What's wrong with writing for companies that don't screen writers?

Their customers are more grateful when they get a good writer, and therefore less likely to be annoying. so, if you're a good writer, what's the problem?

There's also the chance that you can cut-and-paste or write in sub-English, and still get paid. so, if you're a bad writer, what's the problem?

I'll tell you WRT's problem-- they're not a good writer or a bad writer-- they're not a writer!

I don't know about EW et al., but AR pays out OK.

Freelance writers listen... this is a thread about academic writers, and who to write for.

Keep your personal vendettas and consumer crusading to other threads, especially if you used to be a writer a long time ago, and don't know what you're talking about anymore.

half of these morons don't even read the things before they hand them in. you expect them to comprehend how to give you accurate instructions, on command? good luck with that.

essaywriters.net will pay you $4 a page, and then fine you $12 a page on it. they are some of the worst scumbags in the business; they are not reasonable, and they will treat you like a slave.

a lot of ex EW writers will still have accounts, because their admin is incompetent as well as unreasonable, and cannot delete anything. good luck buying one.

during the last busy season, academia-research.com had many orders go past their due dates, because of the sheer quantity of orders vs. supply of skilled writers. which, if you are not, they will still hire you.

[Moved from]: attacking the dens of thieves

I propose that writers of companies that scammed them, along with customers who were scammed, join together.

I think that we should go straight to the point, and go to the town headquarters of some of these scam companies. we need people on the ground, we need getaway drivers, and we need people experienced with heavy earth-moving equipment.

speaking of... which SUNY did you go to?

Freelance Writing Center is going to join the ranks of these gangsters? say it ain't so!

I think Helium and similar sites are mostly for aspiring writers and journalists to get feedback-- the money, which is usually pennies, is considered secondary.

ask the company-- they all tend to have slightly different rules about revisions and formatting.

2 weeks or less, and it is going to start to boogie-- imho. it's still really competitive!

Summer in Australia/New Zealand is December, January and February, so this time of year we are pretty busy. That is when I might target the US/UK market for work and vice versa. If you have non-academic clients in commerce, industry and so forth you can level out the peaks and troughs a bit. During the summer here I chase writing units of learning for various courses for TAFE and Unis or exam model answers for the High School matriculation papers. I always take 20 Dec to 26 January off for a vacation and just write for me (fiction) if I feel like it.

Get any reply in quick before Phyleks or one of the other losers leaps in and turns the thread into an insult fest.

any press is good press!

oh, that sucks!

right-- after WB hacked into my AD account, I sent probably 10 emails to everyone I had ever talked to on the boards, asking who WB was. some people were helpful, while other do--s remained silent, waiting to use my appeal for help as a weapon against me. I even found a few colleagues.


still drooling for for my personal info-- you're going to need a bib.

what are you, in middle school?


stalker! I'm not a professor; I'm just a teacher. and I was just making a point. you're really foaming at the mouth, aren't you?


the laughter sounds frightening... like an idiot's!

I would still say yes, they're valid-- but not as valid as a standardized test, and there are too many extraneous variables to guarantee anything. grading is subjective, but what else are they going to use? a lot of schools use alternative assessment, but that can get even more subjective.


no problem. I don't view this forum as a place to get clients.

WB, get help, and please stop being so boring. EW_Writer is right-- are you going to answer the question, or are you just going to be unpleasant to everyone? this is an independent thread; it isn't one of your troll nests... stalker!

that said, when I am being a teacher, and paying close attention to grammar and spelling, I usually grade papers depending on my mood. this can be influenced by such things as the quality of my coffee, the history of my last couple hours, etc.

any essay company that promises grades is lying to its customers.

despite the fact that you are a black hole, I'm going to make sure and let you know when I get my next payout. I just banked, so it should be a month or two... don't let me forget.

do you really think you're going to convince them to shoot themselves in the foot, just because you're in a snit? fat chance. good luck, and до свидания!

I think I see a pattern here:

1. WB fails at logic and reason.

2. WB fails at creativity and originality.

3. WB fails at basic good manners.

4. WB faces defeat.

5. WB tries to get your personal info, to use as leverage against you winning again.

moose and squirrel, they think they are so clever...

hey WB, why don't you admit that you're a self-hating ESL writer? it could be the breakthrough you need. the truth might set you free... out into the sunlight!

