About Our Service & AI Use
Do you use AI to write essays?
No. We do not use AI to generate content for your essays. Our writers are genuine academics—PhDs, PhD candidates, and subject matter experts—who write every essay themselves based on their expertise and understanding of the material.
Our writers may use AI tools for supporting tasks like research organization, outlining experiments, and quality checking, similar to how professionals in every field use technology. But the actual writing, analysis, and argumentation in your essay is 100% human-created by an expert who actually understands your topic.
Think of it like a carpenter using power tools: the tools make the expert more efficient, but they don’t replace the expertise. Our value proposition is genuine scholarly knowledge applied to your assignment, not AI-generated text.
How is your service different from AI essay generators?
The difference is fundamental:
AI Essay Generators produce text through statistical prediction. They don’t understand your topic, can’t develop original arguments, make frequent factual errors, produce generic analysis, and create work that often gets flagged by AI detection tools.
AI can generate words quickly. Our writers generate ideas, arguments, and analysis that demonstrate genuine intellectual engagement. That’s a categorical difference, not a matter of degree.
Will my essay pass AI detection tools like Turnitin?
Yes. Our essays consistently pass AI detection tools because they’re actually written by human experts, not generated by AI.
We run all completed work through multiple AI detection platforms (Turnitin AI Detection, GPTZero, Originality.AI) as part of our quality assurance process. If any flags appear, we work with the writer to ensure the final product will pass institutional scrutiny.
Our essays pass detection not through tricks or “humanization” techniques, but through authenticity. When work is genuinely written by a human expert who understands the material, it naturally exhibits the characteristics of human thought that distinguish it from AI output.
How can I verify my essay wasn’t written by AI?
Several ways:
- Request drafts and outlines – We can provide evidence of the writing process, including outlines and progressive drafts. AI-generated content doesn’t have this development history.
- Ask subject-specific questions – Contact your writer through our system and ask detailed questions about the content. An expert who actually wrote the essay can discuss it in depth. AI-generated work cannot.
- Review for expertise markers – Our essays demonstrate genuine understanding through: original arguments (not obvious claims), sophisticated synthesis of sources (not superficial name-dropping), disciplinary voice (not generic academic language), and engagement with complex ideas (not surface-level discussion).
- Run it through AI detectors yourself – We encourage this. Our work passes because it’s authentic.
Why should I trust you over cheaper AI-based services?
Because we’re transparent about what we offer, and our track record speaks for itself.
Cheaper services often use AI generation and hide this from customers. They promise “human-written” work while delivering AI output. When students submit this work, it gets flagged, receives poor grades, or results in academic integrity investigations.
We’ve been operating since 2010 with thousands of satisfied clients. Our writers have completed tens of thousands of essays. We’ve built our reputation on quality and authenticity, which is incompatible with AI content generation.
Moreover, we’re more expensive for a reason: we pay actual experts appropriately for their knowledge and time. If someone offers PhD-quality writing for $5 per page, they’re either lying about the quality or using AI. Our pricing reflects the reality that genuine expertise costs more than automation.
Quality & Guarantees
What qualifications do your writers have?
Our writers are genuine academics with advanced degrees and subject matter expertise:
- PhDs and PhD candidates from accredited universities
- Former professors and current educators
- Published researchers and scholars
- Subject matter specialists with years of experience in their fields
We verify credentials during hiring and match writers to assignments based on actual expertise. A philosophy PhD writes philosophy papers. A literature specialist handles literary analysis. This ensures authentic disciplinary knowledge, not generalist fakery.
Many of our writers, like Professor Rogue featured in our blog, have completed thousands of essays over years or decades. This isn’t their side hustle—it’s their profession, and they’re genuinely good at it.
How do you ensure essay quality?
Multi-stage quality assurance:
Stage 1: Writer Selection – We match assignments to writers with genuine expertise in the relevant field and verified capability to write at the required level.
Stage 2: Process Monitoring – We maintain oversight to ensure writers are engaging in genuine scholarly work, not taking shortcuts.
Stage 3: Content Review – Completed work undergoes editorial review for argument quality, source engagement, and analytical sophistication.
Stage 4: Technical Checking – We verify citations, check for plagiarism, and run work through AI detection tools.
Stage 5: Disciplinary Standards – We ensure writing adheres to conventions in the relevant academic field.
This comprehensive QA means our rejection and revision rates are higher than competitors, but our final quality is superior.
