What Should You Communicate in Your Initial Message to a Writer?
The first 24 hours after the writer assignment determine project success. Front-loading communication prevents 70% of later problems.
Essential Information to Provide Immediately
Academic Context and Expectations
Share details beyond the order form:
- Your professor’s teaching style and grading tendencies
- Course themes or concepts emphasized in class
- Specific terminology your professor uses
- Assignment weight (what percentage of final grade)
- How strictly your professor follows rubrics
Example good opening message: “Hi! Thanks for taking my order.
Quick context: Professor Chen is very particular about thesis statements appearing in the first paragraph and wants 3 specific body points. She emphasizes critical analysis over summary and deducts heavily for grammatical errors. This paper is worth 20% of my grade, so quality is crucial. The rubric is attached; she follows it strictly.”
Example poor opening message: “Hi, just wanted to say hello. Let me know if you have questions.”
A good message gives the writer actionable intelligence about expectations. A poor message wastes an opportunity to prevent misunderstandings.
Writing Style Preferences
Clarify your expectations:
- Formality level (very formal academic vs. conversational
academic) - Sentence complexity (simple, clear sentences vs. sophisticated, complex
structures) - Vocabulary level (standard academic vs. advanced terminology)
- Voice preference (if any flexibility exists)
Example:
“I prefer clear, straightforward sentences over very complex ones. My previous
papers have used accessible language, nothing too fancy. I’ve attached a sample of my writing style for reference.”
Clarifying Ambiguous Requirements
Even well-written order forms have ambiguities. Address these proactively:
Research source expectations: Specify if not already clear:
- Peer-reviewed sources only, or reputable news sources
acceptable? - How recent should sources be? (Last 5 years? 10 years?)
- Any required sources that must be included? - Sources to avoid (Wikipedia, blogs, certain publications)?
- Preference for primary vs. secondary sources?
Formatting Details
Confirm specifics:
- Exact citation style version (APA 7th edition vs. 6th?)
- Title page requirements
- Running head needed or not? (APA changed this in the 7th edition)
- Abstract required?
- Appendices or supplementary materials?
Content Depth Expectations
Clarify Analysis Level: Should the paper introduce concepts or assume reader knowledge?
- How much summary vs. analysis? (Common confusion)
- Examples needed, if so, how many per point?
- Counterarguments required?
- Personal perspective allowed or purely
objective?
Example clarification message:
“Quick question about the sources: Are newspaper articles from the NYT or the Washington Post acceptable, or do you need peer-reviewed academic journals only? Also, for APA format, my professor wants APA 7th edition (no running head), and she requires the abstract even though the assignment says optional. Finally, she wants more analysis than summary, aim for 70% analysis, 30% summary if possible.”
Setting Communication Expectations
Establish collaboration patterns:
Your availability:
“I check messages twice daily, morning around 9 AM EST and evening around 8 PM EST. If you have urgent questions, I’ll respond within a few hours during those windows.”
Preferred check-in points:
“If possible, could you send a quick outline or your thesis statement when you’re about 30% done? I’d love to confirm you’re on the right track before you get too far. No need for a full draft, just the direction you’re heading.”
Response commitment:
“I’ll respond to all questions within 12 hours maximum. If you need clarification on anything, please ask rather than guessing. I’d rather answer questions now than request revisions later.”
What NOT to Do in Initial Messages
Avoid micromanaging:
Don’t: “You should start with a quote, then do three paragraphs on topic A, then two on topic B, and make sure you use these exact sources in this order…”
This removes the writer's expertise and creativity. Provide goals and constraints, not step-by-step instructions.
Avoid vague pleasantries:
Don’t: “Looking forward to working with you! I’m sure you’ll do great!”
While friendly, this wastes the crucial first-contact opportunity to share essential information.
Avoid overwhelming information dumps:
Don’t: Send 15 attachments and three paragraphs of stream-of-consciousness thoughts.
Organize information clearly:
Three quick things:
- Professor emphasis
- Format clarification
- My availability.
