Even if an academic writing site claims that they hire only American of UK based writers, you will not lose anything if you ask regarding their hiring process and if they would consider hiring an ESL who is of native speaking level. Some of them require that the writer take a test to prove his English proficiency. If you manage to pass the test, then you can be sure that they will hire you. The only way that you won't get hired by those sites is if you do not even try to apply. Never take no for an answer. Ask for the chance to prove yourself. Don't talk to the staff, ask to have a few moments of time with the HRD supervisor. Depending upon how you negotiate, you may or may not get the chance to at least take a test for hiring considerations. You only lose in the hiring game if you choose to remain silent rather than ask if you can at least try.

I don't see why a writer would be upset at having a writer submit an original paper, written for and paid for by the client, to a class, in his name. That is the sort of business that I am in. I provide original papers to client's who don't have the time or ability to write the papers themselves. It is understood that the service I provide will be submitted for a grade. That is why there is a guarantee of an original paper being written for the client. The Terms of Service of my company clearly indicate that all rights and authority to use the original paper transfers to the client upon it's submission by the writer for the client's use. If any one should be angry, it is the client should he discover that the paper has been plagiarized and cannot be submitted in his own name for grading.

I take offense at the reference to writers being slaves. I have never treated my writer as a slave and I never underpay them. I practice a strict 51/49 split with my writers when it comes to the fees charged. I will agree though that an underpaid writer is an unhappy writer. Which is why I take it upon myself to give any of my writers who receives positive reviews from their clients a bonus for their hard work. Offering incentives to writers and actually delivering on those incentives is the best way to get the best work out of your client. Which results in repeat business for the company. Contrary to what the OP said, all academic writing companies seek repeat business as it is harder to sell services to a new client every time. What matters is not that a writer is working on an assignment. What matters is that the writer knows he is being properly compensated for the work he is completing for the client.

There have been several changes to the research arena since this post was first made. One of the major changes is that libraries, where they still exist, have more computer terminals than they do books. That is because libraries as on the verge of becoming obsolete. More up to date information can be found online than in books these days, both of the old, new, and updated kind. In order to prevent their total demise, the public libraries have become homes to free internet access instead. University libraries still try to offer a balance of both the print, microfiche / microform, and electronic media to the students, with the internet still outpacing its counterparts as the default research mode of students. The same holds true for writers. Except in situations where the research requires actual interviews or video presentations. While I do not doubt that students and writers may find themselves at a library at some point, I do not believe that these are often done by the aforementioned parties since everyone has some sort of computer (laptop, mobile phone, etc.) to use for reliable research.

I know of a few writing companies that actually ask the client for a list of writer qualifications once an order is placed. That is because the company normally shoots off the order to the server without any blocks on the type of writer who can view the order. If the client has a specific type of writer skills in mind, those criteria will be manually inputted into the system. The system will then block other writers from seeing the order. Only the writers who suit the qualifications as indicated by the client will have the ability to see the order on the server. By doing so, the client will more than likely end up not only with a good writer, but a writer after his or her own heart. A writer who will be able to accomplish the paper requirements much to the satisfaction of the client. It all boils down to letting the company know about specifics, rather than leaving the writer assignment to chance.

As a repeat business client, the company will be sure to entertain any special requests that you have. Most specially if you have a grievance with a previous writer. Just make sure to mention the writer's ID number every time you place an order with the company so that the client assistant will be aware to not assign your paper to that writer. For companies that follow a first in line basis of writer assignment, if the writer ID comes up it is automatically assigned to that person, unless otherwise requested. However, it would be better if you simply request that the paper be assigned to an ENL writer every time. You see, if the writer you had a problem with leaves the company, that writer id number could be reassigned, in which case a writer would be unduly punished by not being assigned your order, even though he had nothing to do with the previous problems you had with the writer using that number. Why take the chance away from the new writer assigned to that number right? You might end up getting along with him just fine.

If you have the articles and other data on hand for the research aspect of the paper then yes, upload your files for the writers use. The writer will appreciate you more for it. By giving him the required materials, you shorten the time it would have taken for him to find the right sources. If you don't have the complete sources on hand, but have list of sources for him the use, then submit that list to him. Anything that will help him cut the information collection time will be of extreme benefit to the completion of your paper. He will end up spending more time writing your paper and paying attention to the quality of the word instead of focusing most of the time to looking for potential sources for the paper. However, you should give the writer enough leeway to use his own sources (if allowed by the professor's instructions) so that he can boost the quality of information in your paper by combining your sources and his own.

