How to Find the Best College Essay Writing Service

College essay writing services online used to be almost entirely the province of very shady characters. They never advertised under their own names, the flooded comment threads with spam instead, they had elaborate systems of aliases to hide their overseas owners’ identities, and other bizarre practices that looked more like a TV drama version of the Internet-based Wild West than a business. Some of those businesses still exist, but the best essay writing service is one that looks and functions like other good online businesses.

There isn’t an IMDB or AllMusic guide for essay writing companies. You can find some reviews here and there, but sadly it is not possible to find comprehensive reviews of the existing academic writing companies for comparison.

The orgs that purport to be a place to discuss individual student experiences with academic companies are owned and operated by writing companies themselves. There is nothing wrong with that, necessarily, but it does mean that the contents of those pages are not always useful, since negative comments about their own services are scrubbed from the site.

Some of those companies still exist and remain some of the biggest names in the business. Over the last ten years, however, more and more startups have begun dotting the business landscape. These smaller businesses do not have the millions in annual sales, but they do offer the benefit of operating like, for lack of a better word, normal businesses.

Most students have bought something from an online business or two. The more purchases you have made, the more you have learned about how to spot a good or a bad business. You can use those same skills to choose an essay writing service, and this article should help.

These new, smaller businesses are free of the paranoia and lies that often influenced how customers were treated. They openly price their product, their owners are easily located, and they advertise directly, under their own business name. The old ways of walls of text designed to maximize hits are absent; instead, they use Facebook, Tumblr, and/ or Twitter, like most small businesses. If their clients want to find them, they can.

These are still businesses and they are interested in making money. Unlike many older companies, however, they operate with the business ideals of a stable, content client base. The develop that client base by providing good products and services rather than a lightning fast turnover of disappointed clients to be endlessly replaced by other desperate, and then disappointed, clients.

The nitty gritty of finding the business you want

How do you know if you have found a reliable company? First of all, look for them on Twitter and Facebook. Look at the accounts, do their Tweets and posts make sense? Are they spelled correctly? Those are very good signs.

Hours and contact information

Look around their Web site. Many Web sites feature American flags prominently, but a little bit of reading will tell you that they are not native speakers. They should have their hours posted prominently, along with their email address, and phone number.

A good online business should be able to meet your needs without phone calls, all of their services should be accessible online, but it is still important for them to have a phone number and to post it.

Customer service

Once you have looked around their site and seen what they have posted, think about a question you would like to ask. Once you know what you want to ask, email the manager at the company you have chosen. Check their hours again, you should hear from them within a few hours during those hours.

The point is not how quickly they answer, though. It’s also not whether they say ‘yes’ because sometimes companies say yes just to get you to spend your money. What you are looking for is for them to address your concerns directly.

Pricing

They should have their prices posted openly. If a company is hiding their pricing, it is because they want to force you to interact with them, and to get your personal information, so that they can use high-pressure sales tactics. They might not have everything listed, that is not even possible, but they should have the basics posted publicly.

If you do not see the kind of project you need posted, they should be able to tell you the approximate cost pretty easily. Writing companies should be familiar with your type of work if they want your business.

Spy versus spy

Be careful about playing detective or setting “traps”. The manager might not know every acronym common to your field and expecting them to would be disservice to you. You do not want to try to trip people up, because it is a waste of time.

The writer will be a professional in your field, but the manager should be a profession in hers. That means she will know which writers are best suited to you and your work, even if your school’s acronym for the dissertation approval form is like a foreign language.

Traps are a bad idea because scammers are better at avoiding them than honest companies are. Further, giving a company bad information about yourself or project is only going to make things worse. You want them to have the best information possible so that they can give you the best work possible.

A good essay writing service will operate like any other good business, and will treat you the way good businesses do. Interactions with them should feel normal and the experience should be one that reduces stress.
