FAQ

Professional writing questions.

How long does it take?
Most orders are delivered in 3–5 business days after you complete the intake questionnaire. Your dashboard shows the expected date.
Can I talk to my writer?
Yes. You can reach your writer by email throughout your order. Calls are not included in the standard package.
What if I’m not happy with the draft?
One round of revisions is included. Tell your writer what to change and they’ll update the draft. If something still isn’t right, our support team will help.
Will the writer add skills or achievements I don’t have?
No. Writers only use information you provide and confirm. Accuracy matters — you’ll need to speak to everything on your resume in interviews.