Avoid assumptions:
Don’t: Assume the writer understands your field’s conventions, your professor’s quirks, or your institution’s requirements.

How Should You Respond When Writers Ask
Questions?
Writer questions indicate engagement and quality consciousness. Students who answer promptly and thoroughly receive better papers.
Understanding Why Writers Ask Questions
Common Question Categories and Meanings
| Clarification Questions | Confirmation Questions | Resource Questions | Preference Questions | Direction Questions | |
| Question | You mentioned analyzing three theories, which three specifically? | Just to confirm, you want APA 7th edition with no running head, correct? | Do you have access to the textbook reading for Week 5? The assignment references it. | Would you like me to include charts or keep it text-only? | Would you prefer I focus more on economic impacts or social impacts? |
| Means | Order form had ambiguity or incomplete information | Writer wants to avoid preventable mistakes | The Writer needs materials you have but didn’t upload | Writer offering value-adds but checking your preference | Multiple valid approaches exist; writer seeks your preference |
| Urgency | High, the writer cannot proceed without an answer | Medium, writer has an assumption but wants verification | High if required, Medium if supplementary | Low, writer can decide, but asking for your input | Medium, writer can proceed, but wants optimal direction |
Response Best Practices
Speed Matters
Response time impact on quality:
- Within 2 hours: Writer maintains flow, no disruption
- Within 12 hours: Minor delay but manageable
- Within 24 hours: May cause timeline issues
- Over 24 hours: Often causes quality compromises or rushed work
Be specific, Not Vague
Vague response (problematic): “Yeah, just do whatever you think is best.”
Specific response (helpful): “Focus primarily on economic impacts (about 70% of analysis) with social impacts as secondary context (30%). The professor emphasizes economic policy implications, so that should be the main lens.”
Provide Reasoning when possible: Don’t just answer yes/no. Explain why:
Basic response: “Yes, include charts.”
Enhanced response: “Yes, please include 2-3 charts if relevant. Professor Chen loves visual data representations and often gives extra credit when students include them. Just make sure they’re properly labeled and cited.”
The context helps the writer make related decisions you haven’t explicitly addressed.
Handling Questions You Can’t Answer
Sometimes writers ask questions you genuinely cannot answer:
“Should I use the functionalist or conflict theory approach?”
If you don’t know: “I’m not sure which approach works better, I’m still learning these theories. Could you use whichever you think builds a stronger argument? My professor values logical reasoning over specific theoretical choices.”
This honesty lets the writer use their expertise while giving them decision-making permission.
“Do you have the course readings from weeks 3 and 4?”
If you don’t: “I don’t have those readings saved, but the key concepts covered were [list what you remember]. Will that be enough, or do you need me to access the course page to get them?”
Offer alternative solutions when you can’t provide exactly what’s requested.
Red Flags in Writer Questions
Certain questions indicate potential problems:
Excessive basic questions: If a writer asks 15-20 questions about clearly stated requirements, they may not have carefully reviewed your order.
Off-topic questions: “What citation style do you want?” when the order clearly states APA, suggests inattention.
Impossible timeline questions: “Can you provide 10 additional sources by tonight?” When the order has already started suggests poor planning.
Action: Contact customer support if questions seem concerning. Quality writers ask smart, limited questions. Excessive or odd questions may indicate a mismatch. When working with a writing service, the writer's questions should demonstrate engagement, not confusion.
When and How Should You Check In on Progress?
Strategic check-ins catch problems early without micromanaging. Timing and approach matter significantly.
Optimal Check-In Timeline
For 24-48 hour orders: One check-in only
When: At 50% of the timeline (12-24 hours in)
Ask: “How’s progress going? Any issues or questions come up?”
Purpose: Confirm writer is on track and hasn’t encountered blockers
For 3-7 day orders: Two check-ins
First check-in (25-30% into timeline): “Just checking in, have you had time to review everything and start researching?”
Second check-in (60-70% into timeline): “Wanted to see if you’re on track for delivery. Any last questions before you finalize?”
