Hey. First post here. I noticed that most of these posts are pretty negative. Have any writers here had any good experiences writing for any essay sites? Any customers have any positive experiences with a company?

Are most people here already working for essay writing companies?

Term Paper Writers is one of about a half dozen sites that I've been writing for since 2003 or 2004. I've never had a problem getting paid; I stand behind the quality of my work; and I have no stake or interest in E.T. or any other site except as an independent contractor. Born, raised, and lived all my life in NYC and formal degrees in History/Psychology undergrad and Law (JD) postgrad. If necessary, my identity can be verified easily because my ID is the same there as on here and specific writers can be requested anytime. Customer service sometimes lags a bit in the industry because of the volume of work but there's nothing fraudulent about E.T. whatsoever. The company is located in NJ.

W.N., if you use the company, their prices are listed. I don't think we're allowed to solicit private clients on this forum, but I am easily reachable via aol and the worst detective in the history of the universe should be easily able to figure out how to contact me directly (^_-).

Never dealt with them. The services I know for a fact are totally legit are the following:

MadPapers
Academon
A+Papers
GeniusPapers

It's always hit or miss as far as what writer takes your paper off the board unless you request someone whose previous work you're happy with, but that's the nature of the business in general. In the interest of full disclosure, I do write for all of them but I have absolutely no other stake in or relationship with any of them except as an independent contractor who makes an honest living writing papers for them.

I didn't even realize it was that big an issue until I stumbled onto this site. Not sure how a fraudulent business model would even work when that means 100% of business is new first-time/last-time customers.

I don't do Economics, but purely from a writing perspective, I gotta say that's a pretty poorly written paper. The first sentence alone contains both inapprorpiate language for an academic paper ("have a look"??) as well as an obvious grammatical problem (it's "that affect," not "which affect" in that instance).

However, the bad sentence award of the day goes to this gem:
Unemployment rate basically depends on many other factors like, there can be a slowdown in the rate of growth of labor supply, which can be directly responsibe for the unemployment rate to come down, if there is not a pick up in demand for labor.

At least 7 specific problems in that sentence alone.

Honorable mention to this runner up:
"This gives rise to demand, which is the sum total of domestic plus external demand, which in turn gives rise to inflationary pressure resulting in inflation, another important point shown, which deserves a mention is the relationship between the exchange rate and import prices, or the price paid for imports."

Google isn't an appropriate academic source either, much less Google book search.

The writer has no clue when commas are (and aren't) required and most probably isn't even a native English speaker; there's not a chance in hell that was written by a Brit.

Please scan the hard copy showing the profesor's comments...probably needed to go to a second red pen.

Thanks, WB.

Venus, my only point was that Brits generally have much better grammar than American native speakers. That lousy paper is written in English replete with grammatical mistakes that nobody who learned English in the UK would ever make. Last I checked, "Brits" includes individuals of all races and ethnicities, all of whom would be equally insulted by any inference that the posted paper was written by them.

(*number* of errors)

(^_-)

W.B., I think you're reacting to good natured ball busting as though it were a personal attack. I have no reason to attack you and apologize if it came across that way, ok?

That said, the problem had nothing to do with gluttonous, but if you really want to be nitpicky about it, "gluttonous" does imply the taking, hoarding, or the consumption of something. A large number of grammar problems isn't really something one would characterize as "gluttony," you know?

The original comment was simply a reminder (on a thread discussing grammar) that amount only applies to things incapable of being counted individually, such as money, water, food, pride, etc. For anything capable of being counted individually, such as dollars, water bottles, hot dogs, mistakes, or good natured jokes, it's always number, not amount.

(Still) no offense intended though.

Listen WB, I was not trying to embarass you by mentioning your own grammar error in a post where you were criticizing someone else's grammar. But you're now embarassing yourself by making up these convoluted excuses instead of simply accepting that you used the wrong word. MISTAKES are capable of being counted individually. It doesn't matter whether or not their exact number is actually KNOWN. Just the same as you would refer to a huge sack of copper pennies as containing a large NUMBER of coins but a large AMOUNT of copper.

Same goes with "gluttonous": it makes no more sense to refer to a "gluttonous number of mistakes" than to a "gluttonous amount of rain."

It's no big deal. Everybody makes mistakes occasionally, even you.

OK, but you still owe all of us that portion of our lives back that we wasted ever since you couldn't just type the words "Oops...my bad...number of errors...LOL" after a friendly attempt at humor.

I've been writing for Personal Term Paper since 2003. It's a totally legit company located in Jersey. You know nothing about the actual truth of that isolated complaint. They provide approximately 12,000 papers every month and any legitimate customer complaints generate a rewrite notice to writers.

