I am an editor and would probably bother to give "valuable, constructive feedback." It would get lost in a sea of insane attacks, though.

There are lots of people who help students with essays on an hourly basis.


I’ve done it. Send a rough draft that your kid prob won’t use. Have them revise it for $149 to see what the service is like?

While I get the sarcasm, do not post an essay on any public forum or search engines will view it as a plagiarized writing.

Just use AI to organize your ideas into a workable first draft and then rewrite in your own words.

AI is discouraged and can be spotted pretty easily.

With AI, are they necessary anymore? Between Co pilot, ChatGPT and others like Writesonic I think even the shell of an idea could be molded into a good essay.

Do people use these services? It seems shady at first but given all the other things people do like starting non-profits for their kids to clean up a stream in the jungles of Uganda, donating a lot of money, Varsity Blues, and who knows what else I guess it all falls on a spectrum.

So just being real and without judgment since we're all anon here I wanted to ask if anyone successfully used such services and which one?
