This resource begins with a general description of essay writing and moves to a discussion of common essay genres students may encounter across the curriculum. The four genres of essays (description, narration, exposition, and argumentation) are common paper assignments you may encounter in your writing classes. Although these genres, also known as the modes of discourse, have been criticized by some composition scholars, the Purdue OWL recognizes the wide spread use of these genres and students’ need to understand and produce these types of essays. We hope these resources will help.

The essay is a commonly assigned form of writing that every student will encounter while in academia. Therefore, it is wise for the student to become capable and comfortable with this type of writing early on in her training.

Essays can be a rewarding and challenging type of writing and are often assigned either to be done in class, which requires previous planning and practice (and a bit of creativity) on the part of the student, or as homework, which likewise demands a certain amount of preparation. Many poorly crafted essays have been produced on account of a lack of preparation and confidence. However, students can avoid the discomfort often associated with essay writing by understanding some common genres.

Before delving into its various genres, let’s begin with a basic definition of the essay.

What is an essay?

Though the word essay has come to be understood as a type of writing in Modern English, its origins provide us with some useful insights. The word comes into the English language through the French influence on Middle English; tracing it back further, we find that the French form of the word comes from the Latin verb exigere , which means "to examine, test, or (literally) to drive out." Through the excavation of this ancient word, we are able to unearth the essence of the academic essay: to encourage students to test or examine their ideas concerning a particular topic.

Essays are shorter pieces of writing that often require the student to hone a number of skills such as close reading, analysis, comparison and contrast, persuasion, conciseness, clarity, and exposition. As is evidenced by this list of attributes, there is much to be gained by the student who strives to succeed at essay writing.

The purpose of an essay is to encourage students to develop ideas and concepts in their writing with the direction of little more than their own thoughts (it may be helpful to view the essay as the converse of a research paper). Therefore, essays are (by nature) concise and require clarity in purpose and direction. This means that there is no room for the student’s thoughts to wander or stray from his or her purpose; the writing must be deliberate and interesting.

This handout should help students become familiar and comfortable with the process of essay composition through the introduction of some common essay genres.

This handout includes a brief introduction to the following genres of essay writing:

  • Expository essays
  • Descriptive essays
  • Narrative essays
  • Argumentative (Persuasive) essays
  • Tips for Reading an Assignment Prompt

Essay Writing Fundamentals

How to prepare to write an essay, how to edit an essay, how to share and publish your essays, how to get essay writing help, how to find essay writing inspiration, resources for teaching essay writing.

Essays, short prose compositions on a particular theme or topic, are the bread and butter of academic life. You write them in class, for homework, and on standardized tests to show what you know. Unlike other kinds of academic writing (like the research paper) and creative writing (like short stories and poems), essays allow you to develop your original thoughts on a prompt or question. Essays come in many varieties: they can be expository (fleshing out an idea or claim), descriptive, (explaining a person, place, or thing), narrative (relating a personal experience), or persuasive (attempting to win over a reader). This guide is a collection of dozens of links about academic essay writing that we have researched, categorized, and annotated in order to help you improve your essay writing. 

Essays are different from other forms of writing; in turn, there are different kinds of essays. This section contains general resources for getting to know the essay and its variants. These resources introduce and define the essay as a genre, and will teach you what to expect from essay-based assessments.

Second, editors and proofreaders check the quality of the written text. Third, we check that the text is original by running several plagiarism screenings. Finally, we offer up to 2 weeks of free revisions if your essay needs edits or improvements.

Essay writing help to solve your academic challenges when:

⏳ you are close to meeting the deadline.

Running out of time? Need someone to “write essay for me” ASAP? We don’t care why you are running late with assignment submission; you can count on us without second guessing. Some students procrastinate until the last minute. Some have jobs or family commitments. Some have too many assignments to handle simultaneously. You can always reach out to us and expect timely delivery. We’ll help you meet the most pressing deadlines.

🤔 You are concerned about the topic

It happens that some topics motivate you to research, write, and work days and nights. Others leave you wondering, “how is this relevant to my specialization?” No matter the case, our profound essay writers service is committed to delivering an original paper that elaborates on your topic, builds its validity on credible sources, offers valuable insights and arguments, and offers a reasonable discussion part.

✍ You doubt your writing skills

Academic writing is tricky. It is different from journalistic writing or technical one. It is different from the writing we use in our daily lives. It is nothing like the writings we read in fiction books. Therefore, one has to be acquainted with the purposes and guidelines of proper academic writing.

However, easier said than done. That is why students tend to ask for the “write my essay” service to avoid failed assignments amid poor academic writing.

😰 You are uncertain about what to start with

It also happens that some experience difficulties with starting their academic papers. Writing an introduction is one thing, but drafting a structure, creating a roadmap of the paper, and doing a literature review is completely different. Therefore, if you struggle with starting your study project, don’t hesitate to contact our professional essay service.

🥇 You want to be assured of an A+ result

High grades are not the priority for many. But for some getting an A+ is crucial in maintaining a high GPA or getting a scholarship. If you need a professional paper writer who will ensure an A+ for your assignment, place your order with us without further thinking. Request a premium writer with a Ph.D. degree in your respective sciences and get a flawless result by the deadline needed.

Professional essay writers – at your service 24/7

How do we match an essay writer with your order.

The processing of your order starts immediately after the payment. There are two ways of assigning the writer to your request.

First, the system analyzes the features and data of your order: subject area, level of degree (high-school, college, undergraduate, Master, Ph.D.), type of assignment, and deadline. A pool of writers is selected based on their qualifications, previous experiences with similar orders, and availability to complete the task before the deadline. Then the selected writers are offered to accept or decline your order. If the process takes longer than a few hours, the operations manager manually assigns the order to the most fitting expert. Moreover, we listen and adhere to your individual preferences. If you requested a premium writer or the top expert, your order would be offered only to the authors with top customer reviews and rankings.

Another important feature is that you can work with the same writer every time you need an essay service. Contact the support team and ask them to assign your writer again or mention their ID when filling out the order form.

