Writing Creek

So I applied to be a writer and after taking the test I was denied for not getting enough points. After noticing several mistakes during the test, such as omitted words and poor grammar, I went to look up reviews and came across this site. It surprises me that I failed the English test to become a writer, but the HR of the writer's department that you currently have responding to these reviews would clearly fail the test herself. How on Earth did she get her position when others who have a better grasp of the English language were denied?

I have been working as a writer for Writing Creek for quite some time now, and I must say that my experience with this company has been nothing short of frustrating and disheartening. It is disheartening to see how this company manipulates its writers, stresses them out, and pays them a mere fraction of what the clients pay.
One of the most infuriating aspects of Writing Creek is their flawed system that detects questions as plagiarism when uploading work with typed-in answers. This not only hampers the writer's progress but also affects their overall performance. It is incredibly unfair that a slight mistake or misunderstanding can lead to the suspension of an account for an entire week when such issues could easily be resolved within seconds.
Furthermore, the support team at Writing Creek is utterly unhelpful. Instead of addressing writers' concerns and providing solutions, they simply refer writers to the manager, who takes an eternity to respond to emails and does so in a rude manner. This lack of efficiency and professionalism is highly disappointing.
What adds insult to injury is the fact that Writing Creek fails to adjust its flawed system, despite numerous complaints from writers. As a result, writers like myself, who have completed over 500 orders and received a high rating of 4.9 from clients, are still subjected to a composite score of less than 10%. On the other hand, writers with fewer orders and lower ratings somehow manage to maintain a composite score of 60%. This inconsistency and lack of fairness are deeply frustrating.
After enduring such stress and unfair treatment, I have decided to seek employment with another writing company. Writing Creek has pushed me to my limits, and I can no longer tolerate their inefficient system and lack of support. I hope that other writers considering working with this company will take my experience into account and choose a more reputable and fair platform.

I applied for the test I passed it, then I passed the essay test and according to their customer support i got 26/30 and I was informed that I did pass the test but then after 3 days the writers dept. mails me to inform that I am not qualified for the position. It was a horrible experience, sheer injustice, and a complete waste of time.

Don't ever rely on this website. I am using other website like writerbay and sweetstudy but this website is worst. Have done 46 orders with 5 stars with no fines. They restrict my account on 13 march and reply me on 12th april stating that i have done any suspicious activity. They said that my account is used from different Ip from different countries but the account is sorely used by me. Totally disappointed. Waste my effort of 1 month and lose my account without doing anything wrong. Don't rely on them if you looking for a long term work. They will restrict your account with no valid proof.

Worst site that I ever came across. First I get an email saying that you have passed the test and now there are only few steps left. Send your official Id and diploma to become a registered writer on our platform. But later when i tried to login with my email, then that page is showing that I am not registered.

They advertise ‘for beginners'. I've been a freelance writer for many years, with published works. Not to mention a bachelors degree, with many essays under my belt.
The details of entry tests was ridiculous.
They lock you out of the account and won't disclose why you were declined. When I contacted them ask, they were extremely rude and abruptly ended the chat. I would find somewhere that is more customer based, if they treat potential employees this way, I'm sure they are just as rude to customers who pay them.

I believe this is a company who draws people in, collects personal info and data, then solicits and sells them to marketing firms online for compensation. It's a growing business and it's shady. I am submitting information to the government and law enforcement, because I feel there is a bigger underlying issue here. If I'm wrong, we'll at least they have been looking into for legal services.

Make sure you read those terms and services. Just WOW! They can change anything they want, whenever they want, you can't do a thing about it. They just have to post them to their platform. Sheesh! Steer clear folks…. Read their entire terms….

I have recently started my writing career with these guys, and so far - I'm loving it! I have to mention that they have the sweetest managers in my life. The mentor is kind and friendly; we are always in touch with her. She helped me with my first steps, shared the guides, and even sent me a congratulation email when I win the first order. I feel 100% valued even though I don't have much experience. I was also surprised by the option to set your own bid per page.

The questions meant for evaluation are always similar... I tried to open an account. I passed one but with similar answers I failed...! The reason... IP addresses were different. One from Canada other one Congo. I failed the test of the one from Congo. Let me not speculate... but I see danger. I used to here about the same from people and decided to take a trial... I can't do the essay because I know they will fail me because I confronted them on the same... the first test was a pass the other one I got "0" crap!

Declining application with no reason. I passed all the tests including the essay. Very unfair site, and I think they should also review their HR department too.

I wanted to restore my account with them, wrote a few emails but all in vain. No answer. This is not a proper way to make business.

There is this divorcee by the name Marla who terminates accounts on the basis of suspicion when in the actual sense it is racism disturbing her. I have been working with these people, managed to rise to the top level very fast with the number of returning clients I had, but because I am a writer from South Africa, I was accused of engaging in suspicious activities and that is how they terminated my account. I am sad because they declined my actual college documents and a video clip showing the same documents they used in creating the account. We can bring this site down for racism.

This is the most useless website with a reasonable number of cons including the so called writers' managers and billing department. They stole my money and they never paid me. May you continue fail with that foolish website of yours. None sense!

