Where did you get all these essay from?

All the essays on this site have been submitted by other students (except a few of my own essays). We appreciate the generosity of everyone who submits their essay and welcome all submissions.

I can't find the essay I want on your site. Can you send it to me?

All the essays we have are available for free on this site. To get an essay on your exact topic, have a look at the custom writing.

Why are there mistakes in some of these essays?

Because the essays on this site are submitted by other students, they may contain mistakes. However, content mistakes cannot be fixed, because I do not necessarily have in depth knowledge of the subject.

I have a question about an essay, can you help me?

No! I don't write the essays, so I'm in no position to help people out. All I can suggest is to ask other students in the forums

Can I submit an essay of my own?

Of course. Just go to the submit page and paste your essay in the form. You will have to sign up for a username and password first.

Why do I have to sign up?

The signup system allows you to fully participate in PlanetPapers, including posting messages in the forums, posting comments about essays and submitting and modifying your own essays.

We ask that everyone signs up before submitting an essay to ensure that the real author of the essay can make changes (or remove) their essay, and can prove to their teachers that the essay is in fact theirs, if accused of plagiarism.

I can't find the bibliography for an essay. Can you send it to me?

Not all essays are submitted to us with bibliographies. If we do have the bibliography for the essay, it will already be on the essay, so if it's not there, we don't have it.

I want to cite an essay here, but there is no author listed on the essay. Can you tell me who the author is?

No. If the author wishes to remain anonymous, then you can simply cite the essay as written by 'anonymous'. This is perfectly legitimate, you'd be surprised by the number of published books written by anonymous authors. Take a look at the list at amazon.com
