How the Spotlight works
Tool makers pay to appear on this board. The more you pay in total, the higher you sit. It costs €10 plus VAT to get on, and €1 more than the listing above you to pass it. If two listings have paid the same, the one that got there first stays ahead.
Your listing goes live as soon as your payment is confirmed. Pay again from the same website and it adds to your total. Your Stripe receipt is your invoice. Paid positions are advertising. They never buy a review, a recommendation or a place in our writing-opportunity databases.
What belongs in this spotlight?
Legitimate help with writing
Editing and grammar support, writing apps, research and notes, publishing services, and clearly described courses or coaching.
Clear limits
No AI essay writers or homework generators, no contract cheating, and no promises to evade plagiarism detection. Publishing services cannot guarantee acceptance, sales or awards. We remove listings that break these rules and refund them.
Paying more never overrides these rules. Report a listing or ask a question.