What if I’m not satisfied with my essay?
We offer free revisions within reasonable parameters:
- If the essay doesn’t meet assignment requirements as originally specified
- If arguments need strengthening or analysis needs deepening
- If sources need better integration or citations need correction
- If clarity or organization needs improvement
Our revision policy is designed to ensure you receive work that meets your needs and our quality standards. Most clients are satisfied with initial delivery, but we stand behind our work with meaningful revision guarantees.
We cannot provide refunds for or revisions to work that met specifications but didn’t receive the grade you hoped for—academic evaluation involves many factors beyond our control. But we will work with you to ensure the essay we deliver actually meets the assignment requirements as stated.
Do you guarantee specific grades?
No, and you should be skeptical of services that do. Grade outcomes depend on many factors we cannot control: professor preferences, grading rubrics, class context, how the work is used, and subjective evaluation.
What we guarantee is quality: sophisticated analysis, original argumentation, proper source engagement, correct formatting, and work that meets assignment specifications. Our writers are experts who produce work worthy of high grades, but we cannot guarantee evaluation outcomes.
Our track record speaks for itself: thousands of satisfied clients over 14+ years. Most receive strong grades. But honest service requires acknowledging that we control quality, not evaluation.
Academic Integrity & Ethics
Is using your service cheating?
This is a complex question that depends on how you use our work and your institution’s specific policies.
Our essays are designed as model papers and educational resources. When students use them as:
- Examples to study and learn from
- Guides for understanding how to approach topics
- References for proper citation and argumentation
- Inspiration for developing their own ideas
…they’re using academic support services similar to tutoring, which most institutions permit.
When students submit our work as entirely their own without attribution, this typically violates academic integrity policies.
We cannot make ethical decisions for you. We provide expertise and model work; how you use it is your responsibility. We encourage using our services as learning tools rather than shortcuts, as this approach serves your long-term interests better.
How is your service different from tutoring?
Functionally, our model essays serve similar purposes to intensive tutoring:
Tutors help students understand topics, develop arguments, improve writing, and approach assignments effectively. Students learn by working with someone more knowledgeable.
Our Service provides model essays that demonstrate how experts approach topics, develop arguments, engage sources, and construct academic analysis. Students learn by studying expert examples.
Both involve accessing expertise to support learning. The format differs (model essay vs. conversation), but the educational function is similar.
Many students use our services alongside tutoring, writing centers, and other academic support. We’re part of an ecosystem of resources that help students develop capabilities.
What about honor codes and academic policies?
Different institutions have different policies. Some explicitly prohibit using any outside assistance. Others permit tutoring and educational resources. Many fall in between with nuanced positions.
We recommend:
- Read your institution’s academic integrity policy carefully
- Understand what types of assistance are permitted
- Make informed decisions about how you use our service
- Consider using our work as a study guide rather than submitting it directly
We cannot interpret policies for you or make ethical decisions on your behalf. Our role is to provide expertise and quality work; your role is to use it responsibly within your institution’s framework.
Do you report usage to universities?
Absolutely not. We maintain strict confidentiality. Your identity, your orders, and your use of our service are completely private.
We do not share information with educational institutions, employers, or anyone else. Privacy is fundamental to our service model and to the trust our clients place in us.
Operational Questions
How does the ordering process work?
Simple and transparent:
- Submit your assignment requirements including topic, length, deadline, specific instructions, and any materials we need.
- Receive a quote based on complexity, length, deadline, and required expertise level.
- Make payment through our secure system.
- We match you with an appropriate writer who has genuine expertise in your topic area.
- Your writer completes the work according to specifications and our quality standards.
- You receive your essay with time to review before your deadline.
- Request revisions if needed within our policy parameters.
The process typically takes 3-10 days depending on length and complexity, though we can accommodate rush orders when possible.
Can I communicate with my writer?
Yes. Our system allows message exchange between clients and writers throughout the process.
You can ask questions about approach, provide additional context, clarify requirements, or request updates. This communication helps ensure the final product meets your needs.
Your writer can ask clarifying questions about the assignment, confirm understanding of requirements, or discuss how they’re approaching the work.
This dialogue often improves results and helps clients understand the expert thinking behind the essay.
What about deadlines and rush orders?
We take deadlines seriously and deliver on time consistently.
Standard turnaround for a 10-page essay is 5-7 days. We can accommodate shorter deadlines (24-72 hours) for rush orders, though these incur additional fees to compensate writers for prioritizing your work.