Get direct communication with our essay writers

Our essay writing company goes the extra mile to ensure the workflow is smooth from the moment you place the order till the moment you receive your paper. You can supervise the progress of your order via a private account and chat with the assigned essay writer. The chat is encrypted and anonymous; therefore, you have nothing to worry about.

  • Good customer service but never keep their promise to submit stuff on time.

“Convenient”

It is very convenient that you can no longer spend nights writing essays, especially on subjects that I need help understanding. I ordered an essay on philosophy in the 2nd year. Since then, I have been choosing this particular company for more than a year (I ordered from another one several times, but the result disappointed me). I got excellent jobs ahead of time almost every time. Moreover, those papers were not plagiarized at all. And lastly, the support team is brilliant and always online and ready to help.

“Great service lacks attention to detail for orders”

I've had numerous issues lately with coursework, used to submit to answer 3-4 tabs of problems about 5 -7 problems per page. Now they want to charge 1 page per tab in excel taking what used to be a 20-27 project to 60-70$ there's been times they hit you about 8 hours before deadline so your desperate and have to pay.

Stear Clear

This service is clearly able to have better prices than competitors because their 'writers' are all foreign and most papers are not clearly written in English and the customer support is horrible when you have an issue with refunds or revisions. Half the time the 'writers' send revised papers back without even changing anything. I suggest stearing clear from this business.

  • 5. Essay Writing Tips

An essay is a common type of writing and assignment that high-school and college students have to deal with.  Essay writing  can be a pretty daunting task, especially when you lack creative writing skills or don’t enjoy writing at all, or both.

Most of the students are not aware of the essential steps to write an essay. Read on and master how to write an essay on any topic that is well-researched, detailed, and tailored for an A grade.

What is an Essay?

Let's begin by learning the definition of an essay. So, what is an essay? An essay is a brief composition based on a certain topic or subject that students do as part of their schoolwork or university coursework.

Essays are one of the most common assignments handed out by colleges and institutions since they are an excellent tool for improving many essential skills including analytical thinking, research, creative skills, and so on.

Let's look at writing strategies that can help you get an A in your essay. Let's start at the beginning and work our way through these steps to write a good essay:

  • Choose the Essay Type
  • Choose an Interesting Topic
  • Create an Essay Outline
  • Write Your First Draft
  • Write an Essay Introduction
  • Develop a Thesis Statement
  • Compose Body Paragraphs
  • Write a Strong Conclusion
  • Review Your Essay

Let's take a look at each step of learning how to create an excellent essay in depth.

Steps to Write an Essay

Here is the basic structure that you need to follow for writing an academic essay:

1. Choose the Essay Type

The first step is to choose the type of essay that you are writing. Choosing the right  type of essay  also plays an important role in the overall success of your paper.

Here are the basic types of papers in which academic essays can be divided.

  • Narrative essay
  • Persuasive essay
  • Descriptive essay
  • Analytical essay
  • Argumentative essay
  • Expository essay

Knowing the type of essay will eventually help you decide on the topic and the overall structure of your essay in the best possible way.

2. Choose an Interesting Topic

If you are given the topic, skip to the next step, create an outline and start the writing process.

If you are not given a topic, you have a little more work to do and choose your topic first.

The key to choosing a good topic is to think of what interests you and what you can relate to, the most.

Also, make sure that the topic you choose has sufficient research material available. Search either on the internet or in books for the topic you have chosen to write on.

You can also find a list of interesting  essay topics  that you can explore and choose the one to write your essay on.

3. Create an Essay Outline

Creating an outline is very important if you want to compose an impressive piece of paper. By putting all the ideas on the paper, you can easily see connections and links between ideas in a more clear manner.

If you don’t know how to write an essay outline, here are the following steps that you need to follow for structuring your essay properly.

  • Write your topic at the top of the page
  • List down all the main ideas
  • Leave space under each idea
  • In this space, list down smaller ideas that relates to the main idea

Following these steps for  writing an essay outline  will give you a complete idea of the themes required to be discussed in your paper.

4. Write your First Draft

Your first writing draft will help you do the following;

  • Set the framework and structure of your essay.
  • The way you will answer the main question.
  • The kind of examples and evidence you will use in the essay.
  • The way you will structure your argument

The first draft is not your final essay. Consider it your essay’s raw material that you can edit and proofread later.

5. Write an Essay Introduction

The introductory paragraph of an essay should be both attention-grabbing and informative.

To learn how to write an essay introduction, you first need all the necessary information required to tell the reader about the main idea of your essay.

A vague or boring introduction will give off the wrong impression, and your reader might decide not to read it any further.

Here are the steps in which you can start your  essay introduction  that is both interesting and informative.

  • Use a hook sentence and add informative or shocking revelations.
  • Provide background information and context on your topic
  • Define the objective of your essay
  • Provide an overview of the whole essay structure

6. Develop a Thesis Statement

A thesis statement defines the main purpose and claims of your essay. It is typically defined in one or two sentences and is added at the end of your introductory paragraph.

A perfect  thesis statement  has two parts. The first part states the topic and the latter states the main point of the essay.

Let's have a look at examples of thesis statements and distinguish between strong and weak thesis statements.

A: “The technological advancement has revolutionized human interaction, medical progress, scientific invention, and economic ventures but also manifested insecurities and privacy issues.”

B: “The Internet has assisted humans in numerous ways but also affected them.”

Without any doubt, A is a perfectly crafted thesis statement.

7. Compose Body Paragraphs

The body of an essay describes or explains your topic. Each idea that you write in the outline will be a separate paragraph within the body of the essay.

Since the body is made up of multiple paragraphs, it is important that they are consistent with one another.

Each body paragraph starts with a topic sentence. For those who don’t know  what is a topic sentence , it is the first sentence that describes the main purpose of each paragraph. The topic sentence forms a transition between the body paragraphs.

Use transitions to introduce new paragraphs such as “firstly.. secondly... thirdly…, finally, moreover, furthermore, in addition”, etc.

