Hi there,

I'm a radio-journalist doing a piece for Cam FM (a student radio station in Cambridge, UK) about the essay-writing industry and the prevalence of students (a) buying essays, and (b) working for these sites.

I'm looking for anyone who'd be willing to talk via email/IM/skype and give me their thoughts about the industry, and their experiences. This would all be completely anonymous, may I add. If anyone did want to do a recorded Skype interview though, that would be VERY much appreciated. I should add that we'll honestly be interested in ANY stories you have, there is no angle as such, the show is purely investigative, so if you have had a genuinely fruitful career writing for particular sites, then that is equally interesting to you having been scammed out of several thousand dollars or whatnot.

I've actually had some bad experiences myself writing for some sites a few years back (essaywriters.net[DND*][DND*] scammed me out of 200USD), and I've used this forum a few times before, so I'm fairly familiar with the territory.

I don't have much incentive to offer apart from an opportunity to share your thoughts about a very interesting industry. I can give a lot more detail regarding myself, the show, the radio station etc. on request!

All the best, Matthew from CamFM - EMAIL ME mjv34(at)cam(dot)ac(dot)uk

Hi,

I'm a reporter for the Chronicle of Higher Education and I'm working on a story about custom-written essays. I'd very much like to talk to current and former essay writers to see what their experience has been like. I'd also like to talk to some students who have been able to use custom-written essays.

Here's my e-mail address:

If you wish to remain anonymous, that's fine. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thomas