For complex assignments or advanced-level work, we recommend longer timelines to ensure quality. Rushing sophisticated analysis doesn’t serve anyone well.
We build buffer time into our internal deadlines so you receive work with time to review before your submission deadline. If you need revisions, there’s time to handle them.
What if there are technical problems or delays?
We maintain communication throughout the process. If any issues arise:
- Writers contact you immediately if they need clarification
- Our support team notifies you of any complications
- We work to resolve problems quickly
- In rare cases where we cannot deliver as promised, we refund payment
Technical problems are rare because we’ve refined our systems over 14+ years of operation, but we handle them professionally and transparently when they occur.
Pricing & Payment
Why are you more expensive than some competitors?
Because we pay genuine experts appropriately for their knowledge and time, and we maintain quality standards that AI-dependent services cannot match.
Our costs include:
- Fair compensation for PhDs and subject matter experts
- Multi-stage quality assurance processes
- Editorial oversight and revision support
- Platform maintenance and customer service
- Writer training and professional development
Cheap services cut these costs by using AI generation or exploiting writers. We compete on quality and authenticity, not on price.
If PhD-level academic writing seems too cheap, it’s because it’s not actually PhD-level, not actually writing, or both.
Do you offer discounts or deals?
We occasionally offer discounts for:
- Repeat clients with strong order history
- Large or ongoing projects
- Off-peak ordering periods
We do not compete on price as our primary value proposition, but we value client loyalty and long-term relationships.
The best “deal” we offer is consistent quality and reliability. Students who’ve tried cheaper alternatives often come to us because they recognize that quality matters more than saving a few dollars, especially when academic stakes are high.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit cards and secure online payment methods through established payment processors.
All transactions are encrypted and secure. We do not store payment information ourselves—this is handled by certified payment processors that meet industry security standards.
Payment is required before work begins to protect both clients and writers.
What is your refund policy?
We refund payment if:
- We cannot deliver work by the agreed deadline
- The delivered work fundamentally fails to meet assignment specifications as originally stated
- Technical issues on our end prevent service delivery
We do not refund for:
- Grade outcomes (we control quality, not evaluation)
- Changes to assignment requirements after work is completed
- Client decisions to not use work after delivery
- Dissatisfaction with work that meets specified requirements
Our revision policy exists to address quality concerns. Most issues can be resolved through revision rather than refund.
We aim for client satisfaction and stand behind our work, but refund policies must be reasonable and clear.
Privacy & Security
How do you protect my privacy?
Rigorously and comprehensively:
- No personal information required beyond what’s necessary for service delivery
- Encrypted communications through our secure platform
- Confidential storage of all order information
- No third-party sharing of client data
- Anonymized writer assignment (writers don’t see identifying information)
- Secure payment processing through certified processors
- Data protection policies aligned with industry best practices
Your privacy is fundamental to our business model. We cannot maintain client trust without absolute confidentiality.
What information do you collect and why?
We collect only what’s necessary:
For service delivery: Assignment details, academic level, deadline, communication preferences, and payment information
For quality assurance: Order history to track client satisfaction and match you with appropriate writers
For customer service: Communication history to resolve issues and improve service
We do not sell data, share information with third parties for marketing, or use your information for purposes beyond service delivery.
Can my university find out I used your service?
Not through us. We maintain absolute confidentiality and do not share information with educational institutions.
The only way your university could know is if:
- You tell someone who reports you
- You submit work in ways that raise suspicion (dramatic quality changes, inconsistent with your previous work)
- You fail to follow assignment instructions and the work is obviously outsourced
We deliver quality work, but discretion in how you use it is your responsibility. We do our part by maintaining privacy; you do yours by using services thoughtfully.
How long do you retain my information?
Order information and communications are retained for:
- Active support and potential revision requests (minimum 6 months)
- Client history for repeat order processing (as long as account is active)
- Legal compliance and dispute resolution (typically 3-5 years)
You can request deletion of your information subject to legal retention requirements. We do not retain information longer than necessary for legitimate business purposes.
Technical & Formatting
What citation styles do you support?
All major academic citation styles:
- MLA (Modern Language Association)
- APA (American Psychological Association)
- Chicago/Turabian
- Harvard
- IEEE
- AMA
- Bluebook (legal)
- Discipline-specific styles
Our writers are trained in proper citation formatting and can follow specific style guides as required by your assignment.