I wrote the prescribed test in May 2021 and was rejected on the basis of "undisclosed reasons," like many others here. On enquiry with their 24/7 support, I was told it was because my essay was not up to scratch. I may not be a stellar writer, but I've garnered awards for my writing and went on a Summer Program with Duke University in my country for my standard of work.
When I tried to apply again and was told my account was declined (in Jan 2022), a Support Staff named Maddy let me know that I could reapply within 3 months from the original application date. This is obviously fallacious, considering I applied in May 2021. I was then directed to another Staffer named Jolene today (17th Jan 2022), who let me know I can only contact the platform for assistance through email and that this so-called Support can do nothing for me. She also declined to let me speak to anyone senior to her, proclaiming herself as the Shift Manager, indicating a suspicious lack of internal structure to the platform. If I can talk to support, why can't they direct me to someone within the appropriate department for my query? And even if that isn't possible, why is there no avenue for my case to be forwarded so I can simply follow up and don't have to go through the same long-winded explanation each time? She also informed me that my only recourse was applying with an alternate mail - which platform endorses something like that? Its incredibly suspicious and worrying.
After dodging my questions for a while and not allowing me to leave a complaint on their Support experience, I terminated the chat and found these reviews. It's clear from the responses dating back to 2020 that "Kim T" or any other representative of Writing Creek on this platform simply responds with "We are as disturbed with this as you are. Please forward your XYZ Number/Details," with no real resolution. It's a shameful endeavour and unfortunately pulls in several individuals like me looking to make their skills profitable.

There is someone in Pakistan claiming to work for writing creek and he's just scamming people taking the money from them and neither hiring them not giving their money back, and on top of that he just started cussing at me. And I also want to know if there is any policy that asks you to submit 5 USD to get registered and almost 20-50 to get the work. For anyone wondering that 5 USD isn't even that much why is she making a scene, the only thing I want to say is that I'm from Pakistan and that amount of money can feed a family for a month in Pakistan. That's how we live and I want my money back.

The best reviews on Sitejabber are typically detailed and informative, describing a personal experience with a website or business. You can talk about pros and cons, what you liked or disliked, and why you'd recommend it (or not). A good rule of thumb might be to ask yourself, "Would I find this review useful?" or "What do I wish I knew when I first found this business?"

Reviews can cover the services or products offered by a particular website, but can also contain feedback about the content of their site (if it's a news site or a site hosting funny videos, for example). Basically, you can review anything that has a website.

This platform has provided me opportunity to earn through my writing skills and guided me at each step. I really enjoyed working with them.

They mailed me to give the photo id for verification and said that I successfully passed both the tests and then when I mailed them my photo id they mail me that my application has been declined. There was no need to play with someone feelings like that. Very unprofessional behavior.

If you are seeking to have a long-term writing career, this isn't a suitable platform. They terminated my account, without any valid reason whatsoever. What was the essence of approving my account to work with them and then terminating it for invalid reasons? They are dream shutters and do not deserve writers.

Non-native writers stay away from this site. It is a big scam. These people will never let you grow because they're a group of racist people who will terminate your account without any reason. First, they will restrict you to orders without any reason then they will terminate it. They try their best to give you policies, which they don't follow. They did it with me. I will share some proofs here so you can publically see it. I know, they will delete it but I will continue doing it. I support all the writers who have shared their experiences here.
PS: They have written on their site that as per their policy an account for suspicious activity will be blocked for two months, which is a big lie. Check the SS for both emails and you will know that they're a big scam.

Worked as a freelancer in this platform. Very unprofessional, support team cannot even assist in simple things, they keep referring to account manager. Recently introduced another thing called composite score. That thing sucks, imagine finishing more than 200 tasks but score keeps declining. How can you rank writers who have worked for years on the same rank with beginners? The older writers are disadvantaged because of metrics such as reassign rate, cancellation rate, plagiarism rate etc. I think there should be a better metric. Another thing, these people charge very high but give writers of peanuts. For example, a client pays $120 and the writer will get $15. To make the matter worse, a small mistake and you will be fined. They thrive in making writers slaves with little pay. Very poor
The funds are held for 14 days. I dont think holding funds for 14 days really helps because in my entire 2years i did not encounter refunds. Why dont they make it 7 days or even 3,? They have also started another thing called bid per order. Very sucking, they make writers do much work for little pay.
I would propose that: they do away with composite score, reduce holding period, and increase pay for writers, you cannot charge 150 to give writer 20. It is not fair at all.

I applied to this platform on 5th July and cleared the tests in one go. The waiting period was extending beyond the initially expected line. At every stage, I chatted with their customer service. Unfortunately, received an email that I did not make it. I do hope to join them in the future for the simple reason that they have always been courteous and professional. Makes me wonder, if they are so good before joining them, how good the experience will be once a person joins them.

I work there.

I say all this because of the percentage of the order price that we get. Usually an order can be $80 and you would be getting a disappointing $20.
Customer service is good, the constant flow of orders is if you don't have any current orders, because if you do, you'll ne restricted from taking on new ones.

Result of application took a month to get a result. Then, another 1-2 weeks for verification. The hiring manager is very slow in replying. It would take a week or two unless you bombard them with emails. They will ask you for documents then selfies holding those documents, plus a verification call. If you were not able to answer it once, they will decline your application without giving another chance to answer the call. Efforts of passing the tests and sending them the required documents will become useless because of not being able to answer the "once in a lifetime call".
I hope you improve in responding to emails. Don't just collect documents from us then you will decline the application.
