Diary of a Mad Editor

Using a paper-writing service for your college assignments has long been controversial subject in academia. In the eyes of academics, it is cheating, pure and simple.  It can also be a pragmatic solution for the overworked student who lacks writing and research skills. Think of it as delegating. Back during my undergraduate days, I actually made extra money writing papers for my peers. This was before the Internet, before students could order papers from a website with a click of a button.

If you are going to use a college essay writing service, there are some things to consider:

Depending on the length and complexity of the assignment, a custom writing service is not cheap.  A single essay can run you several hundred dollars and a graduate thesis or dissertation can run you several thousand dollars. Convenience isn’t always so convenient if you are broke and struggling.

Many online essay writing services hire writers with Master’s Degrees and PhDs. That’s the good news. You are virtually guaranteed a paper that will meet your professor’s standards. The bad news is that if you are a poor writer and your class is small enough that your professor is familiar with you and your writing abilities, you would be foolish to try to pass off one of these papers as your own without first studying the material and reworking the paper into your own words. That way, if your prof sees any red flags, you can offer a plausible defense.

A custom writing service can meet tight deadlines — up to 24 hours before the assignment is due. However, it is inadvisable wait until 24 hours before an assignment is due to place an order. You want to give yourself enough of a window that you can review and edit the material before you turn it in. You also have to consider problems that may arise.  It is a good idea to order the paper at least a week in advance.