It is a good idea to refer to the  transition words for essays  to introduce new paragraphs in an impressive manner.

The main aim of body paragraphs is to support your thesis by presenting evidence, facts and figures, statistics, quotes, examples, and other strong evidence.

Here are the tips that you should follow for writing each body paragraph.

  • Write a clear topic sentence
  • Provide solid evidence to support your argumen
  • Provide examples
  • Make sure the paragraph information is consistent
  • Use transitions between paragraphs
  • Conclude each paragraph by linking the evidence to your main point

8. Write a Strong Conclusion

The conclusion sums up the overall ideas and provides a final perspective on the topic. Concluding your essay holds the same importance as the introductory paragraph.

For writing a perfect  essay conclusion , provide a futuristic overview, persuade your reader about your point of view and restate the thesis statement.

If you have no idea about how to write a conclusion for an essay, here are the key points that you should include.

  • Draw connections between the arguments mentioned in the body section
  • State the outcomes
  • Show the relevance and significance of the thesis statement
  • Mention the broader implications of the topic

Here is the information that you should avoid writing in a conclusion:

  • Don’t introduce new ideas or arguments at this stage.
  • Do not undermine your arguments
  • Do not write phrases like 'in conclusion, or 'to conclude'

9. Review Your Essay

If you think that you are done with your essay after writing your conclusion, you are wrong. Before considering that your work is finished, you need to do some final touches.

Review your essay and make sure it follows the  essay format  properly. Double-check your essay instructions and make sure your essay is in the desired format.

Don’t forget to check your paper for grammar and spelling mistakes as well.

How to Structure an Essay Paragraph?

Here are the factors that are included in each body paragraph of the essay.

  • A  topic sentence  is the first sentence of a paragraph. It sets the tone for the paragraph.
  • Supporting sentences  that help to explain the main idea and topic of the paragraph.
  • Evidence  that you have gathered with research, and supports your point of view.
  • Analysis  of the given evidence and a critical conclusion of the paragraph.
  • A  conclusion  or a concluding sentence that sums up the entire paragraph.

All of these components make up a perfect paragraph for any essay.

Essay Example

The best practice is to learn from the essay examples written by expert writers to avoid common  essay writing problems . The examples can help you know the purpose of each type of essay and how to write a perfect one.

Imitate their writing style, argument construction, and structure.

As you read, highlight the important parts of an essay to learn how they did it. Keep in mind that the length of an essay depends on the level and complexity of the topic.

Here is a well-written sample essay from one of our expert writers that you can have a look at.

Essay Writing Tips

Here are the expert tips that you should follow for writing a perfect essay.

  • Start writing your essay early
  • Remember the main question or idea in your mind.
  • Brainstorm ideas
  • Research your topic in-depth
  • Break down the essay into different sections and do not try to finish it in a single sitting.
  • Write and add the introduction and conclusion after finishing the essay.
  • Use transition words to create a coherent flow between the paragraphs.
  • Connect the evidence with the main idea carefully.
  • Do not copy-paste the content.
  • Ensure flawless grammar and punctuation.
  • Cite the references properly.
  • Edit and revise relentlessly.
  • Put the essay away for a few days and check again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes you the best essay writing website compared to other companies.

What makes Top Essay Writing stand out from other operators is our offering of free essay samples so you can see for yourself the quality of our services. We also take pride in keeping our prices low and being committed to high-quality work. You can contact expert writers directly, ask for revisions or refunds, and ensure the final document will be plagiarism-free.

Can you tell me more about your writers? Are they real people?

Our professional essay writers are educators, researchers, and scholars with years of experience in academic writing. All of them are real humans, not AI tools. They are our greatest asset. Applicants undergo strict screening procedures before joining us, and only a few are hired. When you tell us, “Do my paper,” we select the most appropriate academic to meet your unique needs. That is a guarantee that all essays are human-written.

Can I speak with my online essay writer directly?

Yes, you can always contact your allocated writer directly throughout the process. You can ask about their progress, share ideas, offer feedback, and brainstorm together. This ensures that the paper you receive is exactly as you want it.

How can I be sure that you will meet my essay requirements?

Our best paper writing service has rigorous quality assurance procedures in place, and all our academics are required to follow them. If something is wrong with your paper, you can place a free revision request or claim your money back. Our editors and managers track writers’ progress and interfere when necessary to ensure the final document is polished and error-free.

How do you protect my personal data?

We only ask you to provide the contact details needed to complete your task and contact you. These include your name, phone number, and email. At our writing essay website, only managers have access to this information, and they are legally bound not to disclose it. Clients pay for their orders via credit cards, and card providers do not share financial data with us. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

What if I'm not happy with my essay?

This won't be a problem! We offer unlimited revisions to all clients free of charge. Even if you order a 1-page essay, we still got you covered. If you are unsatisfied with a section of your paper, contact your writer or customer support. Our mission is to provide professional essay writing services, and we will address your concerns promptly.

How can I be sure that my writer knows what to do?

We handpick our academic writers and allocate them according to students’ requirements. They all have substantial research and writing experience and are experts in their field. We collaborate with academics in English, Business, Nursing, Math, and many other subjects. Ask us, “Can you write my essays online by my deadline?” and we’ll match you with the best writer ASAP.

What affects the price of my order?

Our pricing system is simple and transparent. The following factors define the final cost: word count/page numbers, level of study, and turnaround time. For example, if your deadline is in a few days or weeks, we can offer a lower price than for more urgent requests. We encourage you to place your order in advance to get the best value for money.

Do you offer discounts for your services?

Of course! We offer all new clients a 13% discount, and our most loyal customers benefit from regular promotions. After placing 5 orders with us, they enjoy a 5% indefinite discount. After 10 orders, this discount goes up to 10% and so on. When you ask our team to “write my paper”, you can be confident that you'll get a student-friendly price.

Does your service provide refunds?

Even though we provide top-quality essays, we understand that things might go wrong and that client demands can change. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we offer refunds to those clients who are dissatisfied with our service. Rest assured that in the unlikely case that we let you down, we'll compensate you accordingly.