Candidate with ResumeI am not sure where the OP got the idea that there is a resume writing association in existence.

Resume writing is just a part of the services offered by an independent writer who is trying to expand beyond academic writing.

This is a form of writing that is different in many ways from academic writing and can easily be completed by anyone who has a computer.

People don't usually require resume writing since Windows Word has several templates available for anyone to use for that purpose.

However, there is a need to proofread a resume and edit it, depending upon the job requirements of the Human Resources Department.

Resume writing does not require writing in as much as it requires formatting and presentation polishing.

So writers are not directly involved in the creation of a resume or resume writing, but are directly involved in resume formatting.

If the student did not submit his previous essay to Grammarly, then it is not part of the company database. That is why the previous paper did not show up during the plagiarism check. The same goes for Turnitin. Both use the submission system for its database. Which is why students should never take it upon themselves to check for plagiarism. Once it enters the system, it becomes part of the comparison files, which means when the professor runs the paper through, it should come back with a percentage of plagiarism or total plagiarism because the software doesn't detect that the student was the very person who submitted the same paper in the first place. Plagiarism checking is the job of the teacher or professor. The student has no business doing that for them. As long as the paper is properly referenced within the text and source listing, there should not be any plagiarism concerns for the student.

Grammar correction software is an artificial intelligence measure for editing that works only to a certain extent. Nothing will beat a human editor when it comes to spelling and grammar checking. As for thesaurus checking, a dictionary is what one needs because oftentimes, a student will use a term that sounds nice and applicable to the reasoning of the sentence or statement, but turns out to be different in meaning and actual word usage. Rather than using software, this is one time when a student should either use the Writing Center services of their university for proofreading or, actually hiring a professional to proofread the paper. That is the only way that the student can be sure that the editing process of the paper is going to be completed in an accurate manner. Software tends to not recognize certain mistakes in presentation or make incorrect change suggestions to the sentence, paragraph, or punctuation marks. Things an ENL writer will easily spot and correct.

I know some of you will find this funny because my company sometimes, as in extremely few and far between, gets a work request for proofreading AND editing. They place the order based on the understanding that the writer will create a totally new essay for them if they find the essay problematic or lacking in research. I go back to the client and tell them, "My writer will not proof read, and edit your paper to give you a new paper. I am refunding your order immediately. If you should decide to have my writer compose an original paper for you, then get back to us for that service." Students do not always understand what "proofreading" means and how it is accomplished. Most of them just tick that order box because that is what they can afford to pay for. It is up to the company to set the client straight in such instances as proofreading is far cheaper than original paper writing. I get only a handful of those mistaken order placements per semester. I don't accept these orders for my writers when I see that the student is trying to underpay my company and my writers by placing a proofreading order for an original paper.

It is difficult to start getting clients as fully independent writer right off the bat, but it not impossible. It will be an uphill climb for you since the market is over-saturated with both academic writing companies and independent writers. That means you need to be better than just acceptable, you have to be above average as a writer and be able to prove it through your own advertising methods. Setting up a website without having any actual capital to get you started is not the best way to kick off your business. I would suggest using social media to create your online presence, then you have to be willing to submit an electronically protected copy of your college work to any student who shows interest in hiring you. That would be the best way to sell yourself without going into overhead expenses right from the start. If you get lucky, you will get a few jobs, some word of mouth recommendation, then you will be well on your way in the business. It will just take time and a boatload of patience to reach that point when you start from scratch and without any academic company writing experience.

Unsolicited emails are the method by which other academic writing companies try to get a writer assigned to a paper which has been sitting in the server for more than 3 days (depending upon the deadline) and has not been picked up by a writer. They start shopping the paper around through these emails, hoping to find one who will take the paper before the company has to issue a full refund to the client. Bear in mind that at this point, they have already assured the client that the paper has been assigned to a writer, which is why they are hitting the panic button trying to get someone to work on the paper. Most of the time the high level writers decline these orders and it keeps going down the hierarchy, until it reaches the junior or beginner writer level. Don't take paper assignments like that. Such papers are often a writer's nightmare.

If you wish to learn the rudiments of the business, then join a writing company first. Though a bit traumatic for some people, the experience of having an employer helps you get your feet wet and helps you decide if you really want to go into freelance academic writing as a full-time career. I will have to admit that this line of work is not for all people. The income fluctuates with the academic season and the deadlines can be brutal for some writers. If you do not know exactly what you will be facing as a fully independent freelance writer, then you may not survive one writing season. By using an employer first, you not only get someone else to pay for your capital (through salary savings) but you also learn what type of business model you want to use for your own company / self-employed business. Don't just into the business headlong wearing blinders. You need to at least have a simple understanding of what the business entails before you even consider using social media to promote yourself informally as a a freelance academic writer.

