How many words in a page? One page is roughly 300 words. The industry standard is Times New Roman font 12, double spaced. Do I pay for references, title page and table of contents? No, you never pay for those, just make sure you indicate whether you need the title page and TOC. References are always free and do not count towards the overall word count. What is a custom paper? A custom paper is written specifically for you, it is not copied from the web, but built around arguments drawn from scholarly literature. This is important because there are services out there that sell pre-written papers which have already been submitted for credit.