Occasionally, you get ridiculous complaints like customers who submit their papers for academic credit (which the sales contract prohibits) and then request "rewrites" 2 weeks later based on their instructors' comments.

After writing a few thousand papers, I've collected dozens of loyal repeat customers who ask for me in all their orders. In that time, I've also had a handful of idiots threaten to sue (or whatever) because they wanted papers rewritten for being "too good" which isn't a valid reason for a rewrite. One time, a kid make all sorts of ridiculous requests for stuff he never had in his original order and when his request was refused, he accused me of "plagiarizing" a simple paper that I wrote about O.J. Simpson that was 100% off the top of my head for which the only thing I even went on-line to look up at all was the correct spelling of "Bruno Magli" shoes.

I've also had complaints that all my sources were "from New York" based on the fact that most book publishers are in NYC; and another time, a customer angrily demanded to know why I "left out" the book title "written by Ibid" in the Bibliography (I'm not kidding).

In my experience, most customers are very appreciative, but like any other business, sometimes complete retards order papers and they get very angry when they're told that they can't hold us responsible for their silly mistakes. I have no idea what happened to that one customer, but I guarantee that nobody just took his payment and then never wrote the paper. He's either angry and retaliating over something else or his essay went to his spam folder or something like that. More likely, his paper was never taken off the board by any writer and he never checked his credit card statement the next month to see that his prepayment was refunded in full. (If nobody takes your paper, that's what happens, because they're charged at the time they place the order.)

I think it's irresponsible to start calling an entire company a fraudulent enterprise based on a single unsubstantiated complaint like that whose veracity you know nothing about. If anybody REALLY wants to test out Personal Term Paper Writer, just order a single page paper and request Freelance Writer in your order. I can't refute the specific complaint you linked, but I can certainly prove that if you order a paper from them, you'll receive your paper by its due date. This isn't a solicitation, either; I don't really need that single-page order.

I also write for MP. As I said about ******, if you think they're a fraud, you can also request me for a paper from them and you'll get your paper exactly as ordered. Even if it's out of my academic areas, someone else will write it after I notify the company that I'm declining the request for me.

For the third time, order a 1-pg paper from either of those places at their lowest rate and ask for me. You'll get your paper.

It would be easier for you to just ask whether I handle Law, or Psychology, or Nursing papers (etc.) if you're looking to take me up on my test of ****** than for me to type out every single subject I write, wouldn't it? I do many different subjects.

[What happened to the Edit function? Is it only available within a certain amount of time after your original posts?]

If you have access to aol, most of my areas are listed there in my profile, but I handle more than a dozen different academic areas and I don't take any jobs if I'm not completely confident in my ability to provide a high quality paper.

Nobody here knows anything about me except for what I've "claimed" since registering. And I haven't claimed ANYTHING about the quality of my writing unless mentioning that I cover quite a few areas and have many loyal customers constitutes "claiming" something about my writing.

I have said only that I have been writing for several sites mentioned here and that they are all totally legitimate enterprises that deliver whatever essays their websites "claim" to deliver. A few people (other than deluca, whose work I declined his morning) have hired me from here and they will eventually be able to vouch for my work.

I guess I'm also "claiming" not to be a fraud, since frauds don't turn down any prepaid work, especially from students located abroad.

I just explained several reasons that customers occasionally get so mad they retaliate by filing false charges. Why would you assume that a single nasty five-year-old complaint is necessarily valid, especially against a company that provided about 70,000 papers during that same time period? Wouldn't you expect more than ONE complaint if the company were a scam? Isn't it much more LIKELY that it's from a single customer who had a gripe or was just too stupid to check his credit card account for the refund from a paper that was never actually charged because no writer ever took it off the writers' board?

How do you explain the lack of complaints from the OTHER 69,999 customers?

If you're so sure that Term Paper Writers, quick papers, and advanced dissertations are all fraudulent, I already told you how to test out your theory very easily: cough up the lousy $20 or so for a 1-pg paper from any of them and see what happens. If you also want to test me in particular, just request me on any of those sites.

Someone has a truly "gluttonous" "amount" of self delusions.


Do "YOU" honestly think that a SINGLE person reading that nonsense actually believes that it's correct to say "amount of errors" instead of "number" of errors just because "YOU" didn't count the number of errors you referenced?

The only things you "proved" are: (1) you're an exremely pompous and insecure person who takes offense that anybody would even "dare" to suggest that maybe you're not quite the grammarian you think you are, and (2) there are absolutely no limits to the silliness of the self-justifying arguments you will pull outta your ass to avoid admitting you're totally wrong even when it's completely obvious to any objective person that you are.

