What we're about

Reducing stress & anxiety

If you're panicking about writing papers - you've come to the right place! We've helped countless students go from knowing nothing about the APA & MLA formats to creating perfectly formatted papers in no time. And, if you run into trouble, our US-based Support Team is available every day until 10pm Central to get you back on track.

Saving you time & effort

Digging through the APA and MLA manuals is a nightmare. We save you time and effort by formatting the paper for you: citations, references, figures, text-styles, abstracts, appendices, everything! We even save your references so you can reuse them again in your future papers.


Getting the best grade possible

Feel confident that all of your formatting is correct when using PERRLA. We handle all the nit-picky formatting rules for you so you won't lose any points, giving you the best grade possible right from the get-go.



PERRLA's story

Our story starts with one dude (Gary) who had to do something sucky – write tons of APA papers. He built a software program to make it suck less. Then, he shared it with his classmates and writing sucked less for them too. Not much later, PERRLA was born. That’s been our motivation ever since - making something sucky suck less for more people.
Since then, countless other students have faced the anxiety and stress of writing papers. We get a lot of satisfaction helping students overcome those fears and become successful writers so they can get through school to start the next chapter in their lives. Click here to see and hear  from some of the students we've helped through the years.
We started out talking about us, but our story isn't finished. With each completed paper, each graduating student our story continues. We love the idea of being a part of other people's stories as they go on to do good in the world.
