Our Story
How We Got Here!
EssayNook’s dissertation service wasn’t born in some glossy corporate boardroom—it crawled out of the trenches of academic suffering. Our founder was just another sleep-deprived postgrad in 2007, mainlining coffee while trying to wrestle a dissertation into submission, all while working evenings and attempting to maintain something resembling a human existence.
“I hit rock bottom at 3 AM on a Tuesday. There I was, surrounded by methodology books that might as well have been written in ancient Sumerian, staring at the same paragraph for five hours. Meanwhile, my supervisor was sipping cocktails on holiday for two weeks. The university’s brilliant advice? ‘Just push through it.’ That’s when I realized the system wasn’t just difficult—it was properly broken.”
After somehow surviving their dissertation, our founder connected with other academic war veterans who shared eerily similar horror stories. Together, they built what they desperately wished had existed during their darkest moments: a service that offered actual help without the judgy “you should have started earlier” lectures.
What began as a ragtag group in a tiny Manchester flat quickly snowballed as word spread. We pulled together British academics who not only had the qualifications but also the battle scars to truly understand what dissertation hell feels like from the inside.
Fifteen years and thousands of rescued dissertations later, we’ve grown from helping panicked students at a few UK unis to supporting undergrads and postgrads across four countries. But we’re still the same at heart—we’re the people you text at midnight when your supervisor has ghosted you, when SPSS has reduced you to tears, or when you’re trying to figure out how to write 15,000 words while also remembering to occasionally shower.
We’ve stared into the same dissertation abyss you’re facing. We survived it. And we’ve got the roadmap to get you through it too—with your degree, your sanity, and most of your hair still intact.
Our Mission
Look, universities love to pretend writing a dissertation is this magical scholarly journey. The reality? It’s often a sleep-deprived nightmare that makes you question your life choices at 3 AM. We exist because academic institutions create impossible situations—expecting polished, graduate-level research from students who are simultaneously working jobs, caring for families, and trying not to have complete breakdowns.
Our mission isn’t complicated: we’re here to level the playing field by providing the dissertation support that universities promise but rarely deliver.
The Team Behind Your Success
Academic Directors
Our team is led by PhD holders who’ve crawled through the dissertation trenches themselves (and have the caffeine addiction to prove it). They oversee quality control and writer matching, ensuring you don’t get stuck with someone who thinks your psychology dissertation is about psychics.
Subject Specialists
Our writers include former lecturers, researchers, and published academics who know exactly what your university is looking for. Many continue to work within higher education, giving them insider knowledge about what makes supervisors tick (and what makes them reach for the red pen).
Support Team
Available practically 24/7 (because dissertation panic doesn’t respect office hours), our support specialists understand the unique hell of dissertation writing and provide both technical assistance and the occasional “you’ve got this” when you’re ready to throw your laptop out the window.
Writer Selection Process
Only 8% of applicants make it through our vetting process. Each writer must:
- Hold at least a Master’s degree in their specialty field (PhD preferred)
- Pass writing assessments that would make most academics sweat
- Demonstrate they actually understand UK, US, Australia & Canada university requirements
- Regularly prove they’re still up to scratch (no resting on laurels here)
What Makes Us Different
Real Humans, Real Expertise
While others have jumped on the AI bandwagon faster than freshers on free pizza, we’ve doubled down on human expertise. Every dissertation is written by someone who actually understands your subject – because let’s face it, ChatGPT can’t produce the critical analysis that gets first-class marks.
Specialist Matching, Not Generic Writers
We don’t assign your nursing dissertation to someone whose medical experience consists of binge-watching Grey’s Anatomy. Your project goes to someone with relevant qualifications in your specific field, ensuring they won’t embarrass you with rookie mistakes.
Support Beyond Just Writing
We offer consultation calls when you’re panicking, detailed feedback on your existing work (however rough it might be), strategies for dealing with your impossible supervisor, and sometimes just a sympathetic ear when it all gets too much. Many clients tell us the hand-holding was just as valuable as the actual dissertation.
Our Process
1. Understanding Your Needs
We start with a proper chat about what you actually need, not some generic form-filling exercise. Whether you’ve got a fully-formed topic or you’re still choosing between three vague ideas, we’ll meet you where you are. Already have a half-written literature review that’s gone off the rails? We’ll look at it. Collected a folder of PDFs but don’t know what to do with them? Send them over. Only need help with your methodology chapter because quantitative analysis makes you break out in hives? No problem.
We’ll talk about your actual timeline; no sugarcoating, no shame. If you’re two weeks out and just now opening your outline, we’re not here to scold. We just need to know where things stand so we can step in and help where it counts. Because dissertation help isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we’re not about to pretend it is.
2. Expert Matching
We’ll pair you with someone who actually gets your subject—not just someone who’s available. You’ll see their qualifications before we start, so you know you’re not getting the work experience kid.
3. Collaborative Development
Your writer will keep in touch throughout (no mysterious disappearances). For longer dissertations, you’ll get chapters as they’re completed, so you can actually see progress and provide feedback as we go.

Great Feedback
98% Client Satisfaction

100% HUMAN SUPPORT
Your Dissertation, Our Priority
In the past, I’ve used this one writer for my dissertation work. His expertise on the topic was impressive, and his responses to my concerns were quick. The quality of the work was great, he clearly understood my research topic. Given the high-quality standard of the previous assignment, I’ve decided to use them for Chapter 2 as well.

Trustpilot Review
I was a bit unsure, but I chose to give Essaynook’s proofreading service a shot. I forwarded them Chapter 1 of my dissertation, and I was pleasantly surprised by their ability to smooth out the changes requested by my IRB committee. They saved me a lot of time working on my chapter 1, I highly recommend them.

My literature review was well-structured and covered all the texts I needed to include. The citations were flawless. It wasn’t the most creative analysis I’ve seen, but it was solid and earned me a B+
