    WHAT YOU NEED: You've got the story, you'd just like some help telling it. You've got the product, but you need the creative copy and content marketing that will spread the word. You've got the grades, but will your personal statement get you into an Ivy League school? WHO I AM: I'm a Brooklyn-based writer and editor with over eight years of experience in journalism, editing, and writing both creative and promotional. As a student at the University of Southern California (USC), I studied Print & Digital Journalism for two years, during which time I contributed to numerous student and independent publications as a writer and editor. I switched majors my sophomore year and graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Narrative Studies, an interdisciplinary writing and literature degree. Since 2015, I have operated a peer-to-peer editing service called Run The Jules, focusing mostly on remote editing for academic essays, college applications and medical/law school applications. My students have gained entry to prestigious institutions such as Brown University, UCLA, LMU, USC Keck Medical School, and Harvard Law School. I currently serve as the copy editor for monthly trade journal mg Magazine and a staff copywriter for 1o8 Agency, where I write blog posts, white papers and web copy for businesses in a variety of niches, from higher education to quantum computing. For three years, I served as Head Writer and Copy Editor for Lafayette Social, a Bay Area-based publication with a circulation of about 10,000. In addition to penning three of the magazine's feature stories each month, I edited and proofread the entire magazine from rough draft to final proof, ensuring that our content was consistent and professional. When I'm not editing, I work in music licensing and enjoy camping, going to concerts, and playing guitar. As a graduate of the Americorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), I value service to my community and spent years volunteering with food security and gardening-oriented nonprofits around the LA area. WHAT I OFFER: • proofreading/copy editing (digital content, blogs, academic writing and business writing) • content creation for blogs, online publications and marketing campaigns • editing and advising on college and graduate school application essays, cover letters, grants and scholarship essays • press releases, creative advertising copy, social media copy, promotional content • quick turnaround, reliable communication, constructive feedback Life is busy, and writing isn't easy. Let me polish your content, sell your ideas, and bring your stories to life. Cheers, Jules

    I'm Sam, a professional writer and MSc graduate. I have 7+ years of experience writing effective, high-performing content across numerous industries, sectors, topics and niches. I've maintained an excellent track record with new and ongoing clients, some of whom I've worked with successfully for several years.

    I am a top-notch professional Academic writing Tutor, with an impeccable versatility of helping students to master and implement the various techniques of writing quality and academically acceptable papers across multiple fields of study. I help my clients learn how to convey their scholarly thoughts in a logical, creative, engaging, and critically assertive way so that their final papers both scores the best grades and add value to the already existing body of knowledge -this is the essence of writing at a high institution of learning. My main objective is to give students individualized attention which they might not get in a classroom set-up, where instructors are required to attend to all students. Under these circumstances, teachers lack enough time to help students develop into independent researchers because of increased standardized tests, which often do not give students an opportunity of developing into critical consumers of literature in their field of study. I hold a Master's Degree in Computer Science. My 4 years of pursuing my Undergraduate Degree and the 3 years spent in pursuing my Master's Degree (included extensive research and writing of voluminous papers) helped me understand the challenges that students go through, especially if they do not have a dependable supervisor (often busy) to guide them in the research process. I will help students in need of a tutor to help them understand or explain the different aspects and rules of conducting research and crafting academically acceptable papers. Just like in a classroom learning environment, I will use sample papers to help you in writing and formatting your paper according to your university's preferred style of writing. I am a full-time tutor, hence I utilize my time well to guide you towards understanding the prerequisites of wiring a quality paper and answer any concern that you might have as you prepare to write your paper. I am always online for a timely response to my clients' emails and answering any questions regarding ways to improve your paper and score a better grade. I am interested in your academic excellence hence and I will guide you through your academic journey towards excellence. *As your tutor, I will guide you through:* 1. How to prepare an academic paper and proofread in APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, and Harvard among others. 2.How to write original papers or avoiding PLAGIARISM 3. How to manage your research process when writing your paper 4. The DO and DONTs in academic writing. OTHER SKILLS AND SERVICES 1. Probability and Statistics 2. Algebra 3. Financial Accounting 4. Economic Analysis

