When you use our advanced requested writer feature, we work extremely hard to ensure that your writer is going to be available. We use various signals and internal data points to predict whether they will accept the order in the first place.

For example, our writers have profile settings like vacation mode where they can mark themselves as away. We also take into account the writer's current workload so they have time to complete your requested writer order.

These are just a few of the many signals we use when deciding whether to show a writer as available - and we're improving our technology every day to make it even more reliable. As of October (2016), the requested writer acceptance rate is 90%, meaning that there is a 9/10 chance they will be available.

Please make sure to read our writer availability policy before requesting a writer from the order form.
