It is good that I am here to give the UK's point of view and I shall continue to make it. You are clearly focused on USA market and didn't mention the word count method which is understandable because you are not based in the UK.

I believe in free speech and I don't think you are a mod unless you tell me different.

@noted

Interesting that you concentrate on the number of pages to calculate costs.

In UK the cost is normally based on the number of words required (plus level and grade). The number of pages is irrelevant. References/bibliography are not part of the word count and provided free of charge. OSCOLA footnotes are often included within the word count although not always.

@FreelanceWriter
I disagree.

@noted

Regarding competency I would not order an essay from any freelance writer who does not have an appropriate qualification in the relevant subject area. You have to ask why reputable essay writing companies will not allow writers to take on assignments outside the sphere of their qualification(s). It is ridiculous for a writer with a degree in Ancient History to write essays on Dentistry.

Life experience gained over many years in one job might enable that person to write on the subject area relevant to that job. But where a writer professes to be competent to write on just about every topic going is another matter and I would avoid such writers.

Similarly I would not recommend a student studying in the UK to use a writer from Brazil, USA or anywhere else where education standards are lower.

@noted
Very true! The legislation criminalises the essay writing companies not the students.

@noted
It doesn't matter if they have offices in England or the website is registered in England since the services they claim to offer do not breach the legislation.

Like you I think it is possible to circumvent the legislation which lots of smaller essay companies are doing since they can't afford to set up an offshore entity.

Regarding such English based companies it seems to me that a student could write a terrible essay of very few words and ask a company to proofread and edit it which is permitted under the law. In practice this would result in an almost complete re-write of the work but would be passed off as editing services. This seems like a massive loophole but would require a test case at some stage.

However larger reputable companies, like UKessays.com are part of Bliss Consultants FZE registered in United Arab Emirates so can carry on advertising essay writing services as English law does not apply to their operation.

The address given is a suite of offices in Liverpool.

Excerpt from PapersbyPhDs.com website: "And this is where our company can help you. We can take some of that workload off your shoulders by providing you first-class academic help, tutoring, editing, proofreading and other educational services. Our highly skilled tutors will help you understand all the aspects of writing a high quality academic paper."

They attempt to comply with the new legislation by avoiding offering "essay writing services" which is whey they are located in England and not overseas.

@FreelanceWriter
We all know there are disreputable essay writing companies but there are also plenty of reputable ones. The important point to grasp is that a reputable UK essay company will only permit a writer to take on a project within their sphere of expertise which is based on their qualification(s).

"Even legit companies typically employ more bad and totally inexperienced writers than good, highly-experienced writers;..." Where is your evidence for such self-serving baseless claims?

@noted
Are you deliberately misunderstanding the point of offshore companies so far as English essay writing companies are concerned. No one is overthinking offshore and neither is it irrelevant.

In order to operate legitimately in England and Wales, essay writing companies must now be based overseas. So offshore company registration is critical in this respect.

Hope you can now grasp this point.

@FreelanceWriter
With very little respect you do spout drivel in an attempt to justify Jack of all trade writers.

I know of a reputable UK essay company which advertises its projects and invites writers to 'bid' for them. A writer with a degree in Politics could express an interest in a Dentistry project but the company would not assign it to that writer. As a writer you can adjust settings so that only projects relevant to your qualifications are visible which saves time trawling through all the projects listed.

The company will assess all bids from writers and assign the project accordingly based on the chosen writer's ratings and his/her suitability for the particular project. It is simply not true to say that a writer can grab any project he chooses. Assignments of projects is not a matter of first come first served basis with reputable UK essay writing companies.

@Cite
Being registered overseas is not necessarily a red flag. As someone else has posted on another thread, it is now illegal to advertise essay writing services in England and Wales. As a result many reputable UK essay companies have been forced to register overseas in order to legally circumvent the legislation and trade legitimately. So for example ukessays is trading name of a company registered in UAE.

@Tutorsindia152
Your English grammar is incorrect. I would hazard a guess that English is not your first language and you are advertising a specific company in breach of the forum rules. Students have several reputable UK essay writing companies to choose from. Students studying for a UK qualification should beware of using a writer without an appropriate UK qualification to write their essays.

@FreelanceWriter

I put a hack in same category as 'jack of all trades' writer.

@FreelanceWriter

Fortunately for the reputation of the UK essay writing industry most students reading this site can recognise a hack from a professional essay writer who writes according to the qualifications they hold.

@Dissertation07
Just make sure your chosen freelance writer concentrates on a subject in which he/she is qualified and has an appropriate qualification. If someone claims to write competently on diverse subjects ranging from Economics to Dentistry give them a wide berth.

@Cite
Imperialessays.co.uk struck off/dissolved 9 July 2013. Plenty of other good UK essay writing companies available to help students wanting a writer qualified and well-versed in UK law.

