Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does KingEssays do?
What exactly does KingEssays do?
We write academic papers for students who need help. Could be anything from a basic 5-paragraph essay to a master's thesis. Some students use us when they're drowning in assignments, others when a particular subject makes their brain go fuzzy. Think of us as your academic lifeline when things get messy – like that friend who knows how to fix your car when it makes that weird noise.
Is using your service considered cheating?
Tricky question. We provide reference materials and research assistance. What you do with the paper is ultimately your call. Most of our students use our work as a jumping-off point to understand their topic, or to see proper formatting in action. Some professors actually recommend services like ours for students who speak English as a second language. The educational journey isn't always one-size-fits-all.
How fast can you complete my paper?
Depends on what you need. We've done 2-page essays in under 6 hours (fueled by concerning amounts of coffee). Longer research papers typically need at least 24 hours for proper research and writing. Dissertations and theses take weeks because, well, they're monsters. Rush jobs are possible but honestly not ideal – quality work takes time, especially for brain-busting subjects.
Do you write papers on any subject?
Almost. We're solid in humanities, business, nursing, psychology, and most social sciences. Advanced STEM subjects can be hit or miss, especially those math equations that look like hieroglyphics. If you need something super specialized, just ask – we'll be straight with you about whether we can handle it without faking our way through.
How detailed should my instructions be?
The more you tell us, the less we have to guess. Vague instructions like "write about climate change" leave too much wiggle room. Your writer isn't a mind reader (though that would be handy), so upload the actual assignment sheet if you have one. Include your class notes, textbook pages, even your professor's pet peeves. Tell us if they have a vendetta against passive voice or love obscure citations.
Can I choose my own writer?
Absolutely, and it's smart for ongoing classes. Once you find someone who gets your voice and doesn't make everything sound like a robot wrote it, you can stick with them. We show you writer profiles with their background and specialties. If you've worked with someone before and they nailed it, you can request them again – kind of like having your favorite barista who knows exactly how you like your coffee.
What if I need a specific formatting style?
Just mention it when ordering. We handle APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and all those other formatting nightmares. If your school has some bizarre custom format (some do, and we question their life choices), upload examples and we'll match it. Same goes for those picky department-specific requirements that make you want to tear your hair out.
Can I get samples of your work before ordering?
Totally reasonable request. We have a samples section on the website where you can check out papers in different subjects and formats. They give you a feel for our writing quality without committing. If you want something more specific, chat with support – they might be able to show you a sample more relevant to your subject. We get it – nobody likes buying a car without a test drive first.
What if I need to add materials after placing my order?
Happens all the time. Brain working at 3 AM and suddenly remember that crucial source? You can upload additional files through your account dashboard. If it's something quick like "please use this additional source," no biggie. If you're completely changing direction from "analyze Hamlet" to "compare Batman villains," that might affect the price or deadline. Just be straight with us.
Can I communicate directly with my writer?
You bet. There's a messaging system built right into your order page. Most writers respond within a few hours, unless they're sleeping (they're human, despite the superhuman writing abilities). The clearer your communication, the better your paper will match what's in your head. Don't be shy – writers prefer questions over confusion.
What if I'm not happy with the direction the paper is going?
Speak up early! This is why we offer drafts on longer projects. If something seems off-track, let your writer know pronto. Small tweaks are way easier than total overhauls. We'd rather adjust course midway than deliver something that makes you go "what in tarnation is this?" when you open it.
Can I extend the deadline if needed?
Life happens. Plans change. Sometimes you realize your professor extended the deadline and suddenly you're not in panic mode. Contact support if you need more time. If your writer hasn't already chugged three energy drinks and dived deep into your project, deadline changes are usually fine. The earlier you let us know, the more flexible we can be.
What if my paper needs revisions?
Give your paper a good read-through when it lands. If something's not vibing with what you wanted, request revisions through your account. Be specific about what needs fixing – "page 3 needs more analysis on Smith's theory" works better than "it's giving me the ick." Minor revisions are free, major changes to the original instructions might cost extra.
How do I download my completed paper?
Log into your account, go to your orders, and you'll see completed papers ready for download. We give you both Word docs and PDFs. The Word version lets you make tweaks if needed, while the PDF shows exactly how everything should look when printed. Technology, am I right?
What happens if my paper is late?
We take deadlines seriously – like, "missing the last train home" seriously. In the rare case that we drop the ball, contact support immediately. Depending on what happened, you might get partial money back or a discount on future orders. That said, we're not wizards – if you ordered a 20-page research paper three hours before deadline, there are limits to what's humanly possible.
