Unfortunately Alison, you seem to elevate yourself (team) to a higher standing ground. Looking at your response which I suspect is pre-written it clearly raises doubts on your command of language.

Let me give you specifics and hope that you would follow my example and also provide specifics as to why you declined my application.

Dear Joseph,

Writer ApplicationWe hire writers all over the world and we{ repetition} have many professionals from Kenya in our team who work on a freelance basis{"freelance basis" what else would they be doing?}. Also we { word order "We also"} have evaluated your sample essay and we {repetition} think that it is well written; {always put a space after every punctuation} however, the discussion is too general,{over use of commas} and no clear answer to the central question is given. Moreover, there are instances of confusing wording. Unfortunately, your writing skills do not meet our requirements. That is why we were forced to deny {inappropriate word should be "declined"} your application.

Please do not be discouraged. If you wish {missing comma} you can try applying again, but in no less than a year {very amateur}. We think that it is not possible to significantly improve one's writing skills and knowledge of English in{Wrong preposition} a shorter period of time{elementary wording}.

Thank you for your interest in working with us!

Best regards,

Alison

Writer bay Management

Kindly highlight the so called 'confusing wording'. Given that you have blocked my email, I seriously suspect this is a fraudulent company out to scan innocent freelance writers. I will be posting my thoughts online about your company shortly.

Kind regards.

Joseph

Please read the attached paper as well and let me know what you think about this online company "Writerbay".

Where does Writerbay get their clients from. Surely with their poor English (considering it was a formal reply to a writing job inquiry), how do they manage to get clients - students from US/UK/Australian universities?

The discretion to hire lies with the employer. The fact that you were not hired does not make them a scam. Look for other reputable writing companies to work with.

Surely with their poor English, how do they manage to get clients.

It is now oblivious why they did not hire you.

Writerbay knows that their writers are not worth the pennies they get paid. Which is why they do everything within their power to prevent writer-client interaction. The communications always pass through the middleman, who is not ENL either. This results in problematic paper products and refunds. Their client satisfaction is not rated highly, even by ESL students, which says a lot about their company policy, client satisfaction, and writer abilities.

Writerbay says that they require writers who have college degrees while those with advanced educational levels are given priority since they can handle more complex jobs. This is where I have a problem with their hiring method. They ask that their writers indicate what their field of speciality is based on their college degree, but they do not indicate that the writer needs to focus only on his academic and/or professional training. They still prefer to hire writers who have "multi-expertise" which I believe does a disservice to the student who is looking for a professionally developed paper.

Multi-expertise writers often deliver problematic papers because their actual knowledge of the given assignment is still limited when compared to writers who are really knowledgable and trained in the subject they are writing about. Their writers may not be fake but, I would not be confident in hiring a (to repeat myself) jack of all trades writer when I need an Engineering, Aviation, or Geology paper written (for example).

His / Her knowledge will be limited and will also rely on research based on information he / she finds, without knowing how accurate or relevant the information is to the actual writing assignment. Consider it this way, the fact checker would need to be fact checked by someone more knowledgeable and capable because of multi expertise writer's limited exposure to the complexity of the given topic. That is not what the student is paying for.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.

This is, of course, complete nonsense for several very specific reasons:

1. Professional academic writers who are good at what they do routinely write high-quality projects in many different academic areas. This is the precise definition of our job and those of us who are honest with our clients always indicate our level of confidence with any project before taking it on. Essay companies simply post every paid order on a virtual bulletin board from which all of their writers can select whatever projects they want to write. Every successful professional academic writer is capable of researching, reading, understanding, and writing intelligently about many different academic subjects.

2. Consider that every typical college student takes many courses in academic areas outside of his or her major course of study, yet each of them is fully expected to write projects in all of those areas. Obviously, if some students are capable of writing "A" projects in all of those courses despite never pursuing or receiving degrees in any of those academic areas, so can a good professional academic writer, especially if he was a good student, himself, who already received his own degree(s) and wrote all of his own assignments as a student. If an Engineering or Aviation Science student can write an "A" project in an English or History or Political Science or Business or Philosophy course, so can an experienced professional academic writer. In addition to writing similar projects as a student, the writer has probably written (literally) hundreds of projects in each and every one of those academic areas over many years. Meanwhile, a typical Engineering student might take only one or two English or Philosophy or Business or Political Science courses in his entire academic career. Engineers, in particular, are notorious for being bad writers, generally. In fact, it's not at all uncommon for them to hire me, even for projects within their major courses of study, in addition to projects for their elective courses.

For example, while my own degrees are in History and Psychology and Law, I've written hundreds of projects in each and every one of the fields mentioned above. By the time he is an upperclassman, even an English or Philosophy major is very unlikely to have written more than two-dozen English or Philosophy papers; and he's never written more than one or (maybe) two or three papers on any one piece of English literature or on any one classic work of philosophy, respectively. By contrast, after doing this professionally for 20+ years, I've written about many specific pieces of English literature and about many specific classic works of philosophy dozens and dozens of times, each. Furthermore, every time I write about the same topic, each new essay is likely to be a little better than my previous essays on that same topic. Frankly, whether or not a student is an English or Philosophy major, or just taking elective courses in those areas, his chances of writing as good an essay as mine on any topic assigned to an undergraduate - let alone one that's better than the essay I'd provide on that exact same topic - is very close to zero.

I've mentioned before that I've had more Nursing clients than students in any other major course of study. They're also the clients who generate the most referrals from their coworkers, which I suspect is because most of them are already working professionals and not students competing against one another for grades. I routinely write everything for them from those silly little 150-word class forum posts and responses to their classmates' posts to their major PICO projects, master's theses, and PhD dissertations, and always with great results; and that's despite never having taken a single course in Nursing, myself.

3. Obviously, even the best and most experienced professional academic writer is better in some academic areas than others. That's why anytime a new client inquires about an Engineering or Computer Science project, (for example), my first response, (along with indicating that I always need to see the complete assignment specs for every project), is that it depends on the level of the project. I can write many undergraduate projects in those areas as well as or better than the student himself, and I can handle certain higher-level projects in those areas with high confidence, (especially if the client can provide the source material for it); but there are (obviously) many higher-level projects in those areas that I cannot take on in good conscience, at all. The most important thing is simply that I'm always honest with my clients about my confidence level with every project before taking it on.

1. Essay companies simply post every paid order on a virtual bulletin board from which all of their writers can select whatever projects they want to write.

Why do I spend so much time correcting garbage written by you in your desperate attempt to justify your self inflated ego.
Only writers qualified in the areas in which they have studied can bid on those projects in reputable UK essay companies. Someone with a degree from a British university in History would not be able to write an essay on Nursing, Engineering or Psychology for obvious reasons.

Reputable UK essay companies would not allow a hack like you to write academic essays for them. So stop spouting lies. The essay company will insist on seeing your qualifications so that they can validate the subject(s) before they will take you on their books.

Someone who claims to have three degrees and refuses to specify which NY City Law School they graduated from is indeed suspicious. You must have been a late starter if you spent 12 years gaining all these (Bachelor) degrees unless some were associate ones. You are not specific about the grades or institutions you studied at. You forensically reply to posts in which you are criticised and we are subjected to a War and Peace explanation when you are wasting your time as your reputation has already been shot down in flames and rightly so. Quite frankly your website should be scrutinised for lack of transparency and possible misrepresentation.