For 8-14 day orders: Three check-ins:
First (20% into timeline): Confirm start and research direction
Second (50% into timeline): Request outline or thesis for review
Third (75% into timeline): Final questions and delivery confirmation
For 15+ day orders (major projects): Weekly check-ins
- Monday check-ins work well for most writers
- Request progressive deliveries (introduction first, then body sections)
- Review each section before the next progresses
- What to Ask in Check-Ins
What to Ask in Check-Ins
Early check-ins (first 25% of project):
Good questions:
- “Have you started the research phase?”
- “Any questions come up as you’ve reviewed the requirements?”
- “Does everything make sense so far?”
Avoid:
- “How much have you written?” (Irrelevant at research stage)
- “Can I see what you have?” (Too early for meaningful review)
Mid-project check-ins (40-60% of project):
Good questions:
- “What’s your current thesis/main argument direction?”
- “Which sources are you finding most useful?”
- “Could you share a quick outline of your structure?”
- “Are you on pace for the deadline?”
Avoid:
- “Can you send everything you have so far?” (Disruptive to workflow)
- Requesting major direction changes at this point
Late check-ins (70-85% of the project):
Good questions:
- “Everything still on track for [delivery date]?”
- “Any final clarifications you need before you polish and submit?”
- “Confirm you’re including [specific required element]?”
Avoid:
- Introducing new requirements
- Major feedback at this late stage
How to Request Preview/Outline Reviews
For papers 10+ pages or 10+ day deadlines, preview reviews prevent major direction problems.
Good preview request: “When you’re about 30% done, would you mind sharing your thesis statement and outline with me? Just want to make sure we’re aligned on direction before you write the full content. A few sentences is fine, doesn’t need to be polished.”
What to review in previews:
Thesis statement check:
- Does it answer the assignment question?
- Is it specific and arguable (not just factual)?
- Does it match your understanding of the assignment?
Outline check:
- Do the main sections address all required points?
- Is the logical flow sensible?
- Are any required elements missing?
Source check:
- Are sources appropriate (academic level, recency, relevance)?
- Do you recognize any problematic sources?
- Are the required sources included?
Providing preview feedback:
Be clear and actionable:
Vague: “Hmm, I’m not sure about the thesis.”
Clear: “The thesis is good, but too broad. Can you narrow it to focus specifically on economic impacts rather than covering economic, social, and political all altogether? The assignment emphasizes economic analysis primarily.”
Vague: “The outline looks okay, I guess.”
Clear: “Outline structure is solid. One thing, can you add a section addressing counterarguments? The rubric specifically mentions considering alternative perspectives.”
What NOT to Do During Check-Ins
Don’t micromanage: Checking in every 6 hours isn’t helpful; it’s disruptive. Trust the process unless there are warning signs.
Don’t demand progress reports: “Send me everything you have right now” interrupts workflow. Writers need uninterrupted blocks for quality writing.
Don’t panic unnecessarily: If a writer hasn’t responded in 8 hours, they’re likely writing. Contact support only if silence exceeds 24 hours or crosses critical milestones.
Don’t change requirements mid-project: “Actually, can you completely change the focus?” wastes work and may incur additional charges.
Don’t compare to other orders: “My last writer always sent updates every day” isn’t helpful. Different writers have different processes.
How Do You Give Effective Feedback and Revision Requests?
Quality feedback accelerates revisions. Vague complaints extend timelines and frustrate everyone.
The Feedback Framework: Specific, Actionable, Prioritized
Specific: Identify exact issues
Vague: “The introduction isn’t good.”
Specific: “The introduction needs a clearer thesis statement. Currently, it says ‘Social media has many effects,’ but the assignment requires an argumentative thesis. Could you revise to something like ‘Social media platforms harm adolescent mental health by promoting constant comparison, disrupting sleep patterns, and replacing in-person social development’?”
Actionable: Explain what you want changed
Not actionable: “Fix the conclusion.”
Actionable: “The conclusion currently just repeats the introduction. Could you revise it to summarize the three main findings (comparison effects, sleep disruption, social replacement) and end with the broader implication that parents and policymakers should regulate teen social media access?”
