Well a little more professional than that. I already discussing my paper with my university writing center. But they just actually help with mostly grammar correction. I was needing help in framing my words. Kinda like the ones used in political speeches.

It doesn't get much more professional than a university professor save for a few select people

If you cannot write like you speak, then you need to review your grammar. If somebody else writes it, then it will not be in your voice.

In honesty, no one speaks with proper grammar. I am aware of many grammatical rules, but I am not perfect. I don't want someone to write my paper. I just want someone to help organize it. I have my paper. When I wrote it, I really just put down a bunch of thoughts onto the paper. I would also like help in framing, which is proper diction and organizing.

When I'm at work, I do speak with proper grammar. Working with a globally-sourced work force compels me.

If you're looking to make your essay the most persuasive, go find the best writer you personally know.

If you're the best writer you know, then you might have a problem bigger than this august forum could possibly handle.

My firm writes technical reports based on scientific data. They are reviewed by clients, regulators, lenders, and attorneys. Large and small property transactions are made or broken by our conclusions and recommendations. Proper grammar is imperative. My firm's credibility, even survival, depends on it.
