Essay Services / Freelancewriter Review? [73]

Hello all - have to chime in. Freelance is a competitor of mine, but a professional and friendly one. We often recommend each other if we are overwhelmed or out of our depth. ANY honest writer would rather do this than take on a paper, no mater how lucrative, that would be less than quality.

First, Freelance has no need to scam anyone. He has thousands of happy clients who would write recommendations based on their experiences of high-quality, professional and timely work. I HAVE PERSONALLY READ HIS WORK on many subjects. It is cogent, well thought-out, far less discursive than I am most times, and always to the point and well documented. His claim of 100% plagiarism free is true, and I honestly do not know why there are posts that attack him based on subjective issues.

Often the best surgeons and lawyers may be overly blunt and lack "fuzzy bedside manners," if you want a true professional who will always be honest, then feel very free to contact Charles. In addition, and he will probably send a tomato bomb from NYC to Seattle over this, I recently witnessed a situation that also proves he may live in Mount Crumpet, but clearly has a heart! I, for one, would trust him to write ANYTHING for me, and I have been professionally writing for 20+ years.

Essay Services / Freelancewriter Review? [73]

Hi all, I rarely get into this type of argumentation, but when it is blatantly false, I feel I need to clarify things:

FREELANCE is a professional writer of the highest caliber. I have read his work, and sometimes we refer clients to each other when it is out of our area.

His fees are not high - the adage "you get what you pay for" is true - he is 100% plagiarism free, he has expertise in numerous areas, and he is above all honest.

Yes, he is from New York and often times blunt; but would you not rather have someone honest and blunt about deadlines and expectations than someone with few language skills and no research skills - you are not going out for a drink, you are hiring the best professional possible for a job.

I have NO problem whatsoever referring him to clients, or passing on work when I am overwhelmed or out of my depth in subject matter. Also, if someone has a legitimate issue with Freelance, contact him - don't complain about issues in a forum without adequate back up. It is far better to find win-win solutions to academic problems than to use a forum like this to deface someone.

I have been a professional writer and worked in various levels of academia for 20+ years. In my experience, the Latin term caveat emptor is particularly relevant in the ghostwriting industry. Thankfully, I have networked with a number of professionals who are on this site, as well as a reputable company. However, I have also been a student and know that it is disappointing to pay money for something written in the style of a 6th grader without adequate sourcing, poor grammar, and almost useless.

Writing Help ExperienceHere are some tips when looking for a ghost writer or essay help service:

1. Try to find someone who will write in your native language - yes, British English and American English are different; but avoid sites in which you have no recourse if something goes wrong.

2. As to see a brief sample of someone's work - why would anyone be wary of showing you that they can put a great five-paragraph theme together.

3. Use a site with a guarantee of a rewrite or some form of protection; my clients use PayPal to protect us both.

4. Be specific - remember, your ghost writer has not been in your class, met your professor, or even read every book and handout for the class. Your writer cannot get into your head and form a bias or theme unless you explain what you need.

5. Be realistic - you are likely not to receive a 10 page graduate level paper with 25-30 sources for $100 - it just is not reasonable. Think of your writer as a consumate professional - which they should be - it takes time to research, write, revise.

6. Ask if the service has a plagiarism guarantee - I run all my documents through two checks, and provide the results. If one is honest an up front, then what is there to hide?

7. Remember - it is not advisable to simply take the material you receive and slap a new title page on it. Read the material - use it as your personal research of Cliff's Notes, use it to help you form your ideas - but above all, at least be familiar with what your writer has written.

I hope this helps everyone - writing is tough for many, particularly ESL students; use ghost writers and/or ghost writing services as a professional service. If you do your homework ahead of time, you will find a professional who will treat your project with the importance it needs!