Those are your "personal circumstances."

You're truly an idiot.

All I've done on this site with respect to my employers is DEFEND their businesses as being 100% legit. I'm allowed to cultivate any "amount" of private clients I wish from ANYWHERE I wish except directly on any of the sites I work for. And if my employers visit this forum, they already know I'm here and that I have no reason to hide that, or anything I've said here.

Please, by all means, explain again why it's not incorrect for "YOU" to say "amount of errors" instead of number of errors. Is it also correct for "YOU" to say "amount of pennies" and "number of copper"? I'll try my best to "COMPREHEND" your nonsense this time.


You're the one who brought my nose back into this with your references to mistakes of mine you think you "proved" after I pointed out that someone whose own grammar isn't so great shouldn't be such a critic of others'.

This was an argument about GRAMMAR you dope, not about anybody's "business." You'e a vindictive little putz who actually threatened to try to ruin someone's livelihood to retaliate for being embarassed over your less than perfect grammar and word usage. Your obvious delusions of grandeur are evident in the way you always capitalize "ME" and "MY" in your posts, which speaks volumes about you as well.

Exactly. Actually, one of my employers already thanked me for my attempts to defend their company against some of the untruths posted about them on here and if I had anything to hide from them, I wouldn't be using the same name on here as on their site. They have absolutely no issue with our finding our own clients anywhere we want as long as they're not already their customers, nor do they seem to have any issue with my publicly disclosing that I am one of their writers. They did, however, ask me to leave WB alone, so I'll have to respect that request.

I'm sorry I rejected your project. Nothing personal. "Frauds" don't ever reject prepaid work.

Anybody in doubt about those sites can simply place a test order for a single page paper and report the results right here for everybody.

If one of the purposes of this site is to find reputable essay companies, you can test out any of the ones I've mentioned and then post your results right here for everyone. If you also want to test me, ask for me as your writer. Swat2002 can already attest to my reliability in freelance work as well. Just go nuts and risk the lousy $20...it's worth the price of not wasting more of your lives arguing endlessly about where to find quality essay writing.

Yes. Every customer for whom I've written through the company for the last 4 or 5 years. Need first-hand proof? Order a 1-pg paper at their cheapest rate and see what happens. You'll get your paper exactly as ordered and it will pass any plagiarism test you use.

Sorry EW, I have no idea whether your location is an issue. Send them your resume and some samples and see what they say.

I don't know anything about foreign currency, but they send us a paper check on or about the last day of every month. In December, we usually get 2 checks about the 15th and 31st.

There's no option on the writer's screen for making any changes to your account or about payment types and I don't know whether or not there are other payment options when you first sign up.

You just get a bulletin board-type of screen displaying all available orders w/details and if you want to write one you select it off the board. You get an auto e-mail confirming the order/details/due date/etc. After you upload the paper to the system, it credits your total for the month. Same basic story for similar academic paper services.

No problem, but I'm an atheist =)

Totally legit company. Write whatever papers you want and get a check every month. 1099 at year's end. Writers always get paid; customers always get their money's worth for whatever they order. No problems as long as your writing is good.

MRE, why do you say ********* is a fraud? I've been writing for them for 4 years and my clients are very happy. You can test the site out anytime at very little risk by simply ordering a single page essay to see what you get for your money.

Tell me your beef with ET*. Better yet, just put your money where your mouth is and order a paper from them...ask for me as your writer and then let everybody here know what happens.

Kaz, are you the 20-pg dexmedetomidine paper? That's probably out of my depth but I do plenty of other medical issues...more ethics/legal/historical/policy/nursing stuff than syntheses of technical research articles. I used to write fulltime for HHS-OIG.

Most essay sites give you 250-275 words/pg. Some go as high as 300, but we writers don't really count words as we write: we write a standard double-spaced page without skipping any lines, which usually comes out to about 25 lines of text per page. My papers sometimes go a little longer than the pages ordered because it can take more time to tie things up in exactly the number of pages ordered than to just finish a last paragraph on the next page About once a year I get a request for an additional 50 words or whatever because the customer actually counted them but nobody ever asks about paying us extra when it goes over.

There's not much difference between HS senior level and college freshman, but when in doubt, go with the higher one.

Hope that helps.

Most reputable companies also include all the info about how many words/pg they provide right in their website details. Specifying that you want more than that is a waste of your time just like the orders I see sometimes where the student asks for "5 single spaced pages" even though the sites clearly say that they provide double spaced pages. If I take those orders I always ask the customer whether they want to pay for the extra pages and they almost always don't, because it's simply an attempt to get twice as much work for the money by "specifying" things that contradict the stated policies. Maybe once out of 10 times they thank me for the alert and actually pay for the additional work; the rest of the time, they were just trying to "specify" a 50% discount for themselves.