"AR does not provide papers to student?"... wtf does that even mean?

I'm very disappointed...

spam is unsolicited email-based advertising, often produced by bots.

this is my experience working at AR: they're good. take it or leave it, but don't call it spam... unless you're willing to prove that you know I'm not a bot, by letting us all know how you get people's personal info.

academia-research.com is good-- their customer service and management styles are not American (sounds Russian), but so what? this certainly does not make them a scam or fraud. their customer service reps speak some English, they may have American writers, and they deliver what you ask for, when you ask for it; that's all that matters to a lot of people. Most students are non-English speakers though.

don't feed the animals!

I got an email saying essaybay was down... I don't work for them...

ESL is a term used for people who live, or are going to live, in English-speaking countries.

if they're not in English-speaking countries, it's EFL.

but anyway, yeah, it's all about cost of living, and also, whether the company screens its writers to see if they can write in English before it hires them (or, in the case of EW, enslaves them).

$2?! I can re-thatch the roof of my hut!

I worked for EW a few years ago. I quit on bad terms, after they fined me 300% on a paper. I don't know if they changed their MO, but they paid me everything they owed me. my advice is to be patient-- don't go off half-cocked; the FBI has better things to do. wait the 60 days.

I started out in this cold, cruel, working-class world as a short order cook. I was 15 years old or so, getting paid minimum wage, under the table, to make brunch.

now I'm an adult with a college degree, and here's essaybrunch. it wants to pay me less to do more.

WRT is an idiot, too.

Researcher doesn't have any writers or customers-- they are all scared away by awful management skills, bottom-of-the-barrel payouts, and a rude, ignorant, arrogant attitude. I'm no fan of WRT, but on this, I think we can agree: it is you, Researcher, who is the idiot.

when I was with EssayWriters.net, I considered opening a second account, in order to just collect orders and sit on them. then, I figured it would be easier to just quit. after I quit, I found out that I did have 2 accounts with them-- under different first names. apparently, I had signed up before, using only my first initial. they never noticed.

your ignorance is annoying. if you have no idea about something, keep your fingers still.

this has got to be a joke...

I don't see what this has to do with your not being able to correctly identify the country with which your website aligns itself.

...unless you are showing me that you know "America" requires no article. it's much less complicated than "the US."

hint, hint...

not cheesy-- absurd! the artist, alone in his/her studio toiling long and hard over... some brat's homework. adding here, taking away there... it has to be perfect. and now, the signature.

wait a minute...

the passionate artist! wake up and smell the coffee.

talk sense!

notice that I am not accusing anyone of fraud--just a ridiculous, glaring, global error.

perhaps I could have been more clear-- I am not one of those posters who will call a company a fraud because of these errors.

I will call it ridiculous, if a website claims to align itself w/ a certain country, mentions that country innumerable times on its page, and does not get the name of the country right.

hi Researcher. I just looked at the website you're trying to spam, and, now that I'm done laughing, I have some questions.

now, let me say first that I'm not like some posters here, who will malign a company, just because of a few grammatical errors on its webpage.

I know that there are legit companies out there, which operate internationally, and have programmers/CS staff who speak pretty horrible English. this doesn't matter, generally, because these people aren't the writers-- mind you, it still scares away a lot of customers and potential writers, and it looks unprofessional.

but Researcher-- this website is a joke! you can't even get the country right.

let me clue you in. most countries, in English, require no article. in other words, you don't have to say, "I'm from a Jamaica," or "I'm from the Uzbekistan." it sounds ridiculous.

however, there are a few exceptions, and if you miss these, you sound equally ridiculous. English is a hard language to master-- there are important exceptions to nearly every rule. it's easy to remember, though, because it's always the definite article.

"I'm from the UK." "I'm from the UAE." "I'm from the US." do you get it now?

fix your webpage-- it's a joke!

btw, if you feel uncomfortable giving a company your ID scan, my advice is to use an expired license, and blank out the license number. they are just looking for your address, anyway.
