My experience with this website is positive. I am quite satisfied with an option to work part-time and earn for my living once I need it. Easy-going platform interface, comfortable conditions and rules. Like their orders and the way they provide info and support.
I have completed all the tests and submitted education certificates. In a few days, their manager, Angelina, contacted me and requested a photo of my passport. Even though it is not a governmental position, but an illegal ghostwriting service, they still require numerous documents. The next day, Angelina rejected my application, stating 'experienced managers found the document is altered.' However, my document is absolutely legal and can be checked via official checkers. Angelina refused to provide an explanation. When I offered an official governmental check of my document to prove its authenticity, Angelina disappeared. I found: 1. The company is illegal and gathers documents for illegal purposes. NEVER send them your docs. 2. They operate under FAKE names! Just check their LinkedIn profile: the location is Ukraine, the registration address is Cyprus, while they claim to be from the UK. 3. AVOID them; otherwise, they will steal your documents. The screenshots of illegal Angelina's activity are attached
Over my freelance career, I've worked on many platforms such as Writezillas, Uvocorp, Academia Research and others. Safe to say, I haven't logged in to those in years now, but go to WriterBay every day. There are certainly some drawbacks to the WriterBay system, but trust me, those are absolutely forgivable in the light of the perks you get. I have never in my 4 year membership with them been treated unfairly by the support team. They always resolved any misunderstandings I had with the clients in a polite and timely manner. I have never seen a monthly payment be delayed. I have never experienced any shortage in assigned orders, not even during low seasons. I trust this platform and I am proud to say that I am a PRO writer with hundreds of approved orders and positive feedback and would recommended WriterBay to any academic freelancer who is looking for a steady and trustworthy income.
Support staff was very nice, but I can't continue working there. The interface is full of technical errors that made it look like all of my submissions were late. In some cases, the lateness was due to the admin not reading my messages - revision requests were copied and pasted to me after I already made edits, as if I didn't do anything. Also, as someone living in the U.S., the payment is really low. CPP for most orders is like $5, so the only ones worth it are the urgent ones. Even the urgent ones will only bring the CPP up to an acceptable price.
Hundreds of orders are available, which is a plus, but the automated interface really makes the site impossible to work for. It may make sense to be a writer if you're from a non-English speaking country, but that is ironic given that the work is in English.
Thank you for the review on our service, Cheryl. The system can be slightly confusing for a new writer; however, we provide personal mentors and system guidelines for you to know how everything works.
We would like to get to know more about the issue you have encountered and make sure you’re treated fairly. Please, share it with us at manager@writerbay.com or contact us via Help Desk.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day.
Very detailed and meticulous application and/or registration process which indicates a commitment to quality from Writerbay. Yet to hear back from them. Nonetheless, I'm very pleased with the app. Process so far. Interactive and user-friendly interface/website that's seamless to use when applying.

Dear Kevin, thank you a lot for your comment! In case you have any questions, please contact us via support@writerbay.com
My name is Max and I have been working for year. I asked them to delete my account since I had to apply for a new job and move out. That was a half a year before. But I had splendid experience with this company, though was fined several times for lateness :( Actually, it is a good freelancing job that absorbs and implements your attempts to gain new skills and more experience with writing process. Sometimes such skills can be inevitable and vital. I didn't have any negative experience with them. Though I am not a native speaker. My friend is still working for them and receives big projects. I didn't take them, because they looked terrifying lol. Well, it's cool opportunity to earn some good stuff! :)
Thank you for your positive feedback, Max. We appreciate your experience in our company and glad to know that your friend is still working with us. Please be informed that you can come back to us anytime you want. Management will review your performance and will update you. Big orders have their own specific some do not force our writers to take them. If you feel that you have enough skills and abilities to take it, your application will be highly appreciated any time. We still hope to see you in our team soon. If you feel that you have time to devote yourself to the writing process, please contact us via email which is manager@writerbay.com.
