Hello everybody.
I'm quite new to this and have a question:
Are there any sites which let writers and customers come up with an individual price (similar to Elance or Guru)?
For example in my case I would not mind if a writer's English is not that perfect since I will rewrite it anyways so the essay is written "in my own words".

Any ideas on that?

most companies exist to act as a middleman between writers and clients, and, as such, will not let you make a deal with the writer directly. I have heard of a few exceptions, but they are rare.

Every company tries to take majority of the profit, so determining which company is the best is usually a very tricky issue.

I would not recommend that you try to get a job as an affiliate writer for any academic outsourcing company as those tend to treat their freelance writers like slaves. Before anybody makes a snide comment and tells me to STFU, I want you to know that I am referring to the scam Ukrainian and Asian academic outsourcing companies and not the legitimate or seemingly legitimate US/UK/ Australia based companies. The legal companies can be counted on one hand anyway. All other companies are a scam. As an independent writer, you are better off trying to get jobs over at the freelancing job sites. Sure it is more difficult to get jobs there because of the bidding system. However, losing the middle man, means that you deal directly with the client, you will be treated with respect, and your income will not be unfairly deducted for made up "penalties and fines", which the scam companies always do in order to keep more money for themselves. Strike out on your own and advertise your services here through the EssayDirectory, EssayChat, writers, services, and EssayBrand sections instead. The students who come here to seek out reliable writers often refer to those listings since those writers are meticulously investigated before being approved for advertising at this forum. No scams will ever be listed here.

@Smiley73 I honestly don't think that you are giving the other ESL writing companies a good review here. While it is true that they hire 3rd world writers, it doesn't mean that they do so with an evil intent. Maybe the writers have a tendnecy to take on projects beyond their actual expertise. That is not the company's fault. The writer was hired based on the results of an application that told them the writer has potential when it comes to academic writing.

Who are you to judge whether or not a writer will be successful at a particular writing company or not? Do you know the people who run these companies on a personal basis? What makes you believe that they are all slave drivers? I think you need to reassess your point of view. Consider that these companies offer these struggling 3rd world writers a chance to earn an income so that they can survive and you will see how mistaken you are. If anything, the problem is that the writer's desire to earn an income pushes him to do work that he knows he is not capable of completing in a proper manner and that, is not the company's fault.

You could hire a writer directly at this forum if all you want is a model paper. Any writer here can do a better job than a company affiliated writer, who will most likely be an ESL writer. You stand to gain more benefits from hiring an independent writer here for your purpose. You can always rewrite the paper, but wouldn't it be better if you rewrote a paper that is already perfect in its original form? You would be able to revise the content knowing that the original source was already perfect to begin with. So, you won't be able to mess up the paper too much during the rephrasing of the paper.

I highly doubt that many students willing to pay for a good freelance writer are expecting to have to do any rewriting of the work they receive. That's something that's probably necessary only when they order from cheaper inexperienced (and plain old bad) writers and from many companies that employ inexperienced and/or ESL writers. The whole point of hiring a really good NES writer is for the piece of mind of knowing that they will receive a high-quality piece of work that requires no rewriting.

You can actually use the search function of this forum, or any of the sanctioned endorsement sections such as essay directory and essay chat, to reach out to independent writers singed up at this forum. They would be your best bet when it comes to negotiating individual prices.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.

Agreed. To do so effectively, just click the user name of any writer who is active in any thread, and then click on View All Posts/Threads to review that person's entire posting history.