Also, you don't want to be obnoxious in your specifications: I sometimes see orders for perfectly good subjects that no writer ever takes off the board because the order specifies exactly how many sentences per paragraph and exactly how many paragraphs per page, and exactly how many citations per paragraph, and exactly how many quotes, etc. We do this for a living; you're placing an order because you aren't that good at writing; so, just let us write it.

If you're such an expert at outlining papers, why would you need to pay anybody else to provide a model paper? Do you tell your car mechanic how many turns you want on each screw or do you just ask him to fix your leak? You can add all the detailed specs you want to, but if you go crazy with that, don't be too surprised when no writer wants to bother with your paper and you just get a refund and no paper, especially during the busy season.

Perfect example of what NOT to do if you want your order to be taken ASAP by an experienced writer who gets plenty of work and doesn't need to spend twice as much time writing a paper because of your specs, not to mention dealing with the inevitable headache of a rewrite request because it was impossible to fulfill every one of your specs within the number of pages ordered. Chances are, if someone takes this order it's not a writer who does this fulltime, but someone who writes fewer papers just to supplement his or her income. This is a very simple 4-pg paper, in one of my top specialty areas no less, but I ain't takin' it because of all this:

"14 Paragraphs or more

PARAGRAPH 1- Seven or more sentences to get the audience's attention and strongly state my position on the issue.
PARAGRAPH 2- Acknowledge that there are arguments in opposition and in three or more sentences, name those counter-arguments.
PARAGRAPHS 3,4,5- Describe the argument named in paragraph 2, in three well-developed paragraphs.
PARAGRAPH 6- Transition paragraph, state that although the counter-arguments have some strengths, they also have weaknesses.
PARAGRAPHS 7,8,9- In these paragraphs point out the weaknesses in the counter-arguments you describe in paragraphs 3, 4, and 5.
PARAGRAPH 10- Transition paragraph describing in three or more sentences, your arguments.
PARAGRAPHS 11,12,13- In these three paragraphs describe and support each of your arguments.
PARAGRAPH 14- In at least five sentences close the paper."

I don't need any help from a college freshman organizing a simple 4-pg paper and if he/she knew how to write the paper, it wouldn't have to be ordered from an essay site. I don't think it's even possible to comply with all those specs without exceeding the pages ordered. Seven sentences in the introductory paragraph, for example, will make it virtually impossible to meet all the other specs in 4 pgs unless your sentences are constructed at a grade-school level.

I didn't think so only because all the pronouns are first-person. Usually if there are specs from the instructor, they just paste them without changing the voice. In that case, the only problem is that those specs require more than the # of pages ordered.

Because of that, I can't just take the paper...I gotta first bother the company to contact the cutomer and ask about authorizing deviating from the specs or adding a few pages to the order.

I'd also like to recommend a useful website: TranslateMyPigeonEnglishIntoTheEnglishLanguage dot com

What was your paper about? If you didn't get a paper, it simply means no writer ever took your order, in which case, you'll get a full refund of whatever you prepaid. If you placed an order, you have a 5-digit order # (beginning with a 9). Just give it to me so I can check the board to see if it's still up. Of course, if you're full of it and just making all this up, you'll never provide that 5-digit # even though there's not a single conceivable reason you wouldn't give me the number if any of this is true. I watch that board constantly, so even if it's gone, chances are I'll recognize the topic if you paraphrase it here.

Not necessarily; I do it routinely.

You'll get your essay on time unless no writer ever takes it off the board; in that case, you'll just get a full refund on your next credit card cycle, like any other legit business. Your only risk is not finding out that no writer ever took your order within that time frame. As with other legit sites, the exact quality of the paper depends on who takes your order, but I don't think they use any bad writers. We all had to submit samples of our writing to the company initially and this business relies on satisfied repeat customers.

I'm not clear why you'd have to disclose any of your personal information when ordering an essay. As long as you provide a working e-mail address and the necessary information to submit payment, you can maintain your privacy. Just use a friend or relative's credit card or paypal account if you're that concerned about it.

Essays are supposed to be used strictly as models and referenced sources. If the student chooses to use them differently, we have no way of knowing that but if you're actually stupid enough to ask for a "rewrite" based on your professor's comments or because you say you didn't get an "A," then you will be told that we do not continue to work on essays that have been submitted for credit in violation of our explicit terms of use. Otherwise, the issue never comes up because all the legit companies are in business to earn repeat customers, not to rip off first-time/last time customers.
