Is there a service that can write my essay for me?

Finals are creeping up on me, and I’ve got three essays due in the next week. I’m trying to keep up, but between work, group projects, and life stuff, I don’t think I’ll make it. I’ve seen ads for essay writing services, but I’m skeptical. Are any of them actually legit? Has anyone used one and gotten decent results:unsure:?
 
Yup, I’ve been in your shoes, and EssayPro really helped me out last semester. I had two essays due on back-to-back days, and there was no way I could finish both and keep my sanity. With EssayPro, you can actually browse through writers' profiles and reviews before choosing one, which made me feel more comfortable.

I gave the writer a topic, a rough outline, and even uploaded lecture slides — they incorporated everything. The final product was solid: good structure, relevant arguments, and flawless APA formatting. It cost around $14 per page, and I got it a day early, which gave me time to tweak it before submission. If you're nervous, maybe start with a smaller assignment to test it out. It helped me build trust with the platform.
 
I like EssayPro, but I also want to vouch for PaperHelp. I used them for a bigger project — a 10-page paper on gender roles in advertising. I’d never used a service before that, and I was blown away by the depth of the analysis they delivered. The writer even added charts and visuals I didn’t request but definitely needed.

They reached out after reading my rubric just to clarify my professor's formatting preferences. That level of detail really surprised me. Plus, they used academic databases like JSTOR — not just random blog links like one sketchy site I tried before. I paid about $120 total with a 5-day deadline, and honestly, it felt worth every penny.

Heads up: skip the extra features unless you really need them. The base order itself is usually more than enough if you’re detailed in your instructions.
 
Are there any decent services for broke students juggling deadlines and dollar-menu dinners? I’ve seen ads for 99Papers offering essays for as low as $9 a page. Has anyone tried them? I'm not expecting Ivy League quality, just something passable.

I’ve used 99Papers for smaller assignments. My philosophy response paper turned out okay — nothing extraordinary, but it was clean and followed instructions. You’ll probably want to proofread before turning anything in, but for the price, it’s hard to complain.

If you give them more than 3 days, the results improve. I also paid for the “standard” writer tier instead of basic, which helped a lot. For intro-level courses or general ed stuff, I’d say 99Papers does the job. Just don’t expect deep analysis or flawless transitions unless you’re paying for higher-tier service.
 
I started using these platforms because English isn’t my first language. Even when I had good ideas, I struggled with expressing them clearly. I tried the editing option on EssayPro, and it made a huge difference. They improved my transitions, adjusted sentence flow, and kept the core of my arguments intact.

I once submitted a very rough draft of my media ethics essay, and the revised version came back sounding professional but still “me.” I even asked the writer for feedback on my thesis, and they gave pointers on making it stronger. That made it a learning experience, not just a quick fix.

So, if you’re nervous about full ghostwriting, consider using editing services instead. You stay in control of the work but still get serious polish.
 
Editing is a great middle-ground. I’ve done both — had full essays written and others just edited. The key is to stay involved. When I used PaperHelp to help with a sociology paper, I included all my notes and asked the writer to stick to my professor’s style (who’s super picky about passive voice).

The final version came back solid, but I still made a few changes to the intro to sound more like me. That’s the secret: use it as a draft or blueprint, not a submission-ready doc. And always run it through Grammarly or a plagiarism checker. It only takes a few minutes and gives peace of mind.
 
I learned the hard way that not all services are equal. I tried a super cheap site a friend mentioned (not listed here), and the result was robotic and way off-topic. I couldn’t use it at all. After that, I switched to EssayPro and had a much better experience.

Now I always include a short writing sample with my order so the writer can mimic my tone. I also specify the level — like “sophomore in college” — so the language doesn’t sound like a grad thesis. They’ve been really good at adjusting based on what I give them.
 
I’ve used both GradeMiners and PaperHelp for business and marketing essays. One time, I had a paper that needed to reference recent company campaigns, and the writer from GradeMiners actually went on the brand’s website and pulled updated examples. I was impressed by the attention to detail.

The paper came back with Harvard-style references, headings, and even footnotes (which I hate formatting). I paid around $90 for 6 pages with a 3-day deadline. It wasn’t cheap, but when the topic is technical or research-heavy, it's better to pay more and avoid rewrites.
 
As a mom of two going back to school, I’ll be honest: these services keep me afloat some semesters. I mostly use EssayService.com for my weekly discussion posts and short reflections. They’re consistent and fast, and I love how their support team always replies within minutes.

One time, I submitted a half-written draft and just asked the writer to expand on my ideas. They kept all my references, added two more credible ones, and turned it into a solid 1,200-word piece. I’ve even gotten essays back 12 hours early.

For anyone juggling multiple responsibilities, this kind of help isn’t about slacking — it’s survival. Just make sure you review everything and put your name to work that still reflects you.
 
Do any of you worry about the ethics of this? I mean, I completely understand being swamped — I am too. But I’m also taking a philosophy class right now, and we just had a big debate on academic integrity. I’m genuinely torn. Is it ethical to use writing services?

That’s a fair question, and I’ve struggled with it too. Personally, I think it depends on how you use them. If you treat them as a research assistant or a first draft, you’re still doing the work to shape and learn from the content.

For my thesis, I used EssayPro to help with outlining and source formatting. The final paper still had my arguments, but the foundation was clearer thanks to their help. That felt more like academic support than cheating.

I also think universities don’t talk enough about how different students have different barriers — language, time, accessibility. These services fill gaps the system often ignores.
 
Exactly! These tools can be misused, sure, but so can anything. It’s about how you handle it. I’ve had EssayPro write drafts, but I always rewrite sections to match my voice and adjust citations to fit the materials we used in class. If anything, it teaches me how to structure essays better.

And sometimes, you just need help getting over the hump. Staring at a blank screen at 2 a.m. isn’t productive. Getting a draft to work with lets me hit the ground running — especially when I have 4 other deadlines breathing down my neck.
 
I’m glad this thread exists. I’ve never used one of these services before, but I’ve been considering it. I’m nervous about getting something that sounds nothing like me or worse, is flagged by Turnitin.

For those of you who use these services regularly, have you ever had a professor suspect anything? How do you keep your papers from sounding too polished?

@Emil Hogan That’s actually a great question. I think the trick is to be consistent. If your previous papers had minor grammar issues or a certain tone, you can edit the new paper to match that. I usually tweak the first paragraph and conclusion so it has my usual flow.

You can also request the writer to keep the language simple or “sophomore level,” which helps. If you're working with a reliable platform and stay involved in the process, there’s no reason the paper should raise red flags.