It's a remote job and this was exactly what I needed during the pandemic times. Now world slowly but surely comes back to the normal life. But anyway, this is still my part time job. Thank you Writerbay for providing such needed remove job opportunities for the people around the globe
Dear Tuulia, thank you so much for your comment! If you have any questions, please visit the HelpDesk! Have a nice day!
It was a thesis supply chain management order from my previous client. He liked my attempt at the theoretical part of the thesis and asked me to write the rest. He also told me that I can have more than 20 days so I was fortunate enough not to worry about the approaching deadline. I was asked to add more to the conclusion and my client offered to add more pages to which I agreed. She later sent me a generous tip and I am infinitely grateful. All in all, it was a very successful order for me.
Tip for consumers:
I would love to work on more similar tasks.
Dear Lucas,
Thank you for reviewing our service. We are pleased to hear that you have had a great experience with your thesis order. Your nearly flawless performance and cooperation on such an importing order is greatly appreciated. We hope you will have an opportunity to work on similar orders soon, and we are confident you will do your best to nail them.
Do not hesitate to contact us at manager@writerbay.com if you have any questions or concerns.
This is a great company with endless orders during peak and off-peak. Nevertheless, I don't fully support their policies. Unlike other giants like Uvorcorp, writerbay doesn't care when a writer claims to have used the instructions as per the customers. Instead, they end up fining honest writers. This alone can lower it's superiority. I am happy to work there.
We appreciate you taking your time to leave a review about your experience with our company. We also regret to hear that your experience has not been pleasant lately.
We would like to get to know more about the issue you have encountered and provide our assistance. We strive to ensure that our employees are satisfied with their working environment and will do our best to resolve the issue and re-consider the fines if necessary. Please contact us at manager@writerbay.com
I was once employed by Writerbay.com and unfortunately got my account terminated. Its quite sad for me to view such negative reviews about this site yet I can attest that they provide writers with enough chances to redeem themselves. I deserved my termination because of some obvious issues, and I am sure that most of those complaining had faults too. The pay is a bit low, but to avoid such, bid for the extra urgent orders. On to the advantages, the support team is amazing, particularly Courtney, Shelby, Ryan, Tim and Scarlett just to name a few. I cannot wait for my year to end so that I can apply and hopefully be a part of the Writerbay team again. Joe Nduthu
Thank you for your positive feedback, Joe.
We sincerely hope that you can reflect upon your performance and improve your skills in order to become an outstanding academic freelancer. Please, keep in mind that you can reapply in one year from the day your account was terminated.
We wish you the best success in all your endeavors.
Best regards
WriterBay is one of those shady content farms where you never know who you are dealing with or the nature/logic of any of the rules they try to enforce on you as a writer. I cut my association with them very quickly when I kept getting emails from differently named people who all sounded the same and, in response to any question on my part, kept answering that they can't do things any differently because it's their 'official policy'. A terrible waste of time, and you are much, much better off making a profile on a site like elance or odesk and building your own reputation rather than write for these faceless, identity-less, super sketchy folk.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use this site.
Thank you for your feedback, Nickie.
We have our policies available at the main page of our website, so our applicants can access and review the requirements and regulations we have before applying for a position of freelance writer at our company.
The competition in the field of freelancing is high, and one has to maintain a steadily positive performance in order to stay at the top of the game.
Hence, our requirements towards quality are high. We offer 24/7 support, and our writers can communicate with us via chat, phone, messages and e-mails. We have a huge team and offer numerous opportunities to those who can comply with the requirements and build successful cooperation. We are always open to suggestions, concerns and complaints.
We are sorry to hear your experience with us was not pleasant.
We are more than sure we could have addressed your concerns and resolve the matter, had you contacted us and voiced out the issues you had encountered.
Best regards.