Why Students Might Need the Best Essay Writing Services

We only require minimal information to craft your winning essay. But additional details, like what motivated you to reach out for specialist help, are always welcome. Each person has their own reasons. Being an established essay provider, we put together a list of the most common motivations. You might empathize with some of them and realize that you’re far from alone!

Lack of Time

Many students look for a reliable writing service when they don’t have the time to do their homework. They already have a growing pile of work to be done, and numerous deadlines are fast approaching. Hiring a custom essay writing service is a wise and realistic decision to ensure their educational success.

Overly Challenging Assignments

Some tasks might simply be over your head. Not all of us study the subjects we love, and not every topic makes sense to us. In this case, buying an essay is an excellent option.

Personal Reasons

At some point in their lives, most students grapple with mental health issues, such as anxiety or negative thoughts. It is OK to acknowledge this. There’s no reason to sweat over college assignments when you can fulfill your needs using a best essay writer service like Top Essay Writing.

Language Barriers or Competency Issues

Many of the students we work with are not native English speakers. That’s why they opt for our expert editing and proofreading services. Others prefer having experienced academics handling the most critical and demanding assignments.

Whatever reason brought you here, be sure that many students worldwide are just like you. You all benefit equally from our top essay writing services!

The Skills Necessary for Writing a Perfect Paper

Our professional essay writing service hires only expert academics with years of experience. They all share a passion for rigorous research and impeccable writing skills. They appreciate the value of essay outlines and drafts and are familiar with the conventions of academic writing. Your final document will be free of grammatical or syntactic errors, and the text will be nicely laid out. The paragraphs will be proportional to your paper, and the thesis statement will be robust. Our academic experts are well-versed in numerous referencing styles. They are committed to producing original, coherent, and custom-made essays.

Degrees of Complexity in College Assignments

Nothing is too obscure or specialized for us. We are very confident that we can deal with very complex or unique assignments. We accept orders up to 6 hours before your deadline. From essays, term papers, dissertations, thesis chapters, dashboard posts, science-based projects, and calculations, we’re here to help you nail your assignment. We cover academic writing tasks across all education levels, from high school to university.

How We Ensure Stability and Continuity

Stability and safety are common concerns among students reaching out for academic writing support. What if your assigned expert writer becomes incapacitated for whichever reason? Rest assured that your satisfaction is our top priority. If your allocated academic cannot complete your pay for research paper or pay for an essay order on time, we will find an equally qualified replacement. We have an extensive network of specialized academics to choose from.

Why Choose Top Essay Writing?

We understand that you might not have the time to read the entire welcome post. Read on to find out how you’ll benefit from working with us.

  • Direct communication with your writer. You can message the expert academic responsible for your paper directly. Drop them a line to learn more about how they’re getting on with your order, ask any questions you might have, or discuss the topic together. No need to waste your time by contacting the operators first.
  • Transparency. When you contact our operators to ask them, “What should I expect from your write my essay service?” you can rest assured that we’ll be transparent every step of the way. There are no hidden fees. Our pricing system is simple and straightforward, immediately calculating the cost of your order. If you change your requirement (e.g., delivery date or academic level), the price changes accordingly. We promise to give you what you ask for.
  • Guaranteed quality. We take your grades seriously. Our best essay services allow for revision requests and customer reimbursement, regardless of the order cost. Our managers work closely with expert academics to ensure you get a plagiarism-free document. To confirm the originality of your paper, you can always ask to have a look at our plagiarism report.
  • Affordability. As a company constantly fighting for the title of the “top writing service”, we have a flexible pricing and discount system. Our essay prices start from $13.99, which is more than reasonable for the quality of our work. We also offer discounts; the more orders you place, the bigger the discount. This way, both old and new clients have something to look forward to!

How to Identify the Top Paper Writing Service

There are many top essay writing websites out there. They might seem attractive and trustworthy, but research shows that only 15% help you achieve better grades.

Follow these tips to identify the high caliber essay providers and avoid disappointment.

  • Read their quality policy. Reliable essay providers have detailed privacy and quality policies. Consult them to understand what to expect from this company. For example, do they have an alterations policy? Do paper writing websites offer a refund in case your order is not delivered on time or is of low quality? We provide both, but not everyone does.
  • Consult their privacy policy. Data security and integrity matter. How does this platform use your data? On our website, clients receive a unique ID after creating an account, so they don't have to share their real names with writers or operators. We use SSL-certified payment systems, so your money is always safe.
  • Learn about their plagiarism policy. Plagiarism can harm your educational career. It might even lead to academic suspension or probation. Before hiring an essay provider, make sure they take it seriously. Our top essay writer service provides only custom-made papers. As part of our quality control system, we use plagiarism checkers and can provide a plagiarism report upon request.
  • Find out their turnaround time. How quickly does this agency handle orders? You can find out by filling out their online order form or speaking to customer support. Top Essay Writing covers both urgent and long-term academic tasks. The minimum time we ask to complete an order is 6 hours. Still, for your own peace of mind, we recommend you place your order as far in advance as possible.
  • Get in touch with them. If you ask an operator, “Could you do my essay for me?” or inquire about their qualifications, notice how they reply. Do they answer promptly and with precision? Do they write in a professional and polite manner? This is what we guarantee. With our direct communication channels, you can verify it straight away.
  • Check their prices. Understandably, students have a low budget. They’re often attracted to low-cost agencies with dubious performance. Bear in mind that costs below $10 are unrealistic; no academic expert will work for such low pay. Our essay writing services and  research paper writing service start from $13.99, which is just right to keep our clients and writers happy.
  • Verify their reputation. Reading topessaywriting.org reviews on Trustpilot or elsewhere is the safest way to confirm other students’ experiences with essay help websites. Of course, they don’t always paint the right picture. Newly created writing companies often don’t have established their online presence, while others fake reviews to boost their status. Trust only the reviews that appear genuine and legitimate.

