How are the prices for content calculated?

We have three order forms: Crowd, Standard and Premium. Standard orders offer a fixed rate per word, that varies with the star rating of the writers. Premium Orders offer optional bonus payment for challenging orders that may require research or have greater exposure and impact on your business. Crowd Orders offer a 10% discount on Standard pricing, and orders are sent to writers first-come, first-serve.

You determine the order form that's best for the project. And you always control the price you're willing to pay. You also select the minimum and maximum amount of words for an order. Prices are then calculated as a combination of the writer level and word count.

Explain your pricing transparency?

Writers earn 70% of the client pay for any and all orders. Full transparency of prices help us attract the best writers and best clients. Writers, Customers, Readers—Everybody loves WriterAccess!

Do you check content for duplication and plagiarism?

Yes. All articles are automatically scanned for copyright infringement using Copyscape. All detections are listed for review and verification, and our quality team may reject any content before it is sent to you.

Can a writer sell the same article to several clients?

No. All content must be completely new and original. Any violations by writers will result in immediate termination. Our technology helps to detect any duplicate content submissions by writers.

What type of content and writing can I order at WriterAccess?

Can I create a list of favorite writers and keep using them?

Yes indeed. Create as many lists as you want and need. We call these favorites Love Lists. All the writers you add to any list will become your "Master Love List." But you may also have numerous "Love Lists" for groups of writers or even one writer. When you place your orders, you can select one of your Love Lists or even Master Love List and send the order to the writers or writer on that list. Writers pick up orders first-come, first-served, with only one writer responsible for that order.