General Talk / I'm loving this site. [10]

Actually, there are dolts here who keep on looking for trouble the minute fresh blood shows up, almost like sharks trying to come in for the kill. They don't succeed most of the time because the people they chase after fight back and eventually make them break away from a fight that they were not willing to see to the very end. These are the guys who are still here, trying to be as nasty as possible int he hopes that they can get clients by shaming their competitors. Now if I were a decent student, I would not hire a writer who thinks that maligning and shaming their competitors is the best way to boost their image as a writer and get clients in the process. They are actually the so-called "old guards" at this forum who hate change and apparently, are unable to change as the time dictate in this business. Yes, they will continue to provide entertainment to everyone here for the foolish persons that they are. They truly serve an entertaining purpose here. What would we do without them...

I agree with @Smiley73. There is no way that a client will be assured of getting a native English speaker / writer for his order if he courses his work order through a writing company. There is just no telling how the company will treat the requirements of the student, or if it will be followed at all. That is why a student will always benefit from direct writer hiring in such instances. It allows the student to assess the abilities of the writer and whether or not he believes he can work directly with this writer towards the completion of the paper. There are a number of benefits to hiring a writer directly:

1. The student can assess the knowledge of the writer in relation to the paper requirements;
2. Students can judge if the writer writes at an English level that is comparative to his own;
3. The student will be able to make direct arrangements with the writer regarding his work requirements.

Directly hiring a writer removes the guesswork from the work completion process. So always consider the direct hire method before looking for a writing company.

When it comes to unpaid advertisements, "Word of Mouth" is the best promotional activity for any academic writing company. It represents everything that a website often has to work hard to convince a potential client of, the quality of the work and the reliability of the service. Since students tend to share this sort of information in a discreet manner among the members of their student community, there is a high degree of trust placed in the "word of mouth" referrals. It makes the job of promoting the company easier, specially if the person doing the referring is given a discount coupon or some sort of promotional reward for referring the service. This type of advertising is not something to be frowned upon, it is something that company owners should consider a positive outcome because the company writers have proven how students can trust the service to provide their requirements, without having to question the blurbs on a company website.

Writing Careers / Succeeding as an academic writer? [31]

The most successful writers in this business are those who enjoyed reading volumes of material during their college days and then writing about it for their research or opinion papers. They are the ones who normally end up sticking with the job on a long-term basis. They enjoy the work because it becomes an extension of their college education, often making them highly educated in various fields due to the types of papers they have to write.If one were to think about where the training for this job comes from, it is possible to consider that the foundation is laid out throughout their early grammar education, high school essay writing, and college research paper development. Writers who often get A's during their undergraduate days will most likely excel in this profession. Blogging is also one form of practice for opinion essayists. Basically, a successful academic writer is someone who has always had a passion for writing and a desire to share the knowledge he has with others.

There are two methods by which an academic writer can find himself climbing the ranks within an academic outsourcing company. The first method is by client rewards points and the other, is by achieving a work total quota (either through earned amount or number of orders). Both are simultaneously implemented in most writing companies. However, it is rewards points that often results in the writer being promoted at a faster rate.

The rewards points system indicates that the client is satisfied with the work provided by the writer in terms of grade achievements. If a writer consistently delivers on grade expectations, the clients tend to keep coming back to the same writer and leaving positive feedback. These are added up at the end of every months and, whenever the writer reaches the required rewards points, an automatic promotion is triggered. This is not something that considers QAD assessments. Most of the time, these are AI triggered. The writers who easily get promoted using this method are usually ENL writers.

For the writers who do not often produce high quality jobs, but are consistent in their work for the company, the human factor kicks in. Writer earning reports and client rewards are both considered, with the earning reports being given careful consideration. If the earnings of a writer eventually reach a certain sum, then the promotion is given to the writer by the company. This is more difficult to achieve for most third world writers so it could be a matter of years before he can see his first promotion. In which case he will have quit the company after his first year without a promotion.

