I do like how Writerbay cares about the level of skills and knowledge their writers have. For instance, after having some troubles with formatting, I got an explanatory email and a quiz to fill up the gaps in my knowledge. I spent some time for looking add info and completing the test, but yes, it worked. You can also control the situation with your orders via personal statistics, which is also quite useful.
I had been working on this platform for many years now. Completed hundreds of orders, had a rating of 4.3 (which is very good). Completed my last order with a 5-star review and a bonus but they terminated my account with simply one email that my work quality has not been good. I emailed them back asking for specific reason but they dont seem to be concerned. They will do every thing to please the client but a writer who works tirelessly has no value to them.

I was unable to get going with my order and start on it as no specific requirements were shared except for a list of sources to cite. Fortunately, my request to the support team did not fall on dead ears and I received a full set of instructions along with the rubric in several hours. My client was also nice enough to give me more time to finish the task and rated me 5 after receiving the completed work.
Dear Amos,
Thank you for dropping a review on our services. We are happy to know that the outcome of the mentioned order was positive and that you received a timely help from the Support Team.
We wish you only beneficial orders and further positive experience while working with us.
In case of any questions or concerns you can approach us via manager@writerbay.com.

Thank you for reviewing our services and we are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with them.
I would like to bring to your attention that we highly value each person who works with us, but termination of a writer's account can be caused by many reasons including quality issues for which a writer receives Warnings and Quality Control emails. Please make sure to check the following information available in the Terms of Use on the website:
9. Termination of Account
9.1. The Company has a right to initiate Termination of Account immediately (by notifying the Writer via email) in the following cases:
9.1.2. Systematic violation (2 or more cases) of clauses 4.1.-4.5. (not following the Company's standards and requirements to the Products) and clauses 3.2.1., 3.2.2., 3.2.3., 3.2.4., 3.2.5., 3.2.14., 3.2.15. (the Writer's liabilities).
The decision for account termination is based on a thorough check of your performance and all the completed orders are taken into consideration. In case you would like to get more information about termination of your account, you are welcome to contact us via manager@writerbay.com.
My order had a couple of revisions, but everything was clarified with the client without delays. We had such a great experience working together that I am working on 2 more orders from them right now based on Higher Education and I guess our cooperation will last for some time, that is for sure. Since I had to extend the content of my work, I was given extra time and Support was also helpful when I had to reach the client urgently.
Dear Taslima,
Thank you for reviewing our service. We are glad to know your experience is favorable and we wish you to have only positive outcome while working with us.
Do not hesitate to contact us at manager@writerbay.com if you have any questions or concerns.
I did not have enough time to delve into and explore all features at writerbay as I only completed a handful orders so far. But I am definitely going to continue where I left since I can see that most of the projects are not too involving and time-consuming, moreover all of the clients I encountered up til now were satisfied with my work.
Dear Gabriel,
Thank you for reviewing our services. We are glad to know you are satisfied by working with us and wish you only beneficial orders in advance.
If you encounter any questions, you are welcome to contact us via manager@writerbay.com.
The company is evidently not interested in writers' services. They will give you cumbersome rules and regulations, fine you for absolutely nothing, and you'll live every day with threats of account termination. The support is also very rude to writers, and really don't understand the meaning of "support." If you have your money and want to purchase a WriterBay account, my friend piga tu sherehe (just eat it); otherwise, you are throwing away the money.
Dear Bernard,
Thank you for taking your time and reviewing our services. We are sorry to hear that your experience with us is not positive, but I would like to mention that before becoming our member, each person can check Terms of Use on the website which clearly state all the regulations, requirements as per work to be completed as well as fines which can be imposed, and conditions under which the account can be terminated. So this information is available in open access and one can check it before registering.
What is more, if any issues with quality are detected, our Managers contact the writer via an email and mention the exact case under investigation to bring to their attention what happened and how it can be resolved, as well as explain the reason of the fine being imposed in case of such.
Speaking about the Support, they work 24/7 to help each and every writer who is asking for assistance, but in case you faced the exact case of a support member being rude, please make sure to indicate the person and explain the situation in details so that we can undertake the needed measures.
The last, but not the least point to consider is that we prohibit any activity connected to selling/buying of accounts since an applicant has to register, complete an application form and show their writing and educational skills which can be accepted or declined after being checked. By selling/buying an account (or offering to do so), the potential applicant violates rules and inner politics of our company since by buying an account you can be involved in fraud and scam activities.
