Research Writer Interview With Gerald
Independent Freelance Writer
How did you get into freelance writing?
I've always been a writer. Like most people, I began in fiction. However, college and public service made me realize how much I enjoy formal research. I have freelanced academic models for over 5 years now.
How do you feel about the business of paper writing?
Like Eric Clapton says, "it's in the way that you use it." I write to help people make the most of their education. It's not for me to judge why a person needs my services- it's only up to me to provide the service.
Do you do any other types of work?
I freelance articles, conduct personal fitness training and tutor college students.
What are your favorite essay topics?
I really enjoy history and education topics. However, the great thing about my job is I gain an invaluable education from all sorts of different assignments. I approach each assignment with enthusiasm, because I know I'm going to learn something new.
How long have you been with Custom Essays?
Since 2011. I independently freelanced for 5 years before that.
What kind of topics are you willing to write on?
Depends on what the client is willing to pay! Ha! Seriously, I am willing to take on most any topic and will always deliver a quality product. I love the range offered to me by my clients.
Do you feel this is cheating?
Again, it is all in how you use it. I am not a judge or jury. It’s your education and you understand most what you are trying to get out of it.
What is your highest degree?
I have 2 Master degrees. Both are in education. My M.Ed in Adult Education made me realize the time constraints placed on typical adult learners. I realized that much of their time is spent wasted in classes that will never properly serve them. It’s important for these students to understand the resources available to them to assist in “lightening the load.”
Do you still teach?
Not in a public school. I loved that job, but the pay was lousy (especially in this economy!). I decided to continue teaching in a more profitable and flexible situation- my own business. I happily teach classes on academic and fitness subjects throughout the week.
How did you get started writing freelance academic papers?
I just started helping out fellow soldiers who had families. It grew from there.
What is your writing style?
I am versatile. However, I find most professors like the student to get to the point and get the required information in. But, I can sound anyway I need to.
Do you have any advice for potential clients?
Pursue your interests and get rid of the excess. Don’t let extra work stop you from pursuing your educational goals. Look for the resources available and use them to help lessen your academic burden.
What kind of resources?
There are many. Tutoring is one. Custom Essays offers a number of writing resources, from editing services to model papers. Use the expertise of the writers on staff to assist you.
Well, thanks Gerald! We appreciate your time.
No problem. Good luck with your education!