Every great company treats its employees with respect and consideration; they're your greatest investment. However, with this in mind, Writerbay is practicing modern slavery with your whole policy thing. Policy is supposed to help improve quality and not as a prosecutor. Even applying for the job is a hassle, it's like they write off all Africans and Asians without even reading the sample essays. You force honest and exemplary competent writers into purchasing accounts because you simply don't allow them in! And when they're in, you serve them peanuts. Protect your investment, and you'll be the greatest. For now, let me continue with my future endeavors as you will wish me. I'll come back when you are ready to work. Say hi to Claire.
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear you did not manage to meet our standards and requirements and have your application with our company approved. Purchasing/selling accounts is strongly prohibited and leads to immediate account termination. We can only assume that your engagement into those fraudulent actions has rendered your application with our company impossible.
Have a nice day.
I am new to this freelance job but their support team is very helpful and reply instantly, even they help you when needed and clarify your doubts, you can reassign your work if there is any situation, support team is very quick and overall I don't know why people are giving bad comments.
We are grateful for your nice review, Goldy! Should you have any questions, just let us know!
I have been writing academic papers for this site for some 3 years and the experience has been very satisfying. There are always enough topics to write on and the compensation is reasonable. The website does not make any unreasonable demands on the writer.
Thanks for your positive review, Balakrishnan. We wish you a lot of inspiration and productiveness!
Should you have any questions, please contact us via HelpDesk and we will gladly help you.
I have been associated with Writerbay since 2015, had many wonderful moments with the company as we writers get a lot of freedom here. It suits my working style as I can evaluate the orders before I can accept the orders, apply for orders that I really like working on, refuse orders that I am not able to work on and talk to the people at the company if I have any issues so that they are amicably resolved. I never had issues with payments even once in all these years. Considering all these, for me, this was the best possible site.
Dear Prasad, we are extremely glad to have such a loyal writer in our team! We wish you a constant professional growth and a lot of productive time ahead!
Should you have any questions, please contact us via HelpDesk.
Quite sure that the website is a perfect place for freelance writing, especially if you are a newcomer in this realm. Here you can grow up as an experienced writes and get many usefull skills for the future
Hello, Q W! We are thankful for your kind words. In case of any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us any time!
Finally they pay twice a month!
As for me, writerbay had only one 'cons' - they paid once a month. Now, I can receive my money 2 times a month and it is more easier for me to cope with my duties.
Writerbay, keep it up!
Dear Walter,
Thank you a lot for sharing your comment! In case you have any suggestions or issues to discuss, you are always welcome to contact us via HelpDesk. Have a prolific time ahead!
Writerbay is undoubtedly the best company for freelancers. They have a tough hiring team so getting an account there is extremely hard. However, once you get an account at Writerbay, you will be the happiest person. Good support, Reliable workflow..
Thank you for such a positive review, Brenda! We do have high standards for our applicants and only the best ones are activated for future work with us.
We are glad to have you in our team and hope for many years of beneficial cooperation to come!
Who is perfect? Who is flawless? No one is free from making mistakes. In my opinion, Writerbay is the best and most secure freelance company I have experienced so far. Is there a second one?
I worked with Writerbay for over one year, and yes, my service was terminated -- my fault. They have a great support team with whom I felt so comfortable communicating. They ensure that they maintain professionalism at all times. I enjoyed the time I worked for them; I learned a lot. Most of all, my writing skills improved. I miss working with them. Without a doubt, after I correct my personal flaws, as long as Writerbay will accept me, I will return to them.
Remember, you reap what you sow. For many of you persons who have rendered those negative comments, examine yourselves. Some of your writings are appalling.
Thank you for your positive feedback, Rosalee.
We appreciate you taking your time to leave a positive review about your experience with our company.
As you have been informed, we give a one-year gap after we terminate our cooperation with a writer due to any reason for termination stated in our Terms of Use. Therefore, we sincerely hope that you will improve the weak sides which led to the termination of our cooperation, and we will gladly review your new application when the time comes.