I got a message from a recruiter on LinkedIn about WriterBay. Just so you know I was ON MY OWN but i thought that "hey, why not give this a try?", because I have written a few academic articles and technical documentations before and it felt really good to share knowledge. So I signed up, passed all tests and submitted necessary documents, only for me to get rejected without a specific reason. In conclusion, It could be a waste of your time and it might also not be but for me, I am giving them a star, don't invite people to apply for something on your platform that they don't intend to and then reject them without giving specific reasons.
Dear Tomiwa,
Thank you for providing your feedback and we are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with our services.
I would like to highlight that in case an application is declined it means that the potential candidate did not follow all the requirements and instructions while completing an application form. In case of specific issues detection connected to educational documents or writing skills, the application can be declined since we cannot compromise on the quality of our services. It is a regular procedure of applications' approval/rejection stipulated by regulations and conditions of the company. For more information you can check Terms of Use on the website.
What is more, our HR representative offers a potential applicant information about the open position which is only of an introductory character. A person can follow it or ignore; we never force potential applicants to register on the website.
Also, you are welcome to contact us via manager@writerbay.com and our Management will provide you with a detailed reason and explanation of your application's rejection.
I am always requesting the only one writer to polish my works, and this time it was not an exception. He did everything as per instructions, fixed formatting and structure. He knows how it should be since it is his 8 order completed for me. And I am getting back to this service because I am sure each time for my works to be completed as I want them to be.
Dear Stacey,
Thank you for reviewing our company. We are glad to know you have found the suitable writer for your works and that you see our services as satisfactory to use.
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us via manager@writerbay.com.
I have qualified through a very difficult criteria set by them but in the end, they reject me for an IP mismatch. While they have all of my credentials and applying from Pakistan using Pakistani internet and cell numbers how IP mismatches?
Dear Haq,
We appreciate your interest in WriterBay.com and the position of freelance academic writer for which you applied.
After reviewing your application form, we have noticed a country-IP mismatch which stands against our Company's Policy and Terms of Use, which in turn states

Dear Malik,
We are sorry to hear that your experience with our service was not positive. We would like to emphasize that properly verifying an applicant's identity as well as confirming their location are essential steps of our application process. Therefore, we must ensure that there are no discrepancies between your indicated location and your actual IP address. In the very first email confirming your registration with us it was mentioned that any use of proxy service to hide your actual location during the application process is strictly prohibited by our Terms of Use.
In case you are certain that you did not use any proxy or VPN service, the issue lay in the way your Internet provider distorts the traffic resulting in an incorrect reflection of your IP address. We encourage you to look into the matter and do not hesitate to send us any further questions or concerns you may have to manager@writerbay.com
I recently discovered the potential of freelance writing as a part-time job and decided to give a try to several sites where they post writing tasks and projects. Writerbay was one of them, I've registered in September last year when I did not have my hands full with my full-time job, and I felt like it was an opportunity to try something else to complement my income. Out of half-dozen sites I had got involved with initially, I later on quit most of them except for two, one of them being writerbay. I like to take orders with longer deadlines for weekdays and the ones with shorter deadlines that have higher pay-rates for the weekends. It's also cool that I can work whenever I feel like it since there's no quota for the number of orders you have to complete. There's also no harassment or offensive replies in chats or messages in contrast to what I encountered on certain other sites that employ freelancers.
Dear Matis,
Thank you for dropping your review regarding our services. We are glad to know your experience is pleasant and we wish you only beneficial orders with us.
Do not hesitate to contact us at manager@writerbay.com if you have any questions or concerns.
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.
So I was recently assigned a new order from the client who previously hired me to work on more than 20 of their assignments. The new order was for 45 pages and it encompassed around 15 practical tasks on HRM so I was eager to accept it. But when I was halfway through the tasks, I was faced with a medical emergency that forced me to take a leave for at least 3 days. Fortunately, the client had an extra week to spare so he allowed me to finish the order once I am back from hospital and ready to work again. This order was recently approved and I am looking forward to more projects from my client since he enjoyed my work and promised to hire me again.
Dear Ainura,
Thank you for reviewing our services. We are thrilled to know you enjoy your time with WriterBay and would like to proceed using our website. You are always welcome to approach the Support Team in case of a need and explain your situation for them to help you as soon as it is possible.
We wish you even more beneficial orders and in case of any concerns you can contact us via manager@writerbay.com.
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.
Exp: 5 years plus
Staff: Rude
My work for Writerbay: 700+ orders
Started working in 2016
Excessive fines
No one will actually call you to see what happened.
Mainly bots
Cheap Management
Give 15% of what they charge clients which is pennies.
A client messaged me that he paid $150 for an order that they gave me only 20 dollars and that's how I found out.
Advice to writers: there are many other platforms available for beginning writers and skillful writers
I can attach more screenshots if required.

