There will be an answer, let it be

It depends on the format! We charge different flat prices for standard blog posts, longer blog posts, website page, and social media posts. A price and description list can be found on our pricing and formats page.

Absolutely! Every job is passed through our plagiarism checking friends at iThenticate.

The short answer is yes! But the long answer is we need to verify a few things before we let you rack up a tab on Scripted. Please call or email us to get the process started: (415) 795-4053 or contact@scripted.com.

You can also refer to our VIP services page and fill out the form at our VIP page.

We have two delivery options: standard and rush. Our standard delivery time is five business days. Our rush delivery is three for $10 more. If you have a tighter turnaround, feel free to contact us: (415) 795-4053 or contact@scripted.com.

We allow you to "favorite" any writer on Scripted and this will automatically give that writer preference on all of your jobs. However, because your favorite writer may not be available or able to complete high volume requests, we cannot guarantee that your favorite writer will be assigned to every job.

If you have a high volume job that requires specific writer credentials, we can certainly make custom arrangements. Please contact us and we'd be happy to discuss the details of your project: (415) 795-4053 or contact@scripted.com.

Each job on Scripted is eligible for one edit request, and you have three days to request edits before your job auto-accepts. To request edits, go to your Finished Jobs tab on your Dashboard and click the Review button. A page should open with your completed document. At the top of the page you'll see two buttons: Request Edits and Accept. If you're not happy with the job, click the Request Edits button and a form will appear to provide additional details for the writer.

Writers are given a maximum of three days to complete your edits and submit the job a second time. If you're still not satisfied with the post, you will see a new option to Reject the blog post, but we also limit this review period to three business days. If you choose to Reject, you will not be billed for that job.

Your wish is our command! We are building a network of great photographers for custom photos, and we can also include creative commons or stock photos with your blog posts. This is a custom format, so call or email us if you're interested in pictures.

Anything else you need written that is not listed as a standard format can be built as a custom format in Scripted. This includes product descriptions, apartment listings, hotel reviews, short travel points of interest, and anything else. We mean it. If it can be written, we can write it.

Start by creating your Scripted profile here: writer registration page.

After creating your profile, you’ll be prompted to take a short test. From there, submit a writing sample of at least 250 words to one or more specialties. A specialty is an industry you are particularly knowledgeable in.

If your application is rejected, it is not possible to reapply. Put your best writing sample forward!

If your specialty application is marked as invalid, however, you will be notified by email and receive feedback on how to submit a valid writing sample. You can reapply by logging in to your Scripted profile, then clicking on the specialty under "specialties".

For U.S. writers, payments are sent via Bill.com (non-U.S. writers, see FAQ #5 for payment information).

In order to create a Bill.com account, follow these steps:

• After completing your profile, you will receive an e-mail from Bill.com, prompting you to create your account.
• If you DO NOT receive the invitation via email within one or two days please let us know by filling out this form, and we will re-issue the invite.
• Payments will be sent on the 15th and last business day of each month via direct deposit, or check.
• For electronic payment (direct deposit), your bank account information will need to be entered in Bill.com and then verified. This verification process can take up to five business days.
• If you prefer checks to electronic payment, ignore the Bill.com invitation email and you will receive paper checks by mail to the address listed on your Scripted profile. These will go out approximately 1 week after each pay period.

When creating your account on Bill.com, you’ll be able to link it to your bank account. Please note, it can take up to 5 days to verify a bank account in Bill.com.

Bill.com payments can be sent in two ways:

• Direct deposit (this may take up to two days to process)
• Paper check (this may take up to five business days to process)

Payments will be sent on the 15th and the last weekday of each month.

For non-U.S. residents, payments are sent via PayPal. To ensure you receive payments on time, the e-mail address you use to log in to PayPal with should match the e-mail you use to log into Scripted.

For non-U.S. residents, payments are sent via PayPal. To ensure you receive payments on time, you must complete the address section of your Scripted profile.

PayPal payments are sent to the e-mail address you have on file with Scripted.

There are two reasons you may not have access to a job in your approved specialties:

Countdown

When viewing additional details on a job, there may be a countdown timer in the top-right corner of your screen. If a countdown appears next to the job, this reflects the amount of time you must wait until the job will become available. Writers with the highest score in each specialty are given first access to jobs, so improve your score to gain priority access to new jobs!

This job is only available to hand-picked writers

This occurs when a very specific background or expertise is required for the job (e.g., some travel pieces require writers who live in the specified region). If you feel you qualify for a specific “hand-picked writer” job, you can e-mail contact@scripted.com to be considered for the project.

To submit an original topic to a client, look over the pitches available in the “Pitches” section of your profile, located on the left side of your screen.

After reading over the details of a pitch and what must be included, submit your article title along with 1-2 sentences on what you intend to cover in the article. If a client likes your topic, it’ll be turned into a job in your queue and you’ll have 4 business days to complete it.

You increase your writer score when you receive a positive review from a client, or when you submit work early.

However, if you receive a negative client review or submit work late, your writer score will drop.

No. All work on Scripted is ghostwriting, meaning that you will not receive a by-line (unless otherwise specified in the job details).

You are welcome, however, to list yourself as a writer on Scripted.com on your social media profiles and resume. Note: You do not have publication rights on any writing jobs done on Scripted. You may keep it in your private portfolio, but you are legally not able to publish content submitted through Scripted on your personal website, blog, or any other public medium.

We need your signed W9 in order to remain in compliance with tax law, and to allow you to legally do work as a contractor for Scripted. This applies to any US citizen.

If you are from outside the US, you should instead submit a W8BEN form (available online).

Scripted uses bank level security to protect all W9 forms, meaning this information is private and will not be shared with any third parties under any circumstances.
