qualified enough in your subject area.

I myself have been looking but still have found nothing that looks solid enough for me to jump on yet, so I am currently looking for freelance writers for my next term paper. no luck yet, but I will keep looking!

Hi, I have used two people I would recommend. First is freelancewriter hosted at aol.com, who posts on here I believe. He is very good, although too busy for niceties, so expect pretty blunt responses to you messages BUT he did get me 90% for an assignment he rewrote, so gotta be happy with that . I would use him more if I could afford his rates but unfortunately being in New Zealand our exchange rate makes employing him prohibitively expensive.

I have also got excellent results from Helen who freelances at helen on graduatewriter dot com but she may not be able to come through for you right now unless you book her in advance due to her busy schedule. Don't worry, though, she would reply and her colleague Erin may help you out too.

best of luck :)

FreelanceWriter is outstanding, period. If he doesn't think he can do an outstanding job on your project, he won't take your project, and if he takes your project it will be outstanding.

Thank you (again). I'd just like to point out that there's a big difference between "niceties" and "niceness": You're right that I don't usually bother with niceties like salutations and other elements of personalization in emails, and I admit to being sort of blunt when answering the same questions (and having to allay the same fears) from so many people all the time. I'm like that off line too in that I ignore superficial social niceties like entertaining "polite" conversation about the weather, wishing people happy holidays, etc. But I'm pretty nice when it counts, like doing the right thing and helping people out.

I once wrote a $50-pg paper for a company client and in communicating about her instructions, found out that she was using the service because she lost her computer (and several pets) when her house burned down and she was using the library pc to place the order. I went on ebay and bought her the same refurbished IBM laptop that I use and had it mailed to her, (a total stranger) at a cost of 3 times what I earned writing her paper. Just today, I did what I had to do to get a paper to a client 2 hours earlier than promised...after emailing her yesterday to ask whether she could afford any extra time because I'm working with the flu. When she told me she'd forgotten to tell me she was in a European time zone and that she actually needed it earlierthan I'd promised it, I got it done for her early. I admit to being too lazy to bother with many social niceties that people expect, but I think I'm pretty "nice" in ways that really count.

My price for projects of ordinary difficulty with plenty of time is pretty standard for good American writers, but yes, rush projects and those that are harder (for me) can get pretty expensive. I think that's fairly standard too. Finally, it's probably a good sign if a prospective writer is a little blunt because the professional scammers all have impeccable "customer service" skills, because their only job is to get your money into their hands. Those of us who actually have to write all the projects we get paid for are sometimes under too much pressure to answer every email in perfect customer-service style and tone.

If he doesn't think he can do an outstanding job on your project, he won't take your project, and if he takes your project it will be outstanding.

Thank you. You know I have equal regard for your work. I think some of my work is "outstanding" but I might be living on cat food if I only took orders that I could complete at an "outstanding" level. In my opinion, I write a lot more papers that are just "good" or "very good" but the important thing is that I always tell my clients what my level of confidence is with any project before they decide to pay me for it.

Here's another example: About 3 years ago, I asked the new UPS guy what happened to my usual UPS guy and he told me the guy was laid up at home after getting hit by a car riding his bike to work one morning. He'd mentioned where he lived so I dropped by his building to see how he was doing and found his apartment by asking some people in the lobby if they knew the UPS guy with his first name. He introduced me to his daughter who was starting high school at the time and the next time I saw him back on his route I told him what I do for a living and to make sure to let me see his daughter's college application essays when the time comes. Just last week, I got a package and it reminded me that it's about that time of year and about 3 years later...so I dug out his phone # to remind him of my offer and let him know it was sincere and that I hadn't forgotten. In my opinion, that kind of thing is more important than superficial niceties like sending people holiday cards and typing out personalized emails, which I have no patience for whatsoever. I hate social rituals of all kinds but I'm no Scrooge when it counts. Jus' sayin.'

One fraudulent* writer supports* the other. The* Scam continues*. lolz.

I don't even understand what your problem is with me, seeing as we serve a totally different type of clientele: my clients appreciate consistent, high-quality writing in grammatically-correct English and yours (assuming you actually have any customers) obviously appreciate "writing" in whatever language that is that you use in all of your brilliant and insightful forum posts. In my view, we're not even competitors, and if we were, I'd maintain my end of the same type of mutually respectful relationship that I have with all of my real competitors here who are my equals.

Well I can definitely say in my experience freelancewriter is not a scam writer. He is the second writer I've paid to help with my written work and he was nothing but totally reliable and professional. i had another English girl who I mentioned above who had helped me before and she never asked to be paid upfront so freelancewriter was the first person I had sent money too prior to receiving the work. Thankfully he didn't disappointment and I would have no hesitation using him again.

Unfortuneatley I have not been quite as lucky with the other writer who has let me down really badly this week and after having three weeks to deliver and now an extra week overdue still hasn't deliverd the work as promised, leaving me in an awful situation of now having only a few days to try to come up with something or fail

I get that.... If do think you're no doubt are a really good person :) Just saying that you email manner comes off as very off putting and therefore I wanted to give protective clients a headup that although you might come acoross as a jerk in your messages, your results as pretty damn good LOL :)

I get what you are saying about niceties but I think in emails etc they can go a long way as you don't have anything else to judge someone on.

BTW do you have any experience writing on critical theory/education for sustainability... Would you feel confident to take on urgent rewrite someone else has let me down on needed by sunday midnight?

I get what you are saying about niceties but I think in emails etc they can go a long way as you don't have anything else to judge someone on.