The Ukrainian academic outsourcing sites charge the students less because they know that lower prices will entice students to look over their services and consider hiring them. The students tend to allow the dollar sign to influence their decision when it comes to hiring a company or independent writer rather than the quality of the service. These students always think that they can pay less and receive a quality paper in the end. That is the gullibility that the Ukrainian sites rely upon when they offer rock bottom prices with unbelievable work guarantees. They prey on the vulnerability of the students when it comes to trying to conserve their allowances or part-time job salaries when paying for academic writing assistance. Luckily, there are some students who have come to realize this and have tried to open the eyes of their peers to this situation. Essay Scam has also helped tremendously in spreading the word about how Ukrainian Sites = Low Quality Papers.

The OP has completely forgotten that an essay paper is not the same animal as a research paper. If he doesn't clarify the citation requirements when he places the order, he can't expect to get a paper that meets his writing needs. An essay is mostly written as an opinion paper and does not require any citations or references in the presentation unless the teacher or professor requires the student to cite certain sections of the reference material as a part of the opinion consideration and writing process. A student must not expect any citations or references to be included in an essay paper.

A research paper, on the other hand, needs to have citations and references to help indicate the source of information and basis of understanding / opinion making of the research writer. It should not comprise a whole essay paragraph either because only a portion, in support of the writer's opinion needs to be reflected by the citation / reference within the paragraph.

Both essays are academic in requirement. However, the writing approach varies for each type of academic writing. Any student who places an order needs to be conscious of this fact when providing the writing instructions to the writer.

Since academic writing companies now require their writers to register at least a government issued photo ID when they are hired by a writing company, I do not think any person wishing to join the academic writing industry should consider buying an existing writer account. While someone might consider buying a writer account, changing the writer data to your own would be extremely difficult because writers no longer have automatic access to editing certain important information related to their writer account. Only authorized employees of the company are allowed to do that and all requests to change data needs to be accompanied by a photo id for ID file comparison purposes. These are the reasons why I do not believe someone should consider buying a preexisting writer account. Trying to use the profile for yourself these days is next to impossible.

If you want to make a living doing this job, you have to make sure that you have the writing abilities to do so. Don't think that this job is so simple that all you have to do is know how to write. This is a job that requires a dedication to the craft, an eye for excellence, and a willingness to serve others. It also requires the writer to be a voracious reader whose comprehension skills are that of an advanced level. It cannot be of an elementary or high school level. That is why this line of work is better done by someone who has completed at least an undergraduate degree. A writer of a lower academic proficiency will simply drown under the work requirements. The writer will not be able to meet it. So, to answer your question, certain types of writers can make a living doing model academic paper writing. Just because one can write does not mean that they will be successful as an academic writer.

Actually, owning multiple companies is just sound business. It allows the company to offer more services at more affordable prices. The academic writing company can create a premium, affordable, or budget arm of their writing company by creating a new company name that runs on a different business policy than the other. By doing that, the company can corner a larger slice of the market by having students consider the writing services of the writers, at a lower price, all because the company carries a different name. The company owners can also claim a tax loss for an affiliate company which is not doing good business. This then allows the company to pay lower taxes in relation to their business. The multiple websites that represent the different companies must offer the same services because the writers belong to the same writing pool.

Just as with any other company, there are penalties involved when a writer has a work violation. In a regular company, the violations are coming in late, leaving early, taking leave without reason, or intermittent work attendance. For an academic writer, these penalties come in the form of a missed deadline or late submission, refusing to work on a paper after having accepted the paper assignment, being unable to submit a paper and ignoring the calls of client associates to clarify the paper status, or not fulfilling a work quota for a certain writer status. A special penalty is also applied for below quality papers If one is not amenable to such penalties and fines, then one should not be working for an essay writing company, or even consider working for one. I believe the OP falls under this criteria and should not even have considered working in this field. He doesn't have the stomach for it.

General Talk / Teachers know about this site? [19]

@Smiley73 hit the nail on the head. Since this forum is not engaged in the business of academic writing, there is no problem with teachers knowing about this website, if they know about it at all. The function of this site is to help students decide whether they would like to have someone else write their paper for them or, if they think they can write the paper themselves. It isn't difficult to see why this website would even be applauded by academics because the forum tries to protect the students from being conned by writing companies or writers of ill repute. The forum actually helps open the eyes of the student to the reality of outsourced academic writing with all of its benefits and pitfalls.

I am familiar with a teacher who had come across this website in the past. Once he understood how the forum works and what its purpose is, he even began recommending the site to students, because he knew that there was a great chance they would pay for their writing work anyway. He preferred the students enter the world of paid academic writing with their eyes wide open. I was happy to learn that his students opted to write their papers themselves after being exposed to the various discussion topics at this website. While that was a loss of business for me, I am never one to frown upon students who are in school and decide to do the work for themselves in the name of learning.