Equally, our seasoned academics can work on both complex and challenging projects (e.g., a dissertation or doctoral thesis) or on brief and easy ones (e.g., a discussion post or dashboard assignment). Our academics work only on projects they are specialized in. We have an extensive network of associates to meet your needs!

Subscriber only, sponsored content | best essay writing services: review and comparison of top-rated websites.

essay writing.org

Reputable service, one of the best sites on the market;

All content is written from scratch by professionals;

No need to provide a lot of personal information, you can stay anonymous;

Reasonable price, great value for money.

Even though all papers that PaperHelp delivers are plagiarism-free, a plagiarism report costs extra;

Urgent orders with short deadlines (3-6 hours) can get expensive.

I’ve used PaperHelp a few times when I’ve been swamped with schoolwork and deadlines were creeping up. It’s a solid option if you’re looking for reliable essay writing services. They offer original content and make sure your papers are free from plagiarism, which is crucial for scoring well.

Their system is straightforward. You don’t need to contact customer support to place an order. You simply choose from three levels of professional essay writers — Basic, Advanced, or TOP — depending on your needs and budget. The starting price is $10 per page, and they can deliver within a minimum of three hours. However, adding extra features can increase the cost significantly, so it’s wise to consider whether you really need those extras.

PaperHelp’s policies are a big plus. They have a money-back guarantee, and you can ask for revisions and proofreading to refine your paper. This has been helpful in ensuring the final product meets my expectations.

One downside is that you have to create an account to make a purchase. It seems unnecessary and a bit annoying, especially since this is common with many online essay writing services — they end up sending you endless promotions.

Despite this, I found the quality of their work to be consistently high. It’s important to double-check and spell-check the work you receive, though, as errors can sometimes slip through.

Overall, PaperHelp is a dependable choice. It won’t replace studying or writing your own papers, but it’s a great help when you’re in a bind. If you’re browsing through Reddit for recommendations, you’ll likely come across positive reviews about them, and from my experience, they’re well-deserved.

2.  BBQPapers  — Best for Complex Assignments

essay writing.org

BBQPapers is all about the quality. The company prides itself in writing college papers with professional paper writers that deliver best results on the market;

The company never misses deadlines, you can be sure to receive your order on time, just when you need it;

Free revisions are available 10 days after delivery.

There’s no quick price calculator to get an order estimate, you have to sign up to get the final price;

BBQPapers is somewhat more expensive than most professional essay writing services on this list.

I’ve had my share of experiences with essay writing services, and BBQPapers stands out when it comes to handling complex assignments. They have a team ready to take on papers of any difficulty, and you can even order presentations. Their support is available around the clock, ensuring that you get the best possible grades.

Their prices are pretty reasonable too. High school papers start at $5.85 per 100 words, college papers at $6.77, and PhD-level work begins at $10.64. Every order promises original, plagiarism-free content, thoroughly researched and well-cited, plus you get a free plagiarism report.

Quality control is tight, and each paper is reviewed by a trained editor to ensure error-free results. So, quality isn’t something you’ll need to worry about with them.

Now, understanding their pricing is straightforward. It depends on the academic level, urgency, and length of your paper. Simpler and less urgent tasks cost less, while detailed and urgent ones will naturally cost more. Unlike other essay writing websites that charge by the page, BBQPapers charges by every 100 words, which can make them more expensive. However, they justify their prices with the quality of professional college essay writers they hire.

In summary, while they might be pricier, the quality and service at BBQPapers are top-notch, and they’ve earned a loyal following for it.

3.  SpeedyPaper  — Best Research Paper Writing Service

essay writing.org

Good quality, finding a professional essay writer is a matter of minutes, even if your subject is quite peculiar;

There’s no need to pay for a plagiarism report, it is free;

Lots of positive reviews on Reddit.

Finding an ENL essay writer can be quite hard, because SpeedyPaper mostly works with ESL essay writers.

I’ve had some experience with SpeedyPaper, a well-known online essay writing service. They’re pretty good at what they do, focusing on quick turnarounds and maintaining quality. Their services are broad, covering everything from essay writing and proofreading to solving complex problems and even crafting dissertations.

Their pricing is straightforward: starting at $9 for a basic 275-word piece, it can climb to $99 for an urgent six-hour deadline task. For example, a three-page research paper needed in six hours costs $96, but if you give them 24 hours, the price drops to $75.

SpeedyPaper also offers free essay samples on a variety of subjects like Law, Psychology, and Finance, which is a real lifesaver if you’re trying to write a paper on your own and have some time to spare.

The general consensus online seems to agree that SpeedyPaper is reliable and steady—qualities you want in a professional paper writing service that handles your academic needs. They don’t try to dazzle with flashy gimmicks, they just consistently deliver solid work.

From my interactions, the importance of clear communication is clear. When you place an order, you’ll work directly with a writer. It’s crucial to give them all the details up front to ensure the final product meets your expectations. This can really smooth out the whole process.

And while there are loads of glowing reviews on their main page, take it with a grain of salt—no essay writing service online can please everyone, and it’s normal for there to be a mix of opinions.

But if you need a reliable service without over-the-top pricing, SpeedyPaper might just do the trick. They seem to manage well by hiring competent and experienced writers in regions where the cost of living is lower, benefiting everyone involved.

4.  EssayPro  — Best College Paper Writing Service

essay writing.org

Good quality, great value for money;

Unlike other sites on this list, EssayPro allows you to choose the best essay writer yourself by browsing through dozens of writers’ profiles;

Direct communication with the chosen professional;

Free essay originality report available.

Finding an online essay writer for your task can be a time-consuming process.

I recently used EssayPro, an essay writing service that really stands out because of its commitment to quality and originality in everything from college essays to academic research. It’s a great help for students who need support with writing, rewriting, editing, or proofreading their assignments.

EssayPro is a cheap essay writing service that serves students across all academic levels, as well as professionals looking for quick, reliable results. Their team includes specialized professionals with diverse expertise, ensuring that every paper is expertly handled.

