Speech Writing Service - A Script Written for the Ear, Priced at $0.12 per Word

GradeDraft's speech writing service is for academic and school speeches: class assignments, graduation and valedictorian speeches, award and student-government speeches. It prices the unit a speaker actually thinks in, minutes, through a flat $0.12-per-word rate, and delivers a script written for the ear, not for the page, with delivery marks built into the file. It is part of our custom research paper writing service, run by the same desk.

Speech writing service: what arrives, when, and what it costs

A speech writing services order starts with your occasion, audience, and time slot, and the price is set before any writing starts: $0.12 per word, plus 40% only if the script is due in under 12 hours. What arrives is a script formatted for delivery, marked with pauses and emphasis, plus a timed read-through length so you know it fits your slot before you rehearse it once. GradeDraft's research paper desk also writes a slide deck with speaker notes when your assignment needs both a script and slides; this page covers the spoken script alone, including a teleprompter-ready version on request.

Speeches we write

Class assignments and school occasions come through the same desk, priced the same way, per word. Private-event speeches are outside this service.

Class speeches: informative, persuasive and demonstrative

An informative speech explains a topic without arguing for a position; a persuasive speech argues for one and is often built on Monroe's Motivated Sequence, the five-step structure (attention, need, satisfaction, visualization, action) many public-speaking rubrics grade against. A demonstrative speech walks the audience through doing something, step by step, in the order they'd actually do it. Each type gets its rubric items named in the script: a clear thesis stated early, verbal signposting between points, and sources cited aloud where the assignment requires it. If the talk presents a case you analyzed, the written analysis is a separate case study writing order.

Graduation, valedictorian and commencement speeches

A graduation speech writer works from your own stories and your class's shared experience, not a generic template with your school's name dropped in. A valedictorian speech or commencement speech often has a slot of 5 to 10 minutes set by the school, and what makes it land is a clear arc from where the class started to where it is headed next.

Award, scholarship and student-government speeches

Shorter occasions, usually 1 to 3 minutes, still need a structure: one clear ask or one clear thank-you, a specific detail that makes it yours rather than generic, and a close that lands before the time runs out. A student-government campaign speech usually adds one more requirement a class speech doesn't: a concrete platform point stated early enough that an audience remembers it after the speech ends, not buried in the closing seconds.

How many words is a 5-minute speech, and what does it cost

How much does it cost to hire a speech writer is really two questions: how long is the speech, and how many words does that length need. Both answers are below.

Minutes to words at 130 words per minute

This table assumes 130 words per minute, a conversational pace. A slower speaker runs closer to 110 words per minute, and a faster one closer to 150, so treat the row as a starting point and confirm your own pace with a timed read-through once the script arrives. There is no slide-count column here; slides are priced on the presentation page. The full rate card is on the price list.

Worked examples

5-minute persuasive class speech: 650 words × $0.12 = $78.00. 10-minute commencement speech: 1,300 words × $0.12 = $156.00.

Hire a speech writer: what you send us

A speech writer for hire works faster and closer to your voice with more input, not less. If your request is simply "write my speech for me," send these with it:

What to send before you brief a speech
  • The occasion and audience
  • Your time slot, in minutes
  • The rubric or event brief, if one exists
  • Three stories or facts only you know
  • Names in the speech, with pronunciation notes
  • Any line that must be said word for word
  • Sources you were assigned to cite

The single most useful thing you can send is a two-minute voice memo of yourself talking through the topic in your own words. It's how the finished script ends up sounding like you instead of like a template with your name typed in.

Who writes your speech

A professional speech writer on GradeDraft's research paper desk writes your script, working from your brief and your voice memo rather than a stock structure reused across every order. We don't publish writer names or star credits. Instead, any speechwriter for hire on the desk shows you a sample paragraph in your topic before you pay, and the writers page explains how the desk works.

Desk

Research paper desk

Research papers, term papers, case studies, lab reports, annotated bibliographies, and discussion posts with full citation work (APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago 17).

A composite sample: a 60-second opening with delivery marks

Here is a composite opening for a graduation speech, written for the ear with delivery marks built in, plus three notes. It is not a client's speech.

Composite sample written by GradeDraft

Composite graduation speech opening, 60 seconds

Four years ago, most of us walked into this building not knowing a single other name in the room. [pause] Today, I could tell you a story about almost everyone sitting behind me. That's the part nobody puts on the brochure.

  1. 1

    Short sentences and a stated pause do the work a paragraph break does on the page; a script written for the eye alone tends to run long, unbroken sentences that are hard to deliver from memory.

We spent four years being told to find our passion, [pause] and most of us are leaving having found something quieter and more useful: we found out what we can finish.

  1. 2

    The repeated phrase "we found" across two sentences is a spoken device, not a written one. It gives the audience a rhythm to follow by ear, where a reader could simply re-read a sentence that didn't land the first time.

Four years, almost fifteen hundred days, [breath] and every single one of them got us here.

  1. 3

    The number is rounded (1,461 days becomes "almost fifteen hundred") and spelled out, because a listener cannot re-read a figure and a round number is easier to say and to remember.

Write my speech: order to delivery

  1. Brief: you send the occasion, audience, time slot, and rubric or event brief, plus your voice memo.
  2. Quote: you get a per-word price within 2 hours, 8 am-11 pm ET, seven days a week.
  3. First draft: the writer delivers a script with delivery marks built in, timed to your slot.
  4. Read-aloud notes and revision: you read the script aloud, send back timing and word notes, and get the revision back before you approve.

Nothing is paid upfront. Once you approve the final script, a Stripe invoice (card or bank transfer) arrives, and only then. That is the whole process for speech writing help, and the how it works page shows it in more detail. If the paper your talk is drawn from still needs writing, the paper your talk is based on can be ordered the same way.

After delivery: revisions, timing check, confidentiality

Your revision window is 14 days after delivery, at no extra charge. Read the script aloud once it arrives and time yourself: if your read runs long or short against your slot, send us the timing and the trim or extension is a revision, not a new order. If the script still misses your brief after a revision and can't be fixed inside the window, a refund review opens instead of a further attempt.

Confidentiality

We never publish your name, your school, or your documents, and no order is reused for another client. The guarantees page and samples page set out the full terms.

Speech writing questions

Can you write my graduation speech?

Yes. Send your occasion, your class or program, and any stories only you know, and the research paper desk writes a script sized to your time slot at $0.12 per word. A two-minute voice memo of you talking about the topic is the single most useful thing you can send.

How long does it take to write a speech?

You get a quote within 2 hours of sending your brief, 8 am-11 pm ET, seven days a week. The first draft's turnaround depends on your deadline, which you set when you brief the order; only a script due in under 12 hours adds 40% to the per-word rate.

Can I request changes after delivery?

Yes. You have 14 days after delivery for free revisions against your original brief. Reading the script aloud and sending back timing notes is part of that process: if your read runs over or under your slot, the trim or extension counts as a revision, not a new order.

Will the speech sound like me?

That's the goal of the brief checklist above, especially the two-minute voice memo: a script built from your own stories and your own way of talking about them reads closer to your voice than one built from a generic template. You also get a revision round specifically to flag any line that doesn't sound like something you'd say.

Can an AI speech writer do the same job?

Not for this. A generic AI script has no access to your stories, your rubric, your audience, or your exact time slot, all of which shape a script written for a specific occasion. Every GradeDraft speech is drafted by a person on the research paper desk from your actual brief, with a Turnitin originality report included.
