Is it illegal to write essays for money?

I'm great at, and enjoy writing essays, but I don't know anyone who does. Can I make money off this talent of mine? Is it illegal?
Additional Details
So if I write an essay that is completely and wholly original, I can sell it to a friend and they can turn it in and it's not illegal?

It's morally wrong, especially if you're doing it for people who are using your talents to move up in the world uncredited or take your work to be their own... that being said, there is an incredibly large market in universities for essay writers. I made $20 pumping out an essay once. Easy ****.

EDIT 6:47 AM: In high school, yes this is something that is highly frowned upon. It is viewed as plagiarism and will cost both you and the person whose essay you're writing a lot of respect and trust from your teachers if you get caught. Be careful if you attempt to proceed.

nope.just wrong for them to be used by other as their own

Not illegal at all. Many great writers were great essayists. They can be published in newspapers, magazines, and as collections.

It would be deceptive, and therefore leave you subject to legal action if there were consequences, for you to offer them to students to use as their own.

Nope, it's legal as long as you don't copy *COPY RIGHTED* work.

So yeah it legal to write and sell essays. It's just it against school rules for students to buy them, but it's not illegal as in court wise.

Do you live in a society with a free market?

No people do this all the time. They are called Authors.