Can you handle specialized or technical topics?
Yes, if we have writers with appropriate expertise.
We’ve completed essays across virtually every academic discipline: STEM fields, social sciences, humanities, professional programs, technical subjects.
For highly specialized topics, we verify that we have writers with genuine subject matter knowledge before accepting orders. If we cannot match you with appropriate expertise, we’ll tell you upfront rather than delivering inadequate work.
Our strength is breadth of expertise combined with quality standards that ensure we only assign work to genuinely qualified writers.
Do you provide plagiarism reports?
Yes, upon request. We run all work through plagiarism detection software and can provide reports demonstrating originality.
Our work is written from scratch by expert writers based on assignment specifications. Plagiarism is not an issue because writers are actually writing, not copying.
Similarity to sources will appear in reports for properly cited quotations and paraphrases, which is expected and acceptable in academic work.
What about formatting requirements (margins, spacing, etc.)?
We follow standard academic formatting unless you specify otherwise:
- Standard margins (typically 1″)
- Specified spacing (double-space unless otherwise requested)
- Appropriate font (Times New Roman 12pt or as specified)
- Page numbers and headers as required
- Title pages and reference pages as needed
If your assignment has specific formatting requirements, include them in your order and we’ll follow them exactly.
For International Students
Do you work with non-native English speakers?
Yes, and we’re particularly effective for international students because our writers understand academic English conventions and can produce sophisticated, properly structured work.
Many of our clients are international students using our model essays to:
- Understand academic writing conventions in English
- See proper grammar and syntax in context
- Learn discipline-specific vocabulary and argumentation styles
- Improve their own writing through studying expert examples
This is legitimate educational use of our services that helps students develop English academic writing capabilities.
Will essays be appropriate for non-US institutions?
Yes. Our writers are familiar with academic conventions across different educational systems:
- UK/British English and conventions
- Canadian academic styles
- Australian and New Zealand systems
- European academic frameworks
- Asian institutional expectations
Specify your location and institutional context in your order and we’ll ensure appropriate conventions.
Can you handle translation or ESL editing?
We focus on original academic writing rather than translation or ESL editing.
For these services, we recommend specialized providers. However, our model essays can serve as examples of proper academic English that help ESL students understand conventions they’re working to master.
Common Concerns Addressed
“This seems too good to be true. What’s the catch?”
There’s no catch. We’re a legitimate business that’s operated successfully since 2010 by providing genuine value: access to expert academic writing.
The “catch,” if there is one, is that quality costs more than automation. We’re not the cheapest option because we employ real experts rather than AI. If you value quality over price, we’re the right choice. If you want the absolute cheapest option, competitors using AI generation will be less expensive (and less effective).
We’re also transparent that our work is best used as educational resources rather than submitted directly as your own. This ethical framework serves everyone’s interests better than positioning ourselves as a pure shortcut.
“How do I know you’re not scamming me?”
Reasonable question. Here’s why we’re legitimate:
- 14+ years of operation since 2010 with thousands of satisfied clients
- Transparent pricing and policies clearly stated upfront
- Verifiable quality you can check through AI detection and plagiarism tools
- Responsive customer service throughout the process
- Revision guarantees to ensure satisfaction
- Secure payment processing through established processors
- No requests for suspicious information or sketchy payment methods
Scam services disappear quickly, change names frequently, make guarantees they can’t keep, or request unusual payment methods. We’ve maintained consistent service, reputation, and quality for over a decade.
“What if my professor recognizes the writing style isn’t mine?”
This is why we position our work as model essays and educational resources.
If you’re studying our essay to understand how to approach your topic, then writing your own essay informed by that understanding, style mismatch isn’t an issue—you’re submitting your own work.
If you’re submitting our work directly, style mismatch is one of several risks you’re accepting. We cannot eliminate this risk because genuine expert writing does have distinctive characteristics.
The safest, most ethical use is as learning tool rather than direct submission. This approach eliminates style mismatch concerns while providing legitimate educational value.
“Is this legal?”
Yes. Academic writing services are legal. We operate as an educational resource provider.
What’s potentially problematic isn’t the service itself but how work is used. Submitting others’ work as your own violates academic policies (though not typically criminal law). Using our work as educational resources aligns with legal and ethical frameworks.
We comply with all applicable laws regarding business operations, privacy, and consumer protection. We’ve operated legally for 14+ years and will continue doing so.