Prioritized: Separate must-fix from nice-to-have
Unprioritized: Lists 25 minor issues without indicating importance
Prioritized: “Critical issues (must fix):
- Thesis needs to be argumentative, not descriptive
- Missing the counterargument section required by the rubric
- Only 4 sources used, assignment requires 6
Minor issues (fix if time):
- Paragraph 3 could use a smoother transition
- One citation is missing page numbers
Organizing Revision Requests
Use a structured format:
Section-by-section feedback:
Introduction:
- Thesis statement needs to be more specific (see comment above)
- Opening hook is great, no changes needed
Body Paragraph 1: Perfect, no changes needed
Body Paragraph 2:
- Could you add one more example supporting the sleep disruption point?
- The statistic in line 23 needs a citation
Body Paragraph 3: This section feels light. Could you expand by 150-200 words with more evidence?
Conclusion: Needs revision (see earlier comment)
References: Missing 2 required sources. Could you add 2 peer-reviewed articles from the last 5 years?”
This organization lets the writer address feedback systematically.
Reference the Original Requirements
When requesting revisions, cite the original instructions:
“The order form specified APA 7th edition, but the paper currently uses APA 6th (includes running head, which the 7th edition eliminated). Could you update to the APA 7th format?”
This shows your revision request stems from original requirements, not changed preferences.
Avoiding Revision Request Mistakes
Don’t request complete rewrites:
If the paper entirely misses the mark, contact support rather than requesting a revision. Revisions cover missed requirements, not fundamental misunderstandings requiring fresh starts.
Don’t nitpick minor style preferences:
Revisions shouldn’t be about making the paper sound exactly like you’d write it. Focus on adherence to requirements and quality issues, rather than stylistic preferences.
Don’t wait until the last minute:
Submitting revision requests 2 hours before your deadline isn’t fair. Request revisions immediately after receiving papers.
Don’t use harsh or emotional language:
Harsh: “This is terrible. Did you even read the requirements? Completely wrong.”
Professional: “The paper doesn’t quite match the requirements. Specifically, the assignment asked for an analysis of economic impacts, but this focuses on social impacts. Could you revise to address economic factors as the primary focus?”
Writers are people. Professional courtesy matters.
What If Revisions Don’t Improve the Paper?
After the first revision: If issues persist, provide even more specific feedback with examples.
After the second revision: Contact customer support.
Explain:
- Original requirements
- Revision requests made
- Why the paper still doesn’t meet requirements
- What resolution are you seeking (different writer, refund, etc)
A Professional essay service escalates persistent revision issues to managers who can reassign orders or provide refunds.
How Can You Build Long-Term Relationships with Good Writers?
Finding an excellent writer is valuable. Building ongoing relationships improves quality and efficiency.
Benefits of Writer Relationships
For you:
- Writer learns your style and preferences
- Less initial explanation is needed each time
- Faster completion (writer familiar with your expectations)
- Consistent quality
- Priority during busy periods
- Potential loyalty discounts
For writers:
- Steady, predictable income
- Less time spent on clarifications
- Easier projects (familiarity with the client)
- Better reviews and ratings
- Referral opportunities
Data shows students who use the same writer for 3+ orders experience:
- 40% fewer revision requests
- 25% faster average completion times
- 15% higher satisfaction ratings
How to Request the Same Writer
During the current order:
Before the order completes, message: “Your work has been excellent. Is there a way I can request you specifically for future orders?”
Most writing services allow:
- Adding writers to “preferred” lists
- Direct order assignment to specific writers
- Writer-initiated order claims when they see your requests
For Next Order:
In the order form or initial message: “If available, I’d like to request Writer #47829 [or whatever identification system the service uses]. We’ve worked together before, and they know my style.”
Building your writer network:
- Rather than relying on one writer, develop relationships with 2-3 writers: Primary writer for your main subject and Backup writer for busy periods
- Specialist writer for technical subjects
This prevents bottlenecks when your preferred writer is unavailable.