Can I ask for a different writer if I'm not satisfied?
For sure. If the revisions aren't hitting the mark or you and your writer just aren't clicking, we can switch things up. Sometimes writing styles just don't mesh well – like pineapple and pizza for some people. No hard feelings on either side.
How do you determine your prices?
Several factors: deadline (last-minute panic costs more), academic level (high school vs. PhD), length, and subject complexity. Technical subjects with specialized knowledge generally cost more than general topics. We're not the cheapest service out there, but we pay our writers fairly because talented people deserve more than pocket change for their expertise.
Do you offer any discounts?
First-time customers get 15% off (our version of a welcome mat). We also have a loyalty program where you earn points that translate to future discounts. Bulk orders (like getting your entire semester sorted at once) can qualify for package deals. And yes, we run promotions during midterms and finals because we know that's when student wallets are feeling the pinch.
What payment methods do you accept?
Most major credit cards, PayPal, and sometimes cryptocurrency for the privacy-minded folks. We don't accept personal checks because, well, who even has a checkbook anymore? All payment processing happens through secure third-party systems – we never see your full card details.
What's your refund policy?
If we completely miss the mark and can't fix it through revisions, you can qualify for partial or full refunds. It's case-by-case. Legitimate quality issues get sorted one way or another – we'd rather give your money back than have you telling your friends we stink. That said, changing your mind after giving the thumbs-up doesn't typically qualify for refunds.
How do you ensure papers are plagiarism-free?
Every paper goes through multiple plagiarism detection tools before delivery. Our writers know plagiarism means getting the boot, so there's strong motivation to keep it original. We also keep records of all papers we've written to make sure content isn't recycled between customers. Originality isn't just important – it's non-negotiable.
Is my personal information safe with you?
We're practically paranoid about privacy. Your payment info never touches our servers. Personal details are locked down tighter than your grandmother's secret recipe. We don't need your life story – just enough information to get your paper done right. What happens at KingEssays stays at KingEssays.
Do professors know when papers come from your service?
There's no secret KingEssays watermark or anything fishy like that. Our papers are custom-written based on your instructions and shouldn't have any tell-tale signs. That said, if you order a paper and submit it without giving it the once-over or tweaking it to sound like you, professors who know your usual style might raise an eyebrow. A little personalization goes a long way.
What qualifications do your writers have?
Most have at least master's degrees in their fields, many have PhDs or specialized professional experience. We match writers to subjects they actually know – we're not having poetry majors tackling quantum physics. Writers pass subject-specific tests and writing samples before joining our team. The application process is brutal – we turn away about 90% of applicants. Only the best nerds make the cut.
Can I work with the same writer for all my assignments?
God, yes. Finding a writer who actually gets what you're trying to do is like striking gold. That moment when you read their work and think "this sounds like me, but on a good day" – why would you start over with someone new? I've seen students work with the same writer from freshman composition all the way through senior thesis. The writer starts to understand not just your voice but your professors' weird expectations too. They remember that Dr. Miller hates passive voice or Professor Chen always wants visual elements analyzed.
What if my writer disappears mid-project?
Honestly, it's rare but life happens. Writers have car accidents, family emergencies, that sudden flu that knocks you flat. We don't just shrug and say "tough luck" though. The system flags any writer who hasn't logged in for 24 hours while having active projects. Support jumps in, pulls their notes and drafts, and finds someone with similar background to take over. Bit awkward sometimes, like switching dance partners mid-song, but we make it work. Your deadline stays sacred through the whole mess.
How much should I tip my writer?
There's no formula for this one. Some of our regulars never tip and that's completely fine – the base pay is fair. Others throw in extra when a writer pulls an all-nighter to save them from a deadline disaster. I've seen everything from $5 thank-yous to $100 "you just saved my scholarship" bonuses. Tips go 100% to the writer, unlike some platforms that skim off the top. Maybe the nicest "tip" though? Those students who come back just to say they got an A, or that their professor used their paper as an example for the class. Writers live for that stuff.
Can I chat with potential writers before choosing one?
You'd be crazy not to, especially for bigger projects. Before committing, send a quick message asking about their background with your topic. Their response tells you a lot – not just about knowledge but communication style. Some writers are all business, others more conversational. Neither approach is wrong, but you might prefer one over the other. I've seen students specifically pick writers who ask them tough questions upfront – shows they're thinking critically about the assignment rather than just saying "yeah sure I can do that" to anything.