You can pick your own essay writer, chat directly with them, and place orders at reasonable prices. They promise a stress-free process with top-notch customer support and deliver quality work fast—sometimes in as little as six hours.

Additionally, EssayPro offers a range of services like case studies, dissertations, and business plans, among others. They provide unique perks like a free originality report, guaranteed anonymity, 24/7 support, and unlimited revisions.

From my experience, what really sets them apart is their transparent approach. You can view detailed profiles of their essay writers online and choose who you want to work with based on a flexible bidding system. This flexibility extends to their pricing, making it easier to work within your budget—unless you’re after the most sought-after professional essay writers, as their fees can go up with demand.

If you’re good at academic writing and looking for freelance opportunities, EssayPro might be worth considering. They manage to keep their rates competitive by handling a large volume of work.

The design of the website is clear and easy to navigate, with a pleasing aesthetic and a straightforward interface. It’s definitely a reliable choice for anyone needing academic writing help.

5.  ExpertWriting  — Best for Discounts and Bonuses

essay writing.org

Reasonable price, good quality;

Great discounts for regular customers, good choice for resellers.

The company doesn’t clearly communicate the fact that some disciplines can cost more than others;

Customer service couldn’t be more responsive.

I’ve used ExpertWriting for various academic assignments, and I’ve found it to be a reliable service. This platform offers a variety of academic writing services, including essay writing, research papers, term papers, and coursework, as well as editing and proofreading to improve your essays.

The process is straightforward. You submit your assignment details, and they quote a rate. If you agree, you gain access to their pool of essay writers and editors who can assist with your writing needs. You’ll receive your completed work by the deadline you set.

ExpertWriting is known for being affordable, which is great for students on a budget. They are often recommended on platforms like Reddit as a cost-effective option without compromising on quality. They also offer discounts for bulk orders, which can help save even more.

I’d particularly recommend ExpertWriting if you’re pressed for time. We’ve all been there—needing to complete a solid piece of academic work in a rush. While their prices go up for tighter deadlines, they manage them well. For example, they can deliver work in as little as three hours, though for more complex papers, more time will naturally be required.

However, it’s wise not to expect miracles for extremely short deadlines, especially for lengthy papers. For a more realistic turnaround, an eight-hour deadline is doable for them without sacrificing the quality too much.

Pricing on ExpertWriting is reasonable. For a less urgent two-week deadline, you’ll pay around $11 per page, which can increase depending on the urgency, academic level, and length of your paper. This is pretty standard across most professional writing services.

Lastly, they don’t just handle essays. You can get help with almost any type of academic writing, including research proposals, creative writing assignments, cover letters, and literature reviews. It’s a versatile platform that can meet various academic needs.

6.  ExtraEssay  — Best Customer Service

essay writing.org

Affordable prices and good quality;

Free, unlimited revisions for 10 days after order delivery;

Exceptional customer service, the customer support team is always ready to help anytime.

Sometimes ExtraEssay fails to meet customers’ deadlines.

I’ve been turning to ExtraEssay for my academic writing needs for a couple of years now, and they’ve been a reliable resource ever since they started up about seven years ago. Their focus is clear—they prioritize attention to detail, reliability, and professionalism.

They offer a broad spectrum of about 20 services, primarily catering to students. You can get anything from basic essays to more specialized documents like resumes and cover letters, all tailored to meet your needs.

What really sets ExtraEssay apart for me is their competitive pricing. It’s rare to find such affordable rates without compromising on quality. The essays and support you receive are absolutely top-tier. Speaking of support, their customer service is remarkable. I’ve had several interactions with their team, and each time they were exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable.

Navigating their website is a breeze too. The homepage is packed with useful information, making it easy for anyone to understand their offerings right off the bat. From a handy price calculator to detailed descriptions of the ordering process, everything is laid out to ensure a smooth user experience.

They don’t just cater to experienced users, and newcomers will find themselves comfortably making their way through the site. They’ve also detailed essential features like free revisions and continuous customer support, which have been lifesavers for me on more than one occasion.

With thousands of clients each year and an 85% return rate, it’s clear they’re doing something right. Their commitment to their customers really shows through in every aspect of their service.

7.  GradeMinders  — Best for Quick Turnaround

essay writing.org

Reputable company, solid and consistent quality;

The fastest college essay service on the market (1-hour turnaround time available);

Finding a writer during crunch season might be time-consuming.

GradeMiners is more expensive than most essay writing sites in the industry.

I’ve been using GradeMiners for a while now, and I have to say, they offer a solid service at a fair price. A high school essay runs about $16 per page, and a college paper is $18 per page. They offer a wide array of professional academic writing services beyond just essays; you can get help with everything from presentations and book reviews to lab reports and dissertations.

The process is straightforward: you go to their website, pick your subject, set your deadline, and the professional writers take it from there. They assure that your paper will be completely original and plagiarism-free, which is crucial.

One of the standout features is their speedy delivery. If you’re pressed for time, you can get a college paper done within an hour—as long as it’s not too long. This frees you up to concentrate on other things that might need more of your attention or are more appealing to you.

8. EssayTerritory — Best New Essay Writing Company

essay writing.org

Good quality, fair price;

Great loyalty program, good choice for students who are looking to use this site regularly;

Exceptional customer service.

No sample essays available;

Plagiarism report doesn’t come for free;

Expensive extras.

I recently tried out EssayTerritory, a new but promising college paper writing service. It was easy to find an essay writer that matched my specific needs, and the platform has a roster of over 800 active paper writers. They’ve already completed more than 1300 orders, which is impressive for a newcomer.

What stands out most about EssayTerritory is their 98% satisfaction rate. It seems they really know how to please their customers, as about 85% of users return for more academic papers. They offer a plagiarism-free guarantee like many top essay writing services, and they’ll give you a full refund if they miss your deadline or if your work contains plagiarism.

You can order various assignments from them—essays, research papers, case studies, term papers, dissertations, and even help with presentations or speeches if that’s what you need. They also provide proofreading and editing services.