It is not that there is a rule about writing for multiple companies. The only drawback, which the companies are conscious of, is that the writers tend to serve too many masters to the point where deadlines are often forgotten or missed by the writers. While it is the ability to work for several companies at once that makes freelancing an ideal job for those who don't enjoy being cooped up in an office for at least 8 hours a day, it is the problem of time management and work scheduling that becomes a bone of contention among the writers, the companies they work for, and the students. That is why academic writing companies prefer that writers engage themselves to only one writing company, while working for themselves on the side. Again, working for several companies is frowned upon but cannot be controlled by the company. As long as the writer can properly manage his time and not miss deadlines, then there should not be a problem with any writer engaged by several writing companies simultaneously.

An accrued payment is normally the best way for a writer, who does not wish to pay for transfer charges, to get his salary. By collecting a minimum amount before having the salary transferred, the writer not only lessens his transfer charges, but also receives several payment options along the way. I offer my writers the opportunity to collect their salary then have the collected amount transferred once a month. In this case, I take full charge of the transfer costs because I am able to gain an interest on their salaries that are currently housed in my company account. Therefore, I can afford to shoulder those charges. The other option, is for the writer to get his salary once it reaches a specific amount. Again, this is just logical because transfer fees are lower when a specific amount is transferred. The writer is also assured that he has money to collect whenever he needs it. He can request for a partial or full transfer, depending upon his needs. In this case, the transfer fees are lower as well. The accrual of funds is a win-win situation for both sides.

I know of several essay writing companies that pay a subscription to Copyscape for their plagiarism reviews. The proof of the company they are using and the inefficiency of the program can be found in the plagiarism reports that they submit to their writers as part of the revision requests. These plagiarism reports are taking like the bible by the companies that use them, to the point where they fail to see the flaws in the program and the improper revisions requests that these programs create. The problem with these plagiarism checks is that the companies use them to unfairly penalize their writers. Instead of waiting for a client requested revision, they decide to take it upon themselves to "check" the essay or research and immediately have the writer correct the perceived errors and missing requirements. Since the client has not even seen the paper yet, this request is out of hand and unnecessary. However, the companies continue to use these plagiarism checkers because it helps them pay their writers less, without assuring the students that the paper will be useful in any way because of this plagiarism check practice.

Students looking for discount options when ordering their first paper from a company will definitely end up with an unusable paper. The reason they got the paper so cheaply was because the company wasn't out to offer good service. They simply wanted to make the student part with the money at all costs. Even if it meant pretending to be able to deliver a paper as rates far lower than the reputable academic writing companies out there. As students have managed to learn the hard way, even paying a higher cost for their order will not assure them of getting the perfect paper, more so a cheaper priced paper. The cost of a paper all depends upon the complexity of the topic, the expected grade, the deadline, and the ranking of the writer that a student wishes to have do the work. All of these criteria do not come cheaply. However, payment schemes may be set into place for deserving students or regular clients of a writing company. At least, when a student pays more, he stands to gain a better grade and get a better skilled writer to work on their order.

My company offers a 24 hour full refund policy for such instances. I do not penalize the student for developing a conscience and deciding to do the work on his own. Or, if he thinks he can get a better offer at a different academic writing company. However, I have a caveat to this rule. The paper must not have been assigned to a writer yet within that time frame. If a writer has already been assigned and he has began draft work on the essay, then a 10% refund fee will be charged as payment for the writer's troubles. You should expect a refund in this case. Just don't expect it to be a full refund as the company may have certain refund policies depending upon the number of hours or days that the order has been with the company.

No. There is no need for you to continue revising the paper after the revision period has expired. Most specially if the student is asking you to add more and more information to the paper. That no longer counts as a revision, but can be considered a new paper instead. Which means that as the writer, you have the right to ask the company to seek extra pay from the client for the additional information. That normally stops the abusive client immediately from requesting any extra revision work or additional information inclusion. I have had similar experiences with some clients and I always ask the writer how much extra he would like to be paid for the additional information that needs to be added then I send the extra payment request to the client. If he pays, then the writer goes ahead with the changes, if not, the client is out of luck.

A decent person running a reputable business will not use a freemail account such as gmail. Not even when first starting the business. In order to have a professional image, one must have a domain name related email account. That may be considered a business email account. Although, there are some businesses that use their internet service provided free email account for business purposes.