Meanwhile, we wish you all the best in all your endeavors, Rosalee.
I've had decent experience with my previous order and pretty much everything went like I expected. It was not very complex and did not require a lot of research. It took me 6 pages and 2 days to get it done. There was a slight problem with 2 contradicting sets of instructions and the rubric was not uploaded at first. But support sent me the rubric in about 2 hours and removed the unnecessary instructions.
Dear Jamal,
Thank you sharing your feedback and reviewing our company. We are glad to know that the issue with your order was quickly resolved by our support team.
As we can see, the order in question has already been delivered and approved, however, if you have any additional questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us at manager@writerbay.com.
We wish you only exceptionally successful and fruitful orders in the future.
I signed up with Writerbay around 7 years ago. One of the things that made me stay is the fact that they mostly treated me with respect. There were some isolated cases of snafus but they're few and far between compared to the benefits I've received from them.
Overall, it's a good idea to work with them. They're not perfect yet they don't have to be. Looking forward to working with them some more.
Thank you for sharing your experience, David. We are glad to know that you appreciate the work of our team as we’re doing our best to make our service as comfortable as it is possible.
Looking forward to many more years of mutually beneficial cooperation!
This "site" is in trouble in lots of countries for their scam activities. I was contacted last week to find out my experience with them after they stole money from me. They hide where they are to avoid the law but now it has been exposed. Saw news story about their scam on tv and in paper and told to beware of them. Talked to lots of people who had been scammed and it was a lot. Reporter called them live but they would not talk to him. The lie and say they are in England which is not true and keep 85 percent of order. If you are desperate enough to work for them document everything and save every email and note as they will scam you and you need to be ready. They have over 1200 complaints and get worse every day. Run away from them before they steal from you.
Thank you for the comment, G. R. Please accept our apologies for all the inconveniences you have faced. If you feel you are treated in a not satisfactory way, it is always a good idea to discuss the case with our Management via HelpDesk or by emailing us. We are open to a discussion on the matter and waiting for your version of what happened. By the way, we do not hide; we are available on a 24/7 basis via phone, live-chat, emails, and HelpDesk.
Also, we would request the proofs of the facts mentioned in your review, especially concerning the law being exposed on us. It's quite a surprising information, as we have never known that. As far as we know, our website has never been mentioned in any TV programs or news stories. We would highly appreciate you providing us with valid links to such sources. G. R., maybe, you have described your experience in any other company?
Good luck in all your future endeavors!
I used my quality time trying to apply for a writerbay account. I got 14/15 in grammar and 4/5 in formatting styles. I took my time to follow every process and guess what? I got an email three days later(not even two weeks) that I was not eligible. Crap! I had wasted almost three caluable hours writing sample essays that were never going to be taken into consideration. You know what? Am even thankful I never got an account. I have a friend whose account got terminated with $100. So insanely inhuman!@@@##$$%%^^&&***
Thank you for your feedback, Simon.
We have high standards and carefully review each and every application in order to make sure we accept only professional and experienced freelance writers into our team.
Our HR Department places a great emphasis on checking one's diploma and sample essay to verify that an applicant has at least Bachelor's degree and that their writing skills are up to our standard. In case an applicant provides us with a visibly modified diploma, uploads a sample essay written unprofessionally, or attempts to register multiple accounts on our website at once, such applications get declined.
Moreover, we can deactivate an active writer's account if that writer systematically violates the policies openly listed in our Terms of Use. In this case, we make sure to transfer the money that writer has earned up to date during the payment period.
All our actions are transparent and go in the line with our policies.
We regret to hear the efforts you put into application have not worked out. You are welcome to inquire for more detailed review of your application decline via manager@writerbay.com, and we will provide you with the specific reason of why we could not accept you into our team of writers.
Have a nice day.
Best regards.
