Six steps from an empty order form to a finished paper — and the two rules that trip people up: what counts as a page, and when the clock starts.
1. Describe the paper
Open the order form and set the paper type, subject, academic level, length, deadline and quality tier. The price moves as you change any of them, so you can trade a shorter deadline against a longer paper and watch what it does before committing. Your academic level sets the per-page rate, and the quality tier — Standard, Premium or Platinum — adds its surcharge on top.
2. Give the writer the brief
Paste the assignment prompt in full rather than summarizing it, and upload whatever you were given: the rubric, the reading list, lecture slides, an outline your tutor approved, a draft you have started. Say which citation style is required — APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, Turabian, Oxford, Vancouver or CSE — and how many sources are expected. Nearly every revision request we see traces back to something that was in the customer's head but not in the brief.
3. Pay, and the clock starts
A writer is assigned once payment clears, and that is the moment your deadline starts running. An order sitting unpaid is not being written. If you pay late, the delivery date shifts with the payment, and the order form will offer you the new date rather than quietly keeping the old one.
4. How pages and deadlines fit together
One page is 275 words double-spaced, or 550 words single-spaced. If your brief is in words, divide by 275 and round up.
Deadlines run from 3 hours to two months depending on the paper type, and the form caps how many pages it accepts at each one — a person is writing this, and short deadlines leave less room. The cap widens as the deadline lengthens. Pick the deadline first, and if the length you need does not fit, the form tells you before payment rather than after.
5. Follow the work — and talk to the writer
Everything happens in your account: order status, the message thread with your writer, file uploads, and the delivered files. Send materials as they arrive, ask how the argument is shaping up, or flag a change of requirements early. Where the deadline is long enough, you can ask for a draft partway through so nothing is a surprise at the end. Support is on the same thread, around the clock, and at [email protected].
6. Download, review, revise
The finished paper appears in your account and an email tells you it is there. Read it against your brief while there is time to act: revisions are free within 14 days of first delivery, extended to 30 days for dissertations, theses, research proposals, thesis proposals and dissertation chapters. Point to the instruction that was missed and the same writer normally handles it. What falls inside and outside that promise — including refunds — is set out on our guarantees and in the Terms.
Choosing your writer
The first order is matched for you on subject and on the quality tier you selected. After that, a writer you got on with can be requested by name on later orders from your account, subject to their availability at the deadline and tier you need. How writers are recruited and tested is described on our writers.
Frequently asked questions
When does my deadline start?
When your payment clears. The writer is assigned at that point, so an order placed and left unpaid is not being worked on — the countdown you see in your account begins at payment, not at submission.
How many pages is my word count?
One page is 275 words double-spaced or 550 words single-spaced, which is how most departments count. If your brief is given in words, divide by 275 and round up; the order form does the same arithmetic as you type.
Why can't I order 40 pages in 24 hours?
Because one person has to write them. The form caps pages per deadline — the tighter the deadline, the lower the cap — and raises the cap as you give the writer more time. If your length does not fit the deadline you picked, the form says so before you pay.
Can I add materials after I have ordered?
Yes. Upload lecture slides, a rubric, a reading list or a draft to the order at any time from your account, and message the writer to point out what matters in them. The earlier they arrive, the more they shape the work.
How do I get the finished paper?
It appears in your account for download, and you get an email when it is ready. Nothing else is needed at your end.
What if something needs changing?
Request a revision from the order within 14 days of first delivery — 30 days for dissertations, theses, research proposals, thesis proposals and dissertation chapters. Say which instruction was missed and the same writer normally takes it back.
