As discussed some time back I am doing a thesis on essay writing companies. As part of my research I applied to some of the alleged reputable companies as well as some of the listed dodgy ones. I have recently had a few replies since essay season is hotting up and thought it would be good to share with you all the communications I have recently had with essayacademy.co.uk. This should hearten your desire to give this company as wide a berth as possible.
When applying I told the company that my areas of speciality are UK law and criminology since I hold a degree in these areas. Their first reply asked if I could do a test essay on finance. I reiterated that this was not an area that I specialise in so please send a test essay in the subjects mentioned. They then sent me a test essay on arbitration and conciliation in Australia. I pointed out to them that Australian law was not the same as UK law and therefore I would not be fully equipped to undertake such a topic. Below is my email to them and their reply
my email to them
I can write on any aspect of UK law as that was my major at university. I can also do criminology which is universal (Most sources for this are american). On these topics I can guarantee quality work and have many textbooks and access to articles for these areas.
I have on occasion done psychology papers, and have access to textbooks as my daughter is studying this.
If you do not have any work in my areas of speciality then I guess you cannot offer me any work. I would noy be happy trying to tackle a subject i am unfamiliar with as i could not guarantee the quality of the work nor whether it was the standard required by the customer.
Many companies get writers to write on any topic regardless of whether the writer has any experience in those areas or not. I feel that it is wrong for a writer to try to write on a topic in which they have no formal qualifications as the work is likely to be inferior.

Hi,
Thanks for your replay, we thought that you get wrong idea.
When you are studying in university, the most benefit you get is how to learn by yourself by some research,
Which means the learning skill, not the skill you have learnt, when you work for the company, the skill you got in university is not enough for the need from the job.
For your application, you have to prove your ability to us, not ask us to provide your favorite test question,
Anyway, we are happy to provide that specific test question for you, but you know, the order is based on the
Market, if you only can cover small area, there are few people need the law and criminology, most of the law and criminology essays come from Australia, even this is your major at university, but you cannot write the topic.
We just suggest that you can improve your skill to suit for the market, not the market suit for you, if you really want to make money.
Even if you have passed our test, but we know the market more than you. We have to know the your writing and research capability, if you can not finish the Australia test question provided before, we have to say sorry that we can not deal with you.
Regards
EssayAcademy.co.uk
I have since replied back to them tonight as below
Hi there
I certainly did not get the wrong idea. Yes you learn research skills at university, however, you do not go out and buy text books on every topic going and so therefore you do not have the academic resources to be able to write on other topics.
I find it alarming that you have writers that write on topics that they have no experience in. How can you guarantee quality. It would be like asking Hans Christian Anderson to write War and Peace. I doubt he would have been able to make a succesful job of it.
I guess this means that we wont be doing business.
As for being successful in writing I have been writing for customers for the last 4 years earning almost £20,000 per year. I think that is fairly successful. As for lack of customers, in the UK there are stacks of students studying law and criminology and many requiring assistance. I have been doing online tutoring for 2 years and have 15 private students who I assist. I was only applying in order to increase my workload and thought that you were running a reputable company. However, your suggestion that a writer can write on ANY topic is ludicrous and your grammar is appalling. I sincerely hope the quality of the work you supply is of a much higher standard.
I could not agree to work for a company that would pretend to a customer that an expert in that field had written the essay when I have no expertise in Australian law, business management or finance.
Anyway thought I would share this with you all as a warning that certain sites do not care whether their writers are qualified or not.

Essayacademy.co.uk is NOT a legitimate site, so your test is meaningless.

I didn't claim it was a legitimate site if you read the post correctly. I said I had written to supposedly legitimate ones AS well as some dodgy ones. This I believe falls into the latter category as you can see from my replies to them etc.
With the appalling grammar comment I would have thought it was obvious that I was inferring that this company is dodgy
especially since i said

before posting the communication with them. I just wanted to point out how bad the company is. Thought you would welcome such criticism lol

Apparently, China. The registered owner is "Feng Zhou."