Maintaining Writer Relationships
Provide consistent information:
If you always need APA 7th, abstracts, and peer-reviewed sources only, communicate this upfront every time. Consistency makes repeat orders easier.
Give feedback:
After delivery, send a quick note: “Paper was perfect, met all requirements, and needed zero revisions. Really appreciate the attention to detail on the citation formatting.”
Writers value knowing what worked well, not just what needed fixing.
Leave positive reviews:
If the platform allows writer reviews, leave specific, helpful feedback:
Generic review: “Good job, thanks!”
Helpful review: “Excellent work on the economics paper. Followed all requirements, delivered 24 hours early, responded to questions within 3 hours, and needed zero revisions. Strong research and clear analysis. Will definitely request again.”
Tip for exceptional work:
Most platforms allow tips (5-15% is standard). Tipping for truly exceptional work builds goodwill and priority for future projects.
Be a good client:
The best writer relationships are reciprocal:
- Provide clear requirements
- Respond promptly to questions
- Give constructive feedback
- Pay fairly (don’t always choose the absolute cheapest option)
- Respect deadlines (order early when possible)
When to End Writer Relationships
Not all writer relationships work long-term. Consider changing if:
Consistent quality decline: If work quality drops over multiple orders despite feedback
Reliability issues: Repeated missed deadlines or poor communication.
Stagnant improvement: The Writer never addresses feedback or recurring issues
Better alternatives: You find a writer who better matches your needs
Professional transition: “I’ve appreciated working with you, but I’m switching to a different writer who specializes more in [subject]. Thank you for the excellent work on my previous orders."
Ending professionally maintains positive relationships and protects your reputation on the platform.
What Should You Do When Communication Problems Arise?
Even with best practices, miscommunications occur. Strategic problem-solving prevents escalation.
Common Communication Problems and Solutions
Problem: Writer not responding to messages
Timeline before escalation:
- 0-8 hours: Normal—writer may be researching or writing
- 8-24 hours: Acceptable delay, especially if the question isn’t urgent
- 24-48 hours: Concerning, send follow-up message
- 48+ hours: Escalate to customer support
Follow-up message template:
“Hi [Writer ID], following up on my message from [date]. I need confirmation on [specific issue] to ensure we’re aligned. Could you respond when possible? If you’re busy with the writing, even a quick ‘received and will do X’ response would be helpful.”
Problem: The Writer doesn’t understand the requirements despite explanations
After two explanations, if the writer still doesn’t grasp the assignment after clear explanations, contact support:
“I’ve tried explaining the requirements twice [attach message history], but there still seems to be confusion about [specific issue]. Can someone review to see if there’s a language barrier or if a different writer might be a better fit for this assignment?”
Problem: Writer is defensive about feedback
Example of defensive response:
“The paper is fine. You’re being too picky.”
How to handle:
- Don’t engage in an argument
- Contact support immediately
- Provide evidence: “The rubric requires counterarguments (page 2, item 3), which are missing. This isn’t subjective, it’s a stated requirement.”
Problem: The Writer missed the initial deadline
Immediate response: “I see the deadline passed without delivery. What’s the status of the order? When can I expect it? This is for a [date] class deadline, so I need to know if I should make alternative arrangements.”
Also, contact support: Services with delivery guarantees will compensate for missed deadlines.
Problem: Language barriers affect understanding
If you suspect language barriers:
- Simplify your communication (shorter sentences, fewer idioms)
- Use numbered lists instead of paragraphs
- Provide examples when possible
- Consider requesting a different writer if communication remains difficult
Problem: Time zone differences create delays
Solution:
- Identify the writer’s likely time zone based on response patterns
- Time your important messages accordingly
- Set expectations: “I know we’re in different time zones. I’ll check messages at [your evening], which might be your morning. Let’s plan key communications for [times that overlap]."
