Gather 'round because this is a WILD ride. Last year I was broke (as usual) and desperate (as usual) and fell for one of those too-good-to-be-true essay writing service ads on Instagram. You know the ones. "A+ guaranteed!" "PhD writers!" "50% off first order!" All the red flags. 
I paid $180 for a 10-page paper. What I got was 7 pages of complete nonsense written by someone who clearly spoke English as a fourth language and had definitely never taken a psychology class in their life. Sentences didn't make sense. Sources didn't exist. I'm pretty sure one paragraph was just... recipe instructions? For pasta? I wish I was joking.
I was furious. And broke. And still had a paper due.
But here's the plot twist. I'm an English major with editing experience. I've been helping friends with papers for years. So I thought... what if I started my OWN essay writing service but like... a good one? One that actually helps students? One that's honest about what it does?
So I did. With a friend who's a comp sci major (for the website). We don't write papers for people. That feels wrong. Instead we offer editing, proofreading, outlining, and tutoring. We help students make THEIR writing better instead of replacing it. We're upfront about everything. We charge actual reasonable prices. And we've helped like 40 students this semester alone.
The irony of getting scammed by a service and then starting my own is not lost on me. If you're looking for actual help without the sketchiness, there ARE good options out there. They're just usually not the ones with the flashy Instagram ads.