We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.
While working on the order my client told me that I had to complete not 15, but 35 pages. At first I was frustrated, but then I was informed that my deadline is extended and I will be paid x2 more. The client liked my work and told that would offer me another works in neurophysiology, so glad to know that I will have more orders to complete and earn money!
Dear Aisyah,

Recently, on Feb 6,2024 I have got a message on LinkedIn from someone with name Ciara Allen inviting me for freelance writer position in their company - WriterBay.com. After chatting a few days with Ciara, I have registered on writerbay.com and was asked to go through the so-called application process, which consists of 6-steps - Really? This is not an application to a government service, just a freelance writer position, so even then it seemed suspicious to me, as there were too many obstacles to test the site, but as I got the invitation, I decided to went through all the steps: entered my personal data into the site, uploaded a few short essays, brief version of CV and the most important part: in step 6, I was required to upload any documents such as diploma or certificates - this is important, because after uploading your personal e-version of diploma, you have no option to delete it. So, after completing the application process, I have got a message saying that my application will be considered not more than 14-days or so. The most intriguing part is that after a few days later, I have got a message from *******@writerbay saying that I "have not been approved for the freelance writer position", so I tried to log in into my account to delete any personal data, but got a message "Your account was closed. Please check your email for more details." - that is what I meant, I would like to warn you against the illusion of easy money, because this kind of sites parasitizes on people's desire to earn money while sitting at home. I hope you got the point that after entering your personal data, uploading resumes, including information about your education, employment, etc., not mentioning your e-version of diplomas, think it this way: you are giving away your private data to someone who can later use it for any unknown purposes.
Below, I will attach the above-mentioned letter, so that you can familiarize yourself with this kind of spam/scam messages! Why do I think that it might be a spam or scam? - Simply, because it took me a few days to complete the application process and waste my time for nothing, and scam, because they got my personal data, when requiring to upload my resume, diploma and provided no options to delete it, later just closed my account.
To sum it up, in our modern age of Internet, there are so many scam actors and sites, which parasitize on people's desire to earn easy money while sitting from home by offering to register on the so-called "attractive" websites and share your private data - do not do this without any proper verification and your conscious approach, check these sites for the transparency, availability of information about the owners, reputation and be careful!
Best regards,
Serikzhan

Tip for consumers:
Save your time by skipping spam and scam sites!
Dear Serikzhan,
Thank you for providing feedback. We are sorry to hear that it is not positive.
I want to draw your attention to the fact that while looking for potential candidates our HR team representative provides only relevant information which you can find on the website. All the steps of our application process, including the need to upload a photo of your higher education certificate, are highlighted and clearly described on the main page so that an applicant can decide whether they want to apply or not. Our representatives are never forcing potential candidates to register, but giving information about the open position. Additionally, it is quite a standard procedure to check educational documents since it is important for us to see you have completed higher education and have appropriate skills to work as a freelance writer.
Each and every application is checked taking into consideration educational background and writing skills of an applicant which means that if your application is not accepted, it was declined due to not meeting some of the requirements. You are welcome to contact us via manager@writerbay.com and ask for a detailed reason of your application to be declined and our Managers will explain on the matter.
Also, after the application is declined, it is automatically removed from the system and the website, which is the reason why you cannot close it by your own. Personal data of our writers and applicants is never used by third parties, so provided documents and information remain safe and secure. For more details you can check Privacy Policy and Terms of Use available on the website.
We are sorry that your experience was not positive with us, but it is important to highlight that we accept only those applications, which meet all the requirements stipulated by regulations of our company and we cannot compromise on the quality of our services.
Overall, they are one of the greatest that I have worked with. I get to learn a lot along the way and I love that I am helping clients who are struggling. About the only criticism I have for them overall is some communication issues with clients and once in awhile even staff. I am very glad that they have decided to notify by text instead of phone calls now. Hope to hear back from your representative and for my feedback to be consider as i really care about this job.
More importantly, what im adding as an update is my request for the management to give us more orders in daily basis cause i know you say that their number will increase soon but i want to know when.
Otherwise just great and i'm glad to be here but i want some improvement if you understand
Tip for consumers:
I can see that the platform is steadily improving and I look forward to checking out more updates. I just wish there were more projects at the moment.
Dear Emilia,
Thank you for reviewing our service! We are thrilled to know that you enjoy your time with WriterBay.
As for the number of available orders, we are confident that it is going to increase within a month with the start of high season. We are going to have several very busy months in terms of workload so we are certain that you will be able to find plenty of projects for yourself.