@noted
This company was dissolved/wound up on July 9th 2013. Much easier to say it like this!

@noted
So now you have changed your opinion and endorse 'jack of all trades master of none' type writers.

I refer you to a comment you made just last month. Although aimed at a particular essay company clearly you do not rate writers who are not experts in their respective subject matter(s). You call them 'jack of all trades'.

"Nobody that hires this company will get a subject matter expert. They may get a writer who is knowledgeable about the topic, but definitely not an expert. No academic writer will have the kind of profession focused training that an "expert" requires. You can bet on that.

What sort of writer will you get then? A jack of all trades, master of none will be more like it. If you get a competent writer at all from the company. Do not pay for a "subject expert" writer because is just a blatant lie meant to part an unsuspecting student from his money."

​May 07, 2022 | #22 " https://essayscam.org/forum/es/customessays-make-huge-mistake-754/#msg85726

Just the one endorsement.
If UK essay companies restrict their writers to subjects in which they have gained a degree (usually 2.1 minimum) they have their legitimate reasons for doing so.

@FreelanceWriter
".........US Law, History, and Psychology. Meanwhile, I've written (literally) thousands of Nursing projects, ~200 UK and Euro Law projects, and hundreds of projects in (each of) Marketing, Education, Communications, Philosophy, and many other project areas; and also dozens of projects in Engineering, Aviation, Zoology, etc. In fact, I just took on a 12K-word dissertation in Dentistry, today".

Students can make up their own mind whether they want to use a writer who announces he can write on just about every topic going. Making unsubstantiated claims is easy and we can all do that on this and other forums.

Your so-called logic misses the point entirely. My analogy is perfectly reasonable.
Writing in an area in which you have no qualification or experience is akin to my reference to a car mechanic and landscape gardener. Your attempt to justify a Jack of all trades and master of none is without merit. The art of writing is important but more crucial is a knowledge and understanding of the topic. If you are not familiar with the subject and not studied it in depth you should not be writing essays.

Your Mercedes versus Toyota analogy is relevant if a writer has a history Degree and chooses to write a history dissertation at Master's level. Although the writer does not have the depth of knowledge required for Master's level, he/she at least has the foundation of relevant knowledge in the subject area. Consider it hill walking at graduate level progressing to mountaineering at Master's level.

Legitimate UK essay companies would rightly restrict you to writing on US Law, History and Psychology.
So students reading this and other posts can decide whether they want to risk using a USA based writer who appears able to write on any topic or a UK one who writes on the topic in which they have a qualification.

@FreelanceWriter
I would never recommend a student orders an essay from a Jack of all trades master of none, freelance writer.

Most degree courses in UK are 3 years long and no self-respecting UK essay company would allow a writer to attempt an essay outside of their sphere of study. Any writer offering to write on subjects they have not studied to degree level and beyond would be highly susceptible to plagiarism. This is why reputable UK essay writing companies would restrict a writer to completing essays in their graduate or postgraduate subjects.

Possible exceptions might exist if someone had wide experience. So for example a nurse who had practised her profession for many years, ideally passing examinations while demonstrating good writing skills might be allowed to write essays on nursing.

Being a good writer, especially in your own opinion, is not sufficient to compensate for a lack of academic studies. .

@TopDogWriter
Reputable UK essay companies will not allow you to write on topics in which you don't have a degree. This makes sense, as a qualification in a subject area demonstrates you have some knowledge and understanding of that particular topic. You cannot be competent to write on a topic which you have not studied to a certain level.

If a freelancer is boasting of writing on topics in which he/she has no qualifications you should be wary. Would you take your car for a service to a landscape gardener?

@freelancer1234
Their site has been updated to show their main office is in UAE. 'UKEssays is a trading name of Business Bliss Consultants FZE, a company registered in United Arab Emirates. Registered office: Creative Tower, Fujairah, PO Box 4422, UAE'.

This is important because it shows they are complying with the new legislation which is only relevant to England and Wales based businesses and bans advertising essay writing services. Therefore they are not affected by such legislation and can legitimately trade. Good news for students wanting essays on law pertaining to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

@noted
Stop scaremongering just because you don't like the company or my comments about non UK writers writing on English law. The company is legitimate, has been established for years and has a good reputation. If you want an essay on English law why would you hire a writer who graduated from a USA university/Law School? It makes no sense.

@noted
I have just accessed this site with Chrome browser. No issues, no alerts. I have written for this company and can assure students it is legitimate. Better to order an essay on English law from this company than from a USA or other foreign based writer. without a qualification gained at a UK university.

@Helpme2022
I find the majority of students are extremely careful not to reveal their university or education establishment so that a writer won't be able to contact them for any reason. Maybe something to consider for the future.
