There's got to be better..
There's got to be better... I've been working with The Urban Writers for the first time since July. In their efforts to "help," they destroyed my first project! The writer I selected was a great writer but offered ZERO helpful content. The writer kept writing about offering helpful content but failed until I provided the actual content. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I thought a writer was not just supposed to write to make the content engaging, but then also deliver on the words written. Then, I "admin" stepped in and offered "help." Well, every time I let admin know to proceed, it takes several days before I hear from someone. DAYS, not hours! And sometimes I don't get a response at all. I've now wasted thousands of dollars and have zero to show for it. I can't get them to release MY content which I paid for already. It's not October... So, about three months in, I've spent about $3K and there's no content that I can access easily. You tell me. Does that seem like what you want to experience? Maybe I'm just the unlucky few who had a bad experience with TUW, but it won't happen again. Good luck to you! There's got to be better!
Simple and fun!
I love your website and how simple and easy it is to use it. When I've got questions, you've got videos with answers! I love the inventory of people that are on the site to pick from. I enjoy how everything works. Thank you!

The freelancers have been excellent so far. By far the best company I have dealt with.

I've had nothing but irritation with…
I've had nothing but irritation with this platform. Firstly, the website is slow as molasses - every button click and every web page takes at least 10 seconds to process. It is one of the slowest websites on the internet in 2023. Second, they don't even have an attachment button, so I cannot share outlines and documents with a potential writer as I'm interviewing them for the job. Third, they don't allow communicating with the writer outside the platform, so they spy on each message you write, and write you annoying warning emails telling you that you violated their terms. But TUW doesn't even have a video option, so it is impossible to fully vet the writer. Lastly, they don't allow the writers to share their previous work with you, so you have no way of knowing how much experience the writer actually had. Overall, TUW is overpriced, you'd be better off going with UpWork - which doesn't have any of the drawbacks I mentioned above.
TUW has good writers
TUW has good writers. I ordered 2 outlines from TUW, and one from another company. All outlines were the same topic. Outlines from TUW were 13 pages long, and 62 pages from the other company. The fee from the other company was significantly more than TUW's ... until TUW asked for writer's gratuity ($$$). Then the prices were almost the same. I prefer companies that give me the full budget up front, instead of surprising me with a request for gratuity (tip) after the project is finished. I will limit how often I use TUW.
Highly recommend this Company
Found a really good ghostwriter for my book & then an editor to edit & proofread it for me. Both highly professional, & excellent at attention to concept & detail. Would highly recommend using this Company. I'll definitely be using them again.
Recommend to anyone!
All the writers were fantastic and worked with me to accomplish my project. Would recommend to anyone!
Challenging experience
I used two writers and the quality of content was inferior and repetitive. They both missed the tone. This took a lot of my time. The editor had to correct multiple issues and brought the tone to where it needed to be. Shame on the writers. Editor was stellar. This is my first book so did not know what to expect with cover. Designer did a great job and was communicative. I will use TUW again but will be more cautious on selections.
They made my work romantic
They made my work romantic. I was going with informative, now it is both. 5 stars.
