Hi! I know this topic is extremely hackneyed, but still, can somebody please post a list of some credible essay writing companies, without making the matter utterly ambigious by resorting to useless arguments. I am a reasonably good writer, who till date worked for a credible essay writing company. The work was interesting and the payments were regular, till I had some nasty arguments with some operators, which made me quit. So please help me!!!
WritersBeware
No. Read the TOU.
I know it WB. But, still members have been liberally leaving such lists around the forum. What wrong will it do, if somebody posts a peer reviewed list to help a brother in arms.

No, they don't. Newbies who break the rules get banned and/or the mods move the violating posts to the trash where they belong.
Still I will be really thankful if some of the forum members could mail to me a list of some credible companies for which they have worked or are working with.

You're probably going to get an inbox full of spam, from scammers trying to push their services by posing as customers. Be wary of any emails you get.
if you want our candor, goldfish, why don't you give the name of the place you quit?
till I had some nasty arguments with some operators, which made me quit.
If they paid you on time and you were happy with them, then why not call back and say you are sorry? Just because you argued with a few operators is allot better then what most writers deal with from companies making nothing more than empty promises. If you worked for them and they never burned you, then I say go back. We all want to know who was the company?
We all want to know who was the company?
I also want to know...........

Sorry, but american writer and Fracturegang both need to leave the business until their English improves:
We all want to know who was the company?
Really?
pheelyks, you are such a snoot!
and that means, a la David Foster Wallace, "Sprachgefhl Necessitates Our Ongoing Tendance," or, if you prefer, "Syntax Nudniks of Our Time."

pheelyks, you are such a snoot!
I know. I've stopped correcting my friends' grammar during conversations (mostly), but I still feel it's warranted here. It's depressing when native English speakers don't know how to use the language; the number of errors you can find in a newspaper is scary. People used to care.
This has nothing to do with my feelings regarding this industry; it's a personal reflex stemming from an obsession with the English language. It might be abnormal and snooty--okay, it IS abnormal and snooty--but I'm happy with it.
Thanks for the "sprachgefl" by the way. That was a new one for me.
Thanks guys!!! I think I have received the advice I needed. I will be going back to that company. You are right.
so where is the list?
So I'm confused... are the people on this site both writers AND people who need papers done? Am I allowed to get advice on here of where I can find more students who need papers written, or is that considered advertising?

