The number of reference is flexible, you can add your own resources if available and needed.
Technically, the writer only need to add some 1000 words, as I already made 1000 words of proposal essay. (I also send the essay proposal that has been marked by my lecturer, please pay attention for her advise). I pay extra 375 words to give you more space if my proposal is difficult to expand (you can change some idea). The writer might add the introduction, the discussion, etc to make the essay flows better and coherence.
Please provide me where information/idea is being drawn from (Sources/author, year, page, and PARAGRAPH) in order to make me easy to do checking process. To avoid repeated revise order, please cited accurately. I have bad experience from another writer about wrong cited essay.