Writerbay was an extremely good freelancing portal until Claire joined the team. She will find the most flimsiest reason to deactivate your account or terminate it permanently. She acts like a racist. I have been associated with Writerbay since 2013, and I never had such a harrowing experience until now. I hope she is sacked and thrown out the same way she does it to genuine writers. Writerbay is good, but until she is there, you better find some other portal like writershug.org. I have done exactly that!
Thank you for your feedback.
We have certain requirements towards the freelancers we hire. The requirements are all openly listed in our Terms of Use to which you agreed when registering at our website. In case one does not meet our standards, we are forced to terminate our cooperation.
The only policy we have is our Terms of Use. Claire, just as any other manager, takes into consideration exclusively whether or not one has been following the requirements and standards listed there. We cannot put the quality of our product in jeopardy by allowing our writers to neglect the instructions and overall company's standards systematically.
If you have any other concerns, please feel free to e-mail us at manager@writerbay.com and we will gladly explain the issues that have led to your account termination once again.
We wish you all the best in your future freelance career pursuits.
Allow me provide a review of Writerbay.com. The portal is an original enterprise, which has created its own universe, which is robust and clear cut, once you discover its inner mechanism. I write for Writerbay.com for several years already and I am gradually appreciating and learning on the philosophy behind the system and rules. My performance is getting more and more stable as I comprehend the structures and algorythms behind. Such a complex task of providing new intellectual assets to people, who may be in time distress and who may have very subjective ideas on the content, is indeed a massive and complicated task. Writerbay.com managers do a great job in being able to structure and provide standards in such environment.
Dear Tho M., thank you so much for your kind words. We count ourselves lucky for writers like you!
In case you have any questions or concerns, you're more than welcome to come to our Help Desk. Wish you a productive time ahead!
Writers bay is one excellent company that attracts top notch writers across the globe. Personally, I write for uvorcorp, but I had a privilege to manage this account for a friend of mine who was sick for quite some time. All the orders that I submitted for that period were approved by the clients and no issues came up. However, when I try to open an account with them, I am not always successful. I tend to imagine that Africans gets it difficult to secure these accounts whenever they attempt to apply. We have the potential my friends. We love you very much. We desire to work with you. We believe that you are a great company. Kindly try to be fair to all people when you are approving accounts. Otherwise, you are exceptional and I can admit that!
Thank you for such a positive feedback, Raph. We highly appreciate your desire to work with us. Please be informed that we do not have any prejudices regarding the nationality of our writers. All of the applicants possess equal conditions and approach. We hire writers on competitive manner. At the same time, if you feel that you have enough experience to work with us, enough desire and willing to handle new interesting projects and face new progressive challenges in your freelancing career, you are always welcome to try yourself with Writerbay. We are always glad to have excellent writers in our company, Raph. I wish you good luck with your application and ubiquitous success. If you have any questions, just contact us via email which is manager@writerbay.com.
Even though the support staff tries to be courteous, they are never helpful.
They block my order options every week for the sole reason that I am unable to create a Telegram account (even though I repeat this a hundred times that Telegram is Banned in my country). What is the point of this haste if someone (despite their best efforts) is unable to create a Telegram account?
They don't even reply in a timely manner. It's been four days, and I've been emailing and messaging their Helpdesk. Worst management.
Dear Victoria, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. First of all, let us remind you that by registering at our website, you have agreed to our Terms & Conditions. Being able to use Telegram is one of them.
Secondly, please be sure that Telegram is not banned in your country, as all our writers from Pakistan have successfully installed the application and use them in their work.
Finally, our Managers work business hours meaning that if you contact HelpDesk on Friday evening, you'll receive a reply no sooner than on Monday morning. We hope for your understanding of the fact that multiple requests will not speed it up.
Our Management has already made an exception and granted you access to the orders. We would highly appreciate it if you get acquainted with the rest of our Terms of Use at https://www.writerbay.com/agreements.html. Wish you good luck with the orders!