    In 2023, I turned down over 80% of job invitations on Upwork. Based on this data, I am probably NOT the writer for you. Who am I looking for? 🧐 Unfortunately, I need to turn down the bulk of offers I receive through Upwork because they’re almost always from the wrong kind of clients. If you’re a questionable marketing agency looking for cheap labor, an exotic cryptocurrency project in need of promotion, or a novice trader seeking third-party coverage of a microcap, we’re not a good fit. However, if you’re representing the marketing department of a financial services company, the owner of a growing YouTube channel, or a financial content producer in need of assistance, let’s talk. Who am I? 👨🏻‍💻 I am a qualified British lawyer and an experienced financial writer from the United Kingdom with several years of experience writing stories about financial markets and products. What services do I offer? ✏️ • SEO Optimized Blogs & Articles. • Social Media Content. • Script Writing • Investment Research. • Newsletters. Why me? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Outside of my professional qualifications and experience, I invest significant amounts into the US and cryptocurrency markets. As a result, I regularly keep up to date with the most recent developments in the industry. This familiarity is vital when writing as it gives the writer an understanding of the readership's perspective and ensures that the financial content remains fresh and relevant. What is my rate? 💰 I usually work on a "per word" basis. I charge within a range of $0.15-0.20 per word, depending on the complexity of the task. Long-term clients will receive an average rate based on their needs and the work requested.

    Hi there, My name is Dolly, and I love writing, trees, and funky bass lines. To go more into detail: I started writing over ten years ago and hope to never stop. After many years of personal writing, I expanded my scope and dove into social media branding, technical writing, and revitalized blogging content. This looked like writing ads for a local politician, grants for a conservatory in Kansas, and social media content for various organizations and influencers. I was lucky enough to be able to share my passion with others a few years back. I taught middle-schoolers Creative Writing (with grammar supplementals) for one year before the pandemic began and have continued to tutor online. My tutoring subjects include English, CW, ESL, and Poetry. I find that helping others make their dreams come true (most often in the form of publishing their book) elicits the same satisfaction in me that teaching does. Along those lines, I facilitate a Creative Writing group in Oklahoma for adults: an intentional safe space where we can learn, share, and workshop without fear of judgement. My work has been featured in Sunrise Wichita, Everything Midwest, Robust Kitchen, and Policybae, to name a few. As of 2022, I have written/ghostwritten three novels, two of which are published, while the third is currently in “literary agent-transit.” As an Issue Editor at SIAMB!, I manage one of our literary magazines, Scissortail Sings, and help spread the word about micropresses and community-based writing. I’d love to work with you on your project, whether that come in the form of a manuscript, essay, brand content, or social media ads. You can sign up for a consultation or send me an invitation to discuss this further. I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Happy writing, Dolly F. Psst - I worked in organic, small-time agriculture for one glorious year. As a farmer, I grew organic food and flowers for local markets, restaurants, and nonprofits. If you ever want to talk about plants, please reach out!

    As a writer, I am passionate about sharing information with others via the written word! I work hard to craft expertly written content in all forms. While I enjoy blogging and scriptwriting, I am no stranger to professional, scholarly work. Along with research and writing, my strengths are in editing, proofreading, project creation, and public speaking. I currently contribute to several history-related blogs and am a scriptwriter for YouTube channels. In 2018, I authored a history book for Brookville Equipment Corporation entitled "Brookville: On Track for a Century." The book is a complete historical account of the business, highlighting its start in 1918 and ending in 2018. I also ghostwrote the interviews throughout the work. While employed at Brookville, I also worked with the marketing department to help create and edit everything from brochures to new releases. I started a company newsletter entitled "Off the Rail," which I designed, wrote, and distributed every month. I have worked on projects that required developmental and copy editing, proofreading, crafting and editing professional literature, researching and writing blog content, and scriptwriting.

    You post a job, and people pound on your door with proposals like the waves pound the beach in advance of a hurricane. Do you have the time to pick through the flood of flotsam on the shore to find one small, sparkling diamond in all that rough before it disappears back into the sea? I doubt it. So, let me save you some time. I am a writer. I learned how to write when I was in single digits and training pants. I added spelling to my resume around 7. It took me a bit longer to learn how to proofread (about 15 more years). Then, I earned my degree and - poof! - I was an editor. What else do you need to know? I'm a unique product of pure magic. So, who should you believe? The pounding prospects...? Or me? You can believe me. But... If you want to put me in a cubicle and have me melt into the masses...forget it. If you want me to tell you what you want to hear and worship the god of convention...go away. If you want a professional who will reliably serve your needs and help you achieve your goals...c'mere - let me hug you. Whatever you need, I'll get it done. I've got your back. After all, it's us or them.