You are absolutely write about checking the services prior to spending money. I always tell clients and anyone who asks, first verify the legitimacy of the site; then find out about the writers and their qualifications. After all, if you are submitting a paper that reflects academic English of a certain degree, it should be written by someone with that level of expertise. Unfortunately, not everyone sees professional writing as something that took years to master, or even that it requires constant diligence. Personally, both the challenge and the fun of ghost writing comes from trying to emulate the particular client's style and level so that the material presented is understandable, logical, and above all, helpful! Never be fearful of asking for refernces; remember - you are the client. Good luck and sorry for your poor experience! Researchpro

I use MS Word, believe it or not, but tweak a bit. If you don't mind being frustrated about such things as passive voice, etc. then Grammarly is great:

The power of the program is that it not only corrects textual errors it gives the writer word suggestions and even has a plagiarism tool.

Good luck!

Essay Services / Fixmypaper.com any good [6]

I did not find a "Contact Us" or "Customer Service" button on the site, or a way to ask questions prior to the order. There is no way of knowing where this site is located - but you could try the order details and submit some questions and ask about references, services, etc.?

There are several things you can do to protect yourself. Yes, ensure that there are appropriate contact numbers and a customer service or follow up line. Ask for references, make sure you find out the level of expertise of the writers - you are the client. Remember, this is a service, you have a choice; don't click the first site that comes up on the search engine; and sometimes, it is better to seek out independent writers who have specific expertise within your subject area.

Essay Services / Do legit websites still exist? [35]

There are, but you must adopt the old caveat emptor mentality. Many are scams from countries outside legal jurisdiction that produce elementary to middle school papers at best. I work for a legitimate site that insists on quality, pricing is fair for the level of research you receive. Look through some sample papers, look at the qualifications of the writers, do a bit of research - you will be glad you did!

Essay Services / Brainmass.com experience? [6]

I write for Brainmass sometimes. It is a bit different than other services; our focus is on tutoring THE QUESTION, not professional writing. The custom question is posted in a forum based on the amount you are willing to pay for it. Then writers bid on taking that question by the number of credits you give. For instance, 1 credit = the writer gets a bit over $2; so you can imagine now, if we are talking about professional and educated writers, that a 1-2 credit question would need to be answered top of mind without a lot of background research. Hope that helps!

I completely understand your issue - but Custom Research Help has a great Customer Service person. Not sure if I can give you her name on this site, but if she is involved, you NEVER need worry - EVER. There are times that an assignment gets too convoluted and overwhelming - that's just reality. But if you need something urgently, contact one of the experts with experience online here - I can give you a few names offline, and I know we will all try to help.

I completely understand about the Western Union issue, too - but Custom Research Help is not there to scam anyone. They are at the whim of their writers, and unfortunately, some people should not be writing professionally ;(

I have been writing for a few professional services for several years. In my experience the KEY is communicating the exact assignment up front, in bullet or numerical format preferably. If this is done, the writer is certainly more able to ascertain your needs and logically (and hopefully completely) fill them. ALL legitimate services will not argue with you if the assignment has not been followed. If your instructions are vague (argue a point about the case study) then you cannot complain about an answer. Many times clients have been upset with me over the amount of "research" I give them - "I just wanted an essay, not a study." But, they failed to explain that up front. In addition, remember, you own the research once you get it - to be used as research. My advice on this one; write one more email to the Customer Service Department explaining that your question was not answered per the instructions - all you want is the correct answer or a partial refund. This seems legitimate and should be handled. Good luck! Researchpro

Help to LearnI do not know about this company (is it their business name or a website address?), but feel you must remember one cogent point: NONE of the companies legitimately want you to submit their work for academic credit. Rather, use as a personalized Cliff's Notes or template as research.

You should then have a better understanding of the topic, a working bibliography, and a way to outline and/or organize your work.

I constantly remind clients that they should never turn my work in - it's dishonest and frankly, plagiarism.

Instead, edit, cut, paste, add, embellish, change, etc. - make it yours, let the honest and legitimate services help you with your academic issues, do not think paying money for writing help is a substitute for doing your coursework.

If you really struggle with your research, ask your professor for help. There are college students who work part-time in university libraries (to earn credit for scholarship etc.) who can assist you with research or writing. Be smart about your choices.