A mix of writers and customers, but mostly writers. You can't ask for direct recommendations, but a half hour's look through some threads should be enough for you to get an idea of the most obvious frauds and scam sites.
If a site's not been panned on here, and if it's more than a few months old, that's often a good sign.
What do you all think about this? Boston's leading consumer advocate got me to think he was in need of a paper being written this past weekend and he eventually sent me this before diappearing on me to where I couldn't respond anymore... is this law for real?
PART IV. CRIMES, PUNISHMENTS AND PROCEEDINGSIN CRIMINAL CASES
TITLE I. CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS
CHAPTER 271. CRIMES AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY
Chapter 271: Section 50. Sale of research papers, etc.; taking of examinations for another at educational institutions
Section 50. Whoever, alone or in concert with others, sells to another, or arranges for or assists in such sale for another, a theme, term paper, thesis or other paper or the written results of research, knowing or having reason to know that such theme, term paper, thesis or other paper or research results or substantial material therefrom will be submitted or used by some other person for academic credit and represented as the original work of such person at an educational institution in the commonwealth or elsewhere without proper attribution as to source, or whoever takes an examination for another at any educational institution in the commonwealth, shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or both.
Oh, and I'm not trying to scare the pants off of you all with this... you guys already saw who I am and all that, so just want to make sure you know I'm not up to no good here. I checked out this law online, and the only place I found it was in the University of Massachussetts' list of Mass laws listed on a school guideline sheet.
Matt
Hi has anyone used oxbridge essays. I would like some help with some masters work. Do they deliver quality, they are so expensive?
That is deep, Matt! It is something to think about.
WritersBeware
Matt, why are you beating a dead horse? I've already addressed that Massachusetts law and similar laws from other states. Legitimate companies engage in no illegality whatsoever.
knowing or having reason to know that such theme, term paper, thesis or other paper or research results or substantial material therefrom will be submitted or used by some other person for academic credit and represented as the original work of such person at an educational institution in the commonwealth or elsewhere without proper attribution as to source
So, why do you order with all those websites? You use them at first, and then you write something about their services to be illegal. This is rediculous!!!!!!!!!
Kitty, Mat doesn't order from these sites. He writes for them. He was showing us something that his client sent him.
everyone is overlooking the crucial loophole used by all "research" companies to go right through that law-- just stamp "intended for research purposes only," on the paper, or go on for a bit about "we are providing a model, don't hand this in (wink)," and everything is cool. the international mills here on the still-relatively wild and woolly web don't have to bother, but companies that have established a physical presence in an advanced industrialized country, know this loophole well.
and if they don't-- $100 fine, really? that's less than for littering.
everyone is overlooking the crucial loophole
Ah! The infamous legal loophole! Maybe I should get into this gig. It looks like good money. I see a lot of the "dos" and "don'ts" in this forum; so if I get into this, I'll just do the "dos" and don't the "don'ts". Possibilities, possibilities...
the down side is that it's a completely saturated market-- it's like trying to enter the soft-drink or quick-service restaurant industry. you instantly have a zillion competitors who have been trying to scrape a niche longer than you have. and your average client is going to be a total *******, and you're going to have to deal with them, and their ilk, on the daily.
that's why I stay freelance. that, and the fact that I'm lazy...
I don't know, buddy. New students every year from different countries -- all needing English essays, as "samples", of course (wink). I'd say it's far from being saturated. Anyways, that's just me and my greedy mind thinking.
that's why I stay freelance. that, and the fact that I'm lazy...
I must admit, that's a good enough reason for me NOT to get into this -- the "lazy" part, I mean. LOL!
Unlawful or not, ethical or not, writing essays for other people will end up in a scenario where countries will be ruled by people who cannot write a single essay for themselves. And what will happen to valid and competent writers? They will still remain at the bottom, writing for a pay that's not even a 1/100 of 1% of his mind's worth and catching fishes for other people who were never taught how to fish.
Writers should strive hard to make writing a credit-worthy profession that values owning knowledge in general, and consequently, the writer's own knowledge.
Here's an idea; how about showing them where the nets lay, provide them manuals on fish-catching (e.g. The Idiot's Guide to Writ -er- fishing) and then watch them tow with their nets the hundred squiggling fishes into their boat. And if they tumble and fall off the boats, at least we'd have something to laugh over with.
oh, I see )))
Divonspear: The problem is that if you don't have arms, it's hard to catch fish. Some people find it so immensely difficult to write that they don't know how to bridge the gap between the prompt and the assignment. I've established good contacts with a few long-term customers, and I see them improve over time.
Whatever you do, stay away from buying essays from any of the companies trading under allanswers.
Here is a list of their portfolio: allanswers.co.uk/about/portfolio.php
It is a SCAM!!!!
The essay they provide is plagiarized from wikipedia and other non-academic resources.
Scam Buster: No one asked. You seem to be treading awfully close to spam in terms of making non-relevant comments outside of your thread about AllAnswers.
the number of errors you can find in a newspaper is scary. People used to care.
I blame social media for the demise of the English language. Communication used to require an actual thought process and knowing how to speak / write clearly in order to be understood. Communication used to require effort. Now, I feel like I am constantly talking to a toddler, regardless of the actual age of the person. If you can only speak through SMS and emiticons, then a formal education is wasted on you.
I do not believe that a truly competent and business-minded academic writer needs to always look for an employer. Our business is the type that allows us to be our own boss. All we have to do is know how to manage our branding, promotion, and publicity in an every changing digital world. While there are other companies out there that are credible and reliable, the legitimate ones even know how to treat the writers properly, why would you want to lose a part of your earnings to the middle-man when you can keep all the profits for yourself? There are several independent writers here who started out with writing companies but eventually ventured out on their own, quite successfully. The companies are only meant to be our training wheels. It is not meant to be our permanent crutch in the business.

When I started writing for companies in 2003, I didn't really give much thought to working for myself, mainly, because I just didn't think it was a realistic goal. I was fairly content to work (mostly) for companies even though they take a substantial middleman's cut, partly because they handle most of the customer-service tasks and advertising for new customers. It wasn't until my reputation grew and my private clientele started expanding that I realized it was actually quite possible for me to work entirely independently. The final straw that motivated me to make the transition to writing exclusively on my own was when the main company for which I'd been writing actually lowered their existing payout for most projects about 10 years ago, instead of raising it. They did this indirectly by re-categorizing projects; but the result was that almost all of the same types of projects that I'd been writing for them since 2003 paid less per page than before.
The more I read about academic writing and the more I use it, the more I think that I must improve my writing skills.

That is wonderful to hear. It makes me happy to know that ES has, through its work, inspired you to better yourself as both a learner and a writer. Why? The best way to avoid getting scammed is to do the work yourself. Hiring a writer only as a desperate option in some cases is what leads to problems for the student. Do not wait for desperate times to set in before working on the paper to avoid getting scammed.
Always remember that you do not have to write the essay, opinion paper, or research paper perfectly. It is the effort of the student to write the paper based on what he has learned from personal research and opinions based on observations that is rewarded with a grade, not the perfection with which the paper was written.
The goal is to learn, not to produce the perfect paper for a guaranteed grade. Which is what scam writers promise. When it comes to writing papers, there are no right or wrong answers. Just misunderstood instructions by ESL writers.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.