    I am a professional copywriter, editor, and proofreader with experience across a wide range of publications. I earned my BA in English Language and Literature at University College London (UCL), where I researched and wrote a dissertation on Shakespeare and the Law, learned Old English, and even prepared my own translation of Beowulf from the original! I earned my J.D. at University of Michigan Law School in 2021, where I served for three years as a senior editor on the Michigan Journal of Law Reform. After graduating law school, I clerked for a federal district judge in Nevada, where I researched and wrote legal opinions, many of which are published in the Federal Register. Most recently, I have developed my portfolio as a freelancer on UpWork editing online articles, blog posts, cover letters and other application materials, journal articles, business documents, reports, upper-level scholarship, book manuscripts, and more. I have helped aspiring authors edit and improve their works for publication, guided prospective students through college and graduate admissions, proofread corporate documents, and reviewed marketing materials. My clients' final products have gone on to be published with independent and major outlets alike, including textbooks and major academic journals. Across my experiences, I picked up a variety of editorial methods (including all major citation styles) and am happy to adapt my writing to the needs of the author. In the last year, I have taken on several weekly clients in need of AI fact-checking and editing and assisted them in ensuring their AI-generated materials are polished to perfection. Furthermore, I myself have written multiple articles and blogs using ChatGPT4 and am interested in developing my skills in the field. I care deeply about linguistic precision and want to ensure you are producing clear, succinct, and accurate works of writing for whatever the goal. I am also fluent in Spanish and have performed translation work for Spanish language clients in the immigration law context! I would love to help you develop or finalize your next written work.

How To Hire an Essay Writer

This guide will walk you through hiring professional essay writers, ensuring you receive a top-notch paper writing service that meets your specific requirements and academic standards.

What is an essay writer?

An essay writer is a professional who specializes in crafting well-researched, properly formatted, and original academic papers for students and researchers.

To find the best essay writer service for your academic needs, follow these steps:

  1. Determine your specific requirements (type of paper, academic level, word count)
  2. Research reputable essay writing services or platforms

How to shortlist essay writing professionals

As you’re browsing available essay-writing consultants, developing a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview can be helpful. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Subject-matter fit. You want an essay writer who understands the subject you wish them to write about.
  • Portfolio. There’s nothing like past work to tip you off to a highly skilled essay writer.
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular essay writer.

How to write an effective essay writing job post

With a clear picture of your ideal essay writer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective essay writing job post should include:

  • Scope of work. From dissertations to persuasive essays, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length. Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background. If you prefer experience working with certain file formats or style guides, mention this here.
  • Budget. Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Title your post

A good job post title should be concise and descriptive. Examples include:

  • Expert Writer Needed for College Essay
  • Seeking Professional Research Paper Writer with Science Background To Write My Paper
  • Experienced Graduate-Level APA-Style Writer To Do My Essay
  • Online Essay Writer Needed for Academic Essays

Write a great job description

In your project description, include:

  • Type of paper (e.g., research paper, case study, literature review)
  • Subject area and topic for the type of essay needed
  • Academic level (high school, undergraduate, graduate)
  • Word count or number of pages
  • Required formatting and citation style (MLA, APA)
  • Deadline and any milestones
  • Any specific research requirements or sources to be used

Include job responsibilities

  • Conducting thorough research on assigned topics
  • Writing original, plagiarism-free content
  • Adhering to specific formatting and citation guidelines
  • Meeting deadlines and milestones
  • Revising work based on client feedback
  • Proofreading and editing for grammar, spelling, and clarity to ensure high-quality work

Add necessary qualifications

Key qualifications for essay writers may include:

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field
  • Strong research and writing skills
  • Expertise in specific subject areas
  • Familiarity with various citation styles (MLA, APA)
  • Excellent time management and ability to meet deadlines
  • Native or near-native English proficiency
  • Experience with academic writing and formatting

Before hiring essay writers, it's important to understand the role and industry dynamics.

What essay writers do

Essay writers must also adhere to academic integrity standards, ensuring all work is original and properly cited.

Essay writer hiring demand 

The demand for essay writers remains strong in 2024, driven by the growing number of students seeking academic writing assistance. While specific data on essay writers is limited, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 4% growth for writers and authors from 2022 to 2032, indicating a steady demand for writing professionals.

Typical essay writer projects

Essay writers can handle a variety of academic writing projects, including:

How much it costs to hire an essay writer in 2024

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions. An experienced essay writer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work. A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their essay writing services more competitively.

On Upwork, these writers charge anywhere from $38-$95 per hour. Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