I have no problem with writers who use ISP provided email accounts because those still show a semblance of professionalism and offers the possibility of a domain related email address in the future.

Personally, I would be weary of writers who use free email addresses because any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get his hands on one. It does not prove the person is running a legitimate business. It is something that should have a student thinking twice about hiring the writer or company. Google itself has been cracking down on businesses that use their free gmail accounts because of the problems arising from business dealings under those addresses. Now, if the writer or company is using a paid gmail business email address, then that is a different story.

It is normally better to buy your essay from an academic outsourcing company that has had a track record of excellence over several years. However, some of these old businesses get sold to new owners. When that happens, the quality of work tends to take a nosedive. Only the name of the company remains the same. The rest of the system goes down the tubes. Which makes them an even riskier bet for academic writing. Only if the student can prove that the company has never changed ownership and that there has never been a writer exodus at that company should then sign up for any agreement with that company.

Social media has changed the way that writers get hired these days, but it still runs a high risk because of the anonymity of the writer. The tendency of certain writers would be to over promise but under deliver.

Therefore, grabbing a writer off of social media poses risks for the user. The best bet is to hire writers whose backgrounds have been checked, double checked, and shows a legacy of excellent work through systems such as those that ES offers. The longer the writer membership or company membership at this site, the more reliable that person or company is.

Writing Careers / academia-research reward points [16]

It sounds to me like @Smiley73 used to work or still works for Academic Research. This is excellent insider information that other writers thinking of signing up with AR should consider. I have managed to absorb a few of the first class writers of this company and the horror stories they tell me about makes me sick. They never did get any cash rewards from the company even though it was promised to them when they signed up. They had already been working for some time before they discovered that the promised cash rewards were replaced with reward credits that help towards the advancement of their writer status. Guess what? The writers prefer the reward credits in cold hard cash. Who doesn't? Since the company seems to also control the rewards credit system, it was really difficult for the writers to earn enough stars to advance to the next level. Why? Advancing the writer's rank means they would have to pay the writer a higher CPP. Something that these greedy people always try to avoid. Based on the nightmare lives of my writers at AR, I learned how to treat them well and deliver on my promises. In exchange, I got their loyalty and excellent writing quality at all times from my writers.

My sources tell me that Academia-Research has been struggling in its business for some time now. They have lost their excellent writers with only the new and junior writers left to fill the void. Unfortunately, the remaining writers are so unskilled, the company had to scale back on its academic writing business. They decided to enter into the Copy Writing business instead. They offer big bucks to the writers per project from what I have heard. The problem is that the writers get paid fantastically for one month, then get penalized for "low quality work" the next month. The "low quality work" is in reference to their previous month's work that they got paid in full for. Basically, the writers get paid every other month under this practice as at least 60 percent of their current salary is "confiscated" as a "fine" for "below average" copy writing submissions. The company is still playing the same con and the writers are still oblivious to it because of the money windfall they get every other month. It is only a matter of time before those writers wise up and jump ship as well. Let's just call Academia Research what it really is, a stinking sinking ship. Writers still connected with that company should get out while they still can.

If the writer is a member of an academic writing company then no, he does not have direct access to the client. He has to go through the whole PM, as supervised by the company route when first making contact with the client. If there is no response after a reasonable amount of time, the writer may ask the client assistant to contact the client. That is where the interaction gets fuzzy, confusing, and downright problematic. For the companies run out of Europe or the third world, the assistants always lose something during the translation of the messages. That causes additional problems on both sides.

An independent writer manages to avoid this problem because he has direct access to the client via several contact methods. Usually the client may be contacted through email, text messaging, messenger, or video calls. When those instruments of communication are present, the client can expect more interaction from the writers directly. The company hired writer offers limited direct interaction between the client and the writer.

Technically, the work is no longer a model paper but an original paper because it incorporates both aspects of research; yours and the writer's. Therefore, the paper ceases to be the original work of the writer.

However, there are still elements of his thoughts, opinions, and writing in the new paper. The better question to ask is "Should I rephrase the parts written by the writer to avoid plagiarism problems?" The answer to that would be yes. It is always best to be cautious in these instances because you never know if the paper has already been submitted to a plagiarism checker or not.

Changing about 60% of the writer's presentation should help you avoid the plagiarism detecting software, if the paper had been submitted previously. This should be done only if you are not confident that the paper will pass an originality test. If you feel that the paper was changed enough to be more representative of your voice and thoughts, then there is no need to worry and you can submit the model paper for a grade.