Privacy and confidentiality are top priorities for them. They ensure that every “write my essay” request is kept anonymous and your personal details are secure. They have robust measures in place to prevent any data leaks. This level of security gave me a lot of confidence in using their essay writer service.

FAQs About Best Paper Writing Services

Should i trust essay writing service reviews.

Trusting essay writing service reviews can be tricky. Unfortunately, some companies that offer a custom essay writing service also operate fake review sites to maintain a positive online reputation. This means you need to be cautious about where you look for reviews.

For more reliable information, it’s better to use independent review platforms like SiteJabber and Reviews.io. These sites are generally more trustworthy because they’re not directly affiliated with any essay writing services.

However, even with these platforms, it’s wise to approach reviews with a critical eye. Some dedicated essay writing review sites might have biases or hidden motives, so take their recommendations with skepticism and always cross-reference multiple sources if possible.

How long does it take to have my essay written for me?

Essay writers generally focus on producing high-quality work, and the time it takes to write an essay largely depends on its length. For a standard 275-word essay, the average turnaround is about 3 hours. Most essay writing services strive to meet these deadlines consistently.

If you’re in a rush and your deadline is just a few hours away, you can opt for a premium service. This usually involves having several top-rated writers collaborate to deliver your essay in about half the standard time.

It’s worth noting that the best college paper writing services might experience delays during peak times when demand is high. Typically, they recommend giving writers at least six hours to complete an essay. If you’re willing to pay extra, your order can be prioritized to ensure a faster delivery.

For more complex assignments like thesis papers or extensive research projects, the process can take up to five days. Writers often submit a partial draft by the second day for client feedback, allowing any revisions to be included in the final submission by day five.

Will my essay be written by a professional essay writer?

Picking a reliable essay writing website is crucial for ensuring the safety, confidentiality, and quality of the service.

When hiring writers, most companies put them through a rigorous vetting process. They typically require that writers have native or near-native proficiency in the language they’ll be writing in, along with a relevant degree from an accredited university.

Once hired, these writers undergo further training on the platform to polish their linguistic and formatting skills. They only start working on actual assignments once their writing meets the company’s professional standards.

The best writing services take extra steps to maintain high-quality standards. For example, every piece of work is checked by a moderator before it goes to the client. Writers are also provided with ongoing opportunities to enhance their skills within the company’s supportive environment.

The person who is labeled as a premium paper writer often has more experience and higher qualifications, like a Ph.D., and at least two years of writing experience. While their services cost a bit more, the quality they deliver usually makes the investment worthwhile.

Is using a paper writing service confidential and safe?

The internet is a vast resource where people often share their knowledge, which is a huge help, especially for college students working on their homework. It’s also completely legal and secure to purchase essays and custom papers online if you need them. However, it’s crucial to choose a reputable provider to avoid issues like plagiarism or low-quality work, which could waste your time, money, and effort.

I’ve found that doing your homework on these services is essential. Make sure to look at the company’s refund policy in case you’re not satisfied with their work, and confirm that they’ll keep your school’s name confidential. It’s also a good idea to check reviews of their past work to see if it’s well-written and structurally sound.

From my experience, as long as you do this research beforehand, buying essays online can be a safe option that keeps your details private. Just be vigilant to avoid scams.

What if I’m not satisfied with my paper?

Most top-rated essay writing companies strive to deliver excellent quality, because they want their customers to come back. They have skilled writers who are well-versed in various academic tasks, including essays, lab reports, and research papers. They work hard to produce top-quality work.

If there are any issues with the finished product, these services usually offer free revisions until you’re satisfied with the quality. Client satisfaction is a high priority for these companies, driven by stiff market competition. The goal is to deliver a flawless paper that helps you achieve a high grade.

What are the main drawbacks of using essay writing services?

For many students, using essay writing services is considered a luxury, primarily because the reputable ones that offer great reviews, unlimited revisions, and maintain confidentiality tend to be more expensive. Opting for cheap essay writing services often means risking quality and reliability, especially when it comes to meeting deadlines.

Plagiarism is another serious issue. Both intentional and unintentional plagiarism can occur, particularly with services that don’t carefully vet their writers. Sometimes, clients don’t discover the plagiarism until it’s too late to rewrite the paper and meet their deadline.

Moreover, if an essay writing company lacks a quality control team, the work submitted by writers might be subpar, filled with typos and grammatical errors. Some writers might also resist feedback, making it hard to get the necessary revisions to ensure the essay meets your standards.

Who will write my work and what determines the price?

Your assignment will be handled by writers with diverse backgrounds. Some are full-time professionals dedicated solely to writing, while others are former academics who’ve embraced the flexibility of working from home. There are also those who write as a side job.

Regarding pricing, we’ve discussed the main factors in our article: the length of the assignment, its complexity, and the deadline. Another element influencing cost is the location of the company. Businesses based in regions like Eastern Europe, North Africa, and Central Asia often have lower rates because the cost of living is lower there, making the dollar stretch further.

Really good app! Better than a lot of AIs out there. It’s respectful and down to earth while also being more… human. It feels like it has so much potential. I just wish it could write more words.

Happy to write the first review

So this helps create an essay on any topic you want. But not really an essay. It just writes a short paragraph that is mostly less than 100 words. It would be 5 stars if it actually wrote an essay. My suggestion is to add a feature to choose how many words it is from like, 10 words to 3000 or something. Overall, it’s a pretty great app, just doesn’t write a fully flushed essay,

Developer Response ,

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We have made some adjustments according to your feedback. Now the users can select from 100 to 350 words. With that being said, we do have technological constraints to write a 3000 words essay. We hope it can be done in near future.
I write stories a lot and a lot of plots I have for one chapter isn’t available on other Ai apps and I’m just glad I found this app :>

Jamaica teen takes top prize in NYPD essay-writing contest

jamaica

Tina Perumal, 18, bested 300 teens vying for an award in the Police Athletic League-NYPD annual essay competition. She snagged the prestigious NYPD Commander Award, one of a handful of NYPD awards for essay writing.  The contest was open to all New York City students in grades 9-12.