When to Escalate to Customer Support
Escalate immediately for:
- Writer's hostility or unprofessional behavior
- Suspected plagiarism
- Complete misunderstanding of requirements after multiple explanations
- Missed deadlines without communication
- Writer requesting additional payment outside the platform
- Any request that violates platform policies
Escalation message template:
“I’m having issues with Order #[number], Writer #[ID].
Issue: [Specific problem]
What I’ve tried: [Your attempts to resolve]
Documentation: [Attach relevant message history]
Requested resolution: [What you want—different writer, refund, deadline extension, etc.]
Time sensitivity: [Your deadline and why timing matters]”
Provide objective facts and documentation. Avoid emotional language even if frustrated.
Preventing Future Communication Problems
After resolving issues:
- Document what went wrong
- Identify what you could communicate better next time
- Note if certain writers are better communicators
- Refine your initial messages based on patterns
Learning from communication problems improves future collaborations. The goal isn’t perfect communication but continuous improvement.
What Communication Etiquette Should You Follow?
Professional courtesy improves relationships and results. Basic etiquette prevents unnecessary friction.
General Communication Principles
Be respectful and professional:
Remember, writers are educated professionals:
- Use courteous language
- Avoid demands (“Fix this now!”)
- Frame requests positively (“Could you adjust…”)
- Thank the writers for their work
Be clear and concise:
Unclear: “I need this to be better and more like what I was thinking about, but different from how it is now.”
Clear: “Could you revise paragraph 3 to focus more on economic factors rather than social factors? The assignment emphasizes economic analysis.”
Be realistic about timelines:
Don’t expect:
- Instant responses (allow 4-12 hours)
- Major revisions in 2 hours
- Complete rewrites overnight
- Weekend/holiday availability without premium pricing
Be honest about your knowledge:
If you don’t understand the subject well: “I’m still learning this material, so I can’t evaluate the technical accuracy. My professor will assess that. My main concern is that the paper follows the rubric structure and includes all required elements.”
Be appreciative:
Simple thanks matter:
- “Thanks for the quick response.”
- “I appreciate you catching that detail.”
- “Thank you for the excellent work.”
Specific Etiquette Guidelines
Response timing:
- Urgent questions: Within 2-4 hours during waking hours
- Normal questions: Within 12 hours
- Non-urgent updates: Within 24 hours
Message frequency:
- Routine orders: 2-3 messages total
- Complex orders: 4-6 messages
- Major projects: Weekly check-ins
Message length:
Keep messages focused:
- Initial message: 150-300 words
- Follow-ups: 50-150 words
- Quick responses: 1-3 sentences
Avoid:
- Messages at 3 AM, expecting an immediate response
- Multiple messages in quick succession
- ALL CAPS or excessive exclamation points!!!
- Threats or ultimatums
- Comparing the writer to others
- Sharing personal problems
- Off-topic conversations
Cultural Communication Considerations
Essay writing services employ international writer networks. Cultural awareness helps:
Direct vs. indirect communication: Some cultures prefer direct statements; others use indirect suggestions. If you sense misalignment, adjust your style.
Formality levels: Start formally and follow the writer’s lead. Better to be too formal than too casual.
Idioms and slang:
Avoid: “This paper needs to really nail it” or “Let’s touch base.”
Use: “This paper needs to be excellent” or “Let’s communicate.”
Time expressions:
Be explicit: “By Friday, May 15 at 5 PM Eastern Time” rather than “by the end of the week”
Professional Boundaries
Maintain platform communication:
Do: Use the service’s messaging system
Don’t: Exchange personal contact info (email, phone, social media)
Why: Platform communication provides documentation, protection, and support if issues arise.
Keep relationships professional:
Writers are service providers, not friends:
- Avoid oversharing personal information
- Keep conversations focused on the work
- Don’t request work outside the platform
- Don’t ask writers to violate platform policies
Respect pricing and policies:
Don’t:
- Request free work or samples
- Ask for discounts outside the platform’s programs
- Negotiate prices directly with writers
- Request work that violates academic integrity beyond the service’s model
Quality services provide structures that protect both customers and writers. Working within those structures ensures the best outcomes.