True. It also varies on my end, substantially based on how much time I have at that moment and what kinds of emails I've already been answering that day. Some new clients send me just 1 email asking for a quote and then 5 minutes after I respond, a PayPal auto-email pops up telling me the work's been paid for. Other times, new clients make me jump through a lot of hoops and hit me with a dozen emails asking endless questions about how they can be sure I'm legit, what my degrees are in, whether I can lower my price or take a 50% deposit, what the "process" will be, whether they will be getting updates or multiple drafts, can I send them a few pages at a time, what if they want things changed after the fact, whether it will be 100% original, and on and on and on. Usually, I'm working so I have to interrupt what I'm doing to respond to each of those questions, or to however many they put in each of several consecutive emails, most of which I already know (but they don't know) are unnecessary and whose answers could have been found in my posts on the forum where they found me and/or on my informational website. If your first email comes in right after that, you probably will get a different tone in my response than if your email comes right before that ordeal, especially if it starts out in the same direction. That's probably somewhat true about getting a waiter whose last table just left him a lousy tip after giving him a hard time throughout their meal.

I get that.... If do think you're no doubt are a really good person :)

I don't think the people who run this forum want us having these kinds of conversations here, but I already sent you one of my jerky emails with a response to your much nicer email before checking this forum this morning =)

Being polite in mails is something I find extremely important, but I understand your point FW - even though I don't agree with it.

As for the scam part, there are only a handful of legitimate private writers, and FW is one of them. Regardless of what you say. I am relatively new to this game (well, not so much anymore), but I've been around long enough to know who can and cannot be trusted.

I'm new around and I don't know what the rules are exactly. However, I think if anyone pms me, I might have useful suggestions. If you can't, just keep in mind that you must do your homework before finding a truly legit essay service. First 10 results in Google belong to same companies that manage hundreds of sites. Could be even more than that. The times when you could trust random results are over. Only trust your real friends who may recommend a site they have personally used. And be alert when it comes to your personal data storage location.

Hi FreeLance Writer,

I have an essay I need done which was due tonight at midnight, but have managed to get a 2 day extension. It is a 2 Page paper with a 450-900 Word min/max. I have the directions on the paper and can email them to you, but am not able to send emails yet because I just made this account when I saw this thread and the site is telling me I need to be a member for a minimum of 8 hours before sending emails. If possible, I would love to work with you and pay for your services. Thank you.

Legit Writing SiteRecently i ordered a dissertation for my marketing module. My writer was Kimberlee from Custompapers who did a great job for me. I do like to introduce this writer for you assignments. So guys, just request writer Kimberlee from custompapers.com when you place orders from thm.

And my personal experience, custompapers.com is safe and reliable as they claims. Students can be sure about their service and guarantees. I don't not care what others do or write here, some company reps may pretend to be students and stuff. I saw some good reviews and you can tell it was legitimate. I just want to share my positive experience with this website.

There are a couple of other thesis services I tried and if you don't like the one I mention above and your project required serious brains, you can also trust GraduateWriter or UKessays. Anything else will give you subpar work and good luck dealing with Indian or Ukrainian writers - revisions, if they agree to them, are never ending, you request to fix one thing, they fix and break another. Been there done that. So the only 3 services I'd suggest if you don't want to get scammed are CustomPapers, GraduateWriter.com, and UKEssays.com. Maybe there are some others but it's a coin toss. Don't fall for all those pretty discounts, you get discount but five minutes after you pay you want to reverse to the past because you can tell the customer service or writer are ESL.

Watch out for Ukrainian paper services too, there are hundreds of them but they are affiliates or other Russian services. They trick you by hiring a native English speaker via customer service live chat and you may think that their writers also understand English well. But in reality the only English speaker may be this support person and your paper would be written by ESL / non English who knows what. That's their way of stealing clients from legit companies. Also don't fall for reviews, I have a blog myself and can make it that whatever I write has 5 stars and a hundred of positive reviews. This is just a computer code, the stars are not real. The more good star reviews, the less trustworthy the rating is. Students who are happy don't post big nice reviews, they expect the work to be good.

Since we are not allowed to post company recommendations as per forum regulations, it is obvious that you are just trolling this site and trying to stir the hornets nest. You are not here to actually ask for help, you are here trying to figure out how to promote yourself without sounding like you are a company representative or something. Yes, you are actually trying to break the frickin' rules of the forum by your post content. My advice to you is don't try to bend the rules. You want to know which companies are legitimate writing services? You can start by reviewing EssayChat and EssayNews. Those are reputable companies. You know want to know which ones raise a red flag? Review the Do Not Discuss (DND) list of this forum. Believe me, if the company requests to not be discussed here, it is because there are numerous complaints about their services and the bad publicity they are receiving through student reviews at this forum have dealt their business a bad / financial blow. That is how you can start to tell if a service is legitimate or not.

This question can easily be answered by simply looking at the banner above. The word "Reviewed" with the check mark next to it indicates that the services and writers whose services and names you will find within the links to other pages are legitimate, trustworthy, and capable of delivering the quality of service that you require. The question that is used as the title of this thread actually finds its response within the system, without any recommendations being made by the writers. I am not violating forum rules by pointing out the obvious which the students seem to keep on missing as they move through this forum. The legitimate writing services are the confirmed companies and writers. The unreliable ones are the companies who are part of the Do Not Discuss list. That should be easy enough to remember for most students looking for reliable writing services.

Agreed. The banners for companies and independent writers above seem to be self - explanatory. The companies have ratings and so do the writers. The students can always directly contact a writer here for their writing needs or, ask for a quote from one of the assured services companies. I assume that since both have been in the business for a relatively long period of time, that they would not remain in business, nor be openly promoted at this forum if they were scam artists or blackmailers. Sure they may have egos the size of Alaska at times, but they get the job done. Both, as long as endorsed by this forum, should be legitimate and professional to deal with.