Perumal was honored on Tuesday during the Police Commissioner for a Day Ceremony. Her essay was noteworthy since it was based on the concept of her being appointed police commissioner, where she used the high-ranking position to bring together a task force to combat child neglect.

Perumal said the essay was inspired by a close friend who went through a traumatic childhood experience, which prompted her to focus on the topic. “My essay was basically helping to bring back child safety and bring attention to the child safety that doesn’t really get looked at or recognized,” she said. 

Perumal, a senior at Martin Van Buren High School , plans to attend John Jay College of Criminal Justice in the fall. She grew up watching shows such as “Law and Order” and other crime series, and now plans to be a police officer. “That’s where my mind and my heart has always been set on,” she said. “I just also want to help everybody around me and just protect everyone.”

When she is not spending time writing award-winning essays, Perumal works as an administrative intern at Life Camp’s Creative Arts Lab . She has been working with the organization since 2022 and oversees middle and elementary school students in the program. Perumal said her time working at Life Camp has inspired her to expand her own world view.

“They provide a lot of opportunities for you to get yourself out there. To be something you never saw yourself becoming or changing yourself that you never saw yourself changing to be,” she said. Currently, Perumal is working with staff on raising funds for a trip to Six Flags so they can celebrate the work they have done at the Creative Arts Lab over the past two years.

Life Camp’s mission is to provide youth and families in Southeast Queens impacted by gun violence with tools to stay in school and out of the criminal justice system. The organization offers programs to affected youngsters and their families as part of the initiative.

The Creative Arts Lab is a program sponsored by Life Camp targeting youth aged 12-24. The lab offers educational programs focused on arts education including DJing, composition and recording, theater, dance, painting and an array of other artistic mediums.

NPR editor Uri Berliner resigns with blast at new CEO

David Folkenflik 2018 square

essay writing.org

Uri Berliner resigned from NPR on Wednesday saying he could not work under the new CEO Katherine Maher. He cautioned that he did not support calls to defund NPR. Uri Berliner hide caption

Uri Berliner resigned from NPR on Wednesday saying he could not work under the new CEO Katherine Maher. He cautioned that he did not support calls to defund NPR.

NPR senior business editor Uri Berliner resigned this morning, citing the response of the network's chief executive to his outside essay accusing NPR of losing the public's trust.

"I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years," Berliner wrote in an email to CEO Katherine Maher. "I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism. But I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cite in my Free Press essay."

NPR and Maher declined to comment on his resignation.

The Free Press, an online site embraced by journalists who believe that the mainstream media has become too liberal, published Berliner's piece last Tuesday. In it, he argued that NPR's coverage has increasingly reflected a rigid progressive ideology. And he argued that the network's quest for greater diversity in its workforce — a priority under prior chief executive John Lansing – has not been accompanied by a diversity of viewpoints presented in NPR shows, podcasts or online coverage.

Later that same day, NPR pushed back against Berliner's critique.

"We're proud to stand behind the exceptional work that our desks and shows do to cover a wide range of challenging stories," NPR's chief news executive, Edith Chapin, wrote in a memo to staff . "We believe that inclusion — among our staff, with our sourcing, and in our overall coverage — is critical to telling the nuanced stories of this country and our world."

Yet Berliner's commentary has been embraced by conservative and partisan Republican critics of the network, including former President Donald Trump and the activist Christopher Rufo.

Rufo is posting a parade of old social media posts from Maher, who took over NPR last month. In two examples, she called Trump a racist and also seemed to minimize the effects of rioting in 2020. Rufo is using those to rally public pressure for Maher's ouster, as he did for former Harvard University President Claudine Gay .

Others have used the moment to call for the elimination of federal funding for NPR – less than one percent of its roughly $300 million annual budget – and local public radio stations, which derive more of their funding from the government.

Berliner reiterated in his resignation letter that he does not support such calls.

In a brief interview, he condemned a statement Maher issued Friday in which she suggested that he had questioned "whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity." She called that "profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning."

Berliner subsequently exchanged emails with Maher, but she did not address those comments.

"It's been building up," Berliner said of his decision to resign, "and it became clear it was on today."

For publishing his essay in The Free Press and appearing on its podcast, NPR had suspended Berliner for five days without pay. Its formal rebuke noted he had done work outside NPR without its permission, as is required, and shared proprietary information.

(Disclosure: Like Berliner, I am part of NPR's Business Desk. He has edited many of my past stories. But he did not see any version of this article or participate in its preparation before it was posted publicly.)

Earlier in the day, Berliner forwarded to NPR editors and other colleagues a note saying he had "never questioned" their integrity and had been trying to raise these issues within the newsroom for more than seven years.

What followed was an email he had sent to newsroom leaders after Trump's 2016 win. He wrote then: "Primarily for the sake of our journalism, we can't align ourselves with a tribe. So we don't exist in a cocoon that blinds us to the views and experience of tens of millions of our fellow citizens."

Berliner's critique has inspired anger and dismay within the network. Some colleagues said they could no longer trust him after he chose to publicize such concerns rather than pursue them as part of ongoing newsroom debates, as is customary. Many signed a letter to Maher and Edith Chapin, NPR's chief news executive. They asked for clarity on, among other things, how Berliner's essay and the resulting public controversy would affect news coverage.

Yet some colleagues privately said Berliner's critique carried some truth. Chapin also announced monthly reviews of the network's coverage for fairness and diversity - including diversity of viewpoint.

She said in a text message earlier this week that that initiative had been discussed long before Berliner's essay, but "Now seemed [the] time to deliver if we were going to do it."

She added, "Healthy discussion is something we need more of."

Disclosure: This story was reported and written by NPR Media Correspondent David Folkenflik and edited by Deputy Business Editor Emily Kopp and Managing Editor Gerry Holmes. Under NPR's protocol for reporting on itself, no NPR corporate official or news executive reviewed this story before it was posted publicly.