Thank you again for your kind words and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
My application was denied due to "evidence that my diploma was modified." Apparently, they use some "programs" and "experienced managers" who decided that the diploma image I uploaded was not real. However, all diplomas in my country can be verified on a government website, and I provided them with a screenshot. This is a ridiculous reason to deny an applicant. I could understand if I did not pass a test or the application essay was poorly written. However, denying a writer for "modifying diploma" without any objective evidence of such behavior is unprofessional. If there was any doubt about the provided file, your company could request some additional photos or even videos of the diploma. I am very displeased with your recruiting team. Please reconsider your managers and "software."
Dear Oleksandr, please accept our sincerest apologies for such an experience!
Our application procedure may seem complex, as it consists of several important steps. Uploading a high-quality photo of a degree certificate is one of them. We pay utmost attention to the documents uploaded, as due to the specifics of our work, we hire only specialists with a Bachelor's degree or higher. We are sorry you did not receive a positive reply from us this time. If you have any questions to discuss, please email us at support@writerbay.com. Have a nice week ahead!
I applied for the freelance writer job yesterday at writerbay and found the registration process super easy and smooth. The best part about them is that they teach you through their tutorials and quizzes on how to deliver your work. The support team is also really cooperative. I had some queries about the registration process and they replied within no time. I am hopeful that I will be a part of the team in the coming weeks.
Tip for consumers:
If you are good at writing articles, then this the best site for you.
Abdul, we are so grateful for your kind comment! Can't wait to start our cooperation :) Please contact us via email at support@writerbay.com in case of any questions. Have a nice day!
It's not a bad place to practice your writing skills, as long as you pay close attention to details, and are willing to work with a customer service staff that may or may not be as proficient (in writing or speaking) English as you are.
If you are proficient areas where there are fewer professional opportunities for earning, this isn't a bad gig (again, if you are willing to watch the details). It is difficult to get rich with this gig, but it can produce a little spending money.
Dear Neil, thanks for sharing your experience!
We are sure this comment would be useful to the new writers as before confirming working on the order, you are to be 100% sure you understand the requirements. As the practice shows, when everything is clarified on the order before the writer starts working on the paper, there are no misunderstandings in the future. Good luck with your projects!
We wish you a lot of sunny days ahead!
I recently went through the company's registration process which was fascinating especially the tutorials they provide on how the website operates, on plagiarism, and formatting. I would be happy to be part of this great team soon. I am extensively satisfied with their support team who acted fast in answering my interrogations during the registration process! I am vividly very delighted with this freelance site up to this point as I wait for my application to be processed.
Dear Vincent, we are so glad to read your kind review about our registration procedure! Thank you so much for your frank comment! We wish you success with your application. Looking forward to working with you!
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!
It's easy as it is: WriterBay.com offers freelance writing jobs. All you have to do to start making money is to apply your expertise from the comfort of your home. Our user-friendly control panel makes job hunting easy and saves you a lot of time.
How safe is Writerbay?
Nothing really. They will call you on the phone, but when they fail to pay you money you "earned"- you will be robbed because they pay 5-8 dollars and charge their clients 25-45 for that- then they disappear. Please never even consider wasting your time on them.
Q} How much do you earn from Writerbay?
With us you can get up to $20 per page and earn part-time or even full-time income. Please note that you get paid twice per month; however, you need to choose the payment option first.
Is Writerbay com real?
Overview. Writerbay has a consumer rating of 4.11 stars from 153 reviews indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Consumers satisfied with Writerbay most frequently mention support team and registration process. Writerbay ranks 6th among Writing Other sites.
Dear Subhan, thanks for your comment. However, is it indeed your review? From what we can see, this is just copy&pasted parts of the text from the website plus whatever you found over the Internet. If you have genuine experience working with us, you may try to share it here. Have a perfect day ahead!
Unfortunately, I became a victim of this company. They gathered two photos of my educational certificate and just reject my application. Besides, they refuse giving me the exact reasons of such situation. So, guys, do not believe them. I have found many posts about this company. Writerbay smells fishy. Contact me, if you are also their victim. I hope this company will be closed soon. Besides, we are going to make a claim to US police department regarding their activity.
Thank you for the feedback. We ask the proof of earned degree from our applicants - it is a common practice among the services that care about the quality of the product provided. We have high standards and can not accept applicants who might not meet them, unfortunately.
Still, if any questions remain, you can contact us via manager@writerbay.com.
We wish you all the best.
Reliable and Trusted. Alternative, topwritersleague.com. Great experience from both sites. I will always recommend you to use any of the two sites.
Thank you, Ryan, for the kind words! Please be informed that a reviewing website is not a place for advertisement.
