As discussed some time back I am doing a thesis on essay writing companies. As part of my research I applied to some of the alleged reputable companies as well as some of the listed dodgy ones. I have recently had a few replies since essay season is hotting up and thought it would be good to share with you all the communications I have recently had with essayacademy.co.uk. This should hearten your desire to give this company as wide a berth as possible.

When applying I told the company that my areas of specialty are UK law and criminology since I hold a degree in these areas. Their first reply asked if I could do a test essay on finance. I reiterated that this was not an area that I specialise in so please send a test essay in the subjects mentioned. They then sent me a test essay on arbitration and conciliation in Australia. I pointed out to them that Australian law was not the same as UK law and therefore I would not be fully equipped to undertake such a topic. Below is my email to them and their reply

UK Essay Academymy email to them

I can write on any aspect of UK law as that was my major at university. I can also do criminology which is universal (Most sources for this are american). On these topics I can guarantee quality work and have many textbooks and access to articles for these areas.

I have on occasion done psychology papers, and have access to textbooks as my daughter is studying this.

If you do not have any work in my areas of specialty then I guess you cannot offer me any work. I would noy be happy trying to tackle a subject i am unfamiliar with as i could not guarantee the quality of the work nor whether it was the standard required by the customer.

Many companies get writers to write on any topic regardless of whether the writer has any experience in those areas or not. I feel that it is wrong for a writer to try to write on a topic in which they have no formal qualifications as the work is likely to be inferior.

Hi,

Thanks for your replay, we thought that you get wrong idea.

When you are studying in university, the most benefit you get is how to learn by yourself by some research,

Which means the learning skill, not the skill you have learnt, when you work for the company, the skill you got in university is not enough for the need from the job.

For your application, you have to prove your ability to us, not ask us to provide your favorite test question,

Anyway, we are happy to provide that specific test question for you, but you know, the order is based on the

Market, if you only can cover small area, there are few people need the law and criminology, most of the law and criminology essays come from Australia, even this is your major at university, but you cannot write the topic.

We just suggest that you can improve your skill to suit for the market, not the market suit for you, if you really want to make money.

Even if you have passed our test, but we know the market more than you. We have to know the your writing and research capability, if you can not finish the Australia test question provided before, we have to say sorry that we can not deal with you.

Regards

I have since replied back to them tonight as below

Hi there

I certainly did not get the wrong idea. Yes you learn research skills at university, however, you do not go out and buy text books on every topic going and so therefore you do not have the academic resources to be able to write on other topics.

I find it alarming that you have writers that write on topics that they have no experience in. How can you guarantee quality. It would be like asking Hans Christian Anderson to write War and Peace. I doubt he would have been able to make a successful job of it.

I guess this means that we wont be doing business.

As for being successful in writing I have been writing for customers for the last 4 years earning almost £20,000 per year. I think that is fairly successful. As for lack of customers, in the UK there are stacks of students studying law and criminology and many requiring assistance. I have been doing online tutoring for 2 years and have 15 private students who I assist. I was only applying in order to increase my workload and thought that you were running a reputable company. However, your suggestion that a writer can write on ANY topic is ludicrous and your grammar is appalling. I sincerely hope the quality of the work you supply is of a much higher standard.

I could not agree to work for a company that would pretend to a customer that an expert in that field had written the essay when I have no expertise in Australian law, business management or finance.

Anyway thought I would share this with you all as a warning that certain sites do not care whether their writers are qualified or not.

I didn't claim it was a legitimate site if you read the post correctly. I said I had written to supposedly legitimate ones AS well as some dodgy ones. This I believe falls into the latter category as you can see from my replies to them etc.

With the appalling grammar comment I would have thought it was obvious that I was inferring that this company is dodgy

especially since i said

This should hearten your desire to give this company as wide a berth as possible.

before posting the communication with them. I just wanted to point out how bad the company is. Thought you would welcome such criticism lol

Most companies believe that writers can learn on the job and familiarize themselves where a related background, in law, for example ' rists. That is how most of their writers get their off. I am not promoting that as a good thing. Merely saying that not all writers would be honest enough to admit differences when it matters. I admire you for your honesty. I hope your paper turned out well.

The owners of the company make a valid point. A writer should have the confidence to step out of his comfort zone. Expanding your horizons by learning in related fields could be a fun thing to do for people who enjoy learning. They usually make the best writers because they gain relevant experience based on their original degree.

A lawyer who would be familiar with UK law would be interested in Australian law since Australia is a part of the UK Commonwealth. The basis of the laws would not be too far-apart since they are mostly cut from the same cloth. But, I get your point. Stick to what you know.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.

The owners of the company make a valid point.

That response from the owners of the company was completely idiotic. Judging from their horrible ESL English, they sent him a test of Australian Law because they didn't even realize that it's not the same as UK Law. They had a prospective writer who, unlike many wannabe "writers" in this industry, accurately represented his qualifications and expressed his confidence very conservatively, limiting it to his actual area of greatest expertise. This is exactly what the operators of any legitimate essay company should appreciate, not criticize, ridicule, or consider a reason not to hire someone.

Expanding your horizons by learning in related fields could be a fun thing to do for people who enjoy learning.

It's really none of the company's business whether or not he "enjoys learning," what he considers "fun," or whether his only interest was in writing projects within his area of established relative expertise. From the company's point of view, there'd have been no downside to having a writer who had specialized expertise in UK Law, even if those were the only projects in which he'd have had any interest. Instead of appreciating his honesty and self-awareness, they tried to pressure him into working on projects outside of his comfort zone and they condescendingly mischaracterized his honesty as his having asked for his "favorite test question" and presumed to lecture him about what he needed to do to earn more money, which was also none of their business or concern. In time, chances are the writer would have expanded his range into Australian Law and maybe U.S. Law, too. In the meantime, his choice to limit his interest to UK Law was perfectly appropriate and something the company should have appreciated, in terms of what that indicated about the writer's self-awareness and conscientiousness. Meanwhile, I'm guessing the same company probably has a stable full of "writers" who routinely take on projects in areas in which they have no business dabbling, to the detriment of their unfortunate clients.

When I started doing this over 20 years ago, I thought that I'd only be doing projects in U.S. Law, Psychology, Sociology, History, Political Science, English Composition, and maybe some other general-studies areas. It never crossed my mind that I'd eventually write (literally) thousands of projects in Nursing, Business Management, Economics, Accounting, and in the countless other academic fields in which I never took a single course in college. In fact, my first hundred projects were so limited to what I'd actually studied in college and law school, that I used (mostly) only books from my bookshelves as sources for them and I bought more books before I became comfortable with and good at online research. Notwithstanding many overall similarities and common derivation in English Common Law, UK and U.S. law are sufficiently different that I was very hesitant to take on any UK (or Australian) law projects, initially. Since then, I've become very comfortable with UK and Australian (and Euro) law projects and I've probably written a few hundred of them with very good results. In fact, I have a 2.5-hour timed live UK Criminal Procedure and Evidence Law project scheduled for tomorrow. However, if the essay companies for which I wrote when I first started out as a company writer had either pressured me to take on projects in areas outside of my comfort zone, or refused to hire me unless I did, and/or presumed to lecture me about how I should feel about "learning" or about my personal earning goals, they'd have proven themselves to be just as idiotic as the owners of this particular company for the way they responded to this writer. At worst, he probably could have been a very reliable provider of difficult UK Law projects; and chances are he probably would have substantially expanded his areas of comfort in his own time if he'd acquired some confidence, first, at his own pace .
