Nobody's perfect all the time—and now, you don’t have to be!

There are times when you just want to write without worrying about every grammar or spelling convention. The online proofreader immediately finds all of your errors. This allows you to concentrate on the bigger picture. You’ll be 100% confident that your writing won’t affect your grade.

English proofreading service

What does a proofreader do?

The proofreading process is your last chance to catch any errors in your writing before you submit it. A proofreader makes sure your spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors are reviewed and fixed. This can be done automatically by an AI-powered tool like the one at the top of this page or by a real human. Both options have their advantages, so pick the one that suits you most.

word use

Fix mistakes that slip under your radar

✔ Fix problems with commonly confused words, like affect vs. effect, which vs. that and who vs. that.

✔ Catch words that sound similar but aren’t, like their vs. they’re, your vs. you’re.

✔ Check your punctuation to avoid errors with dashes and hyphens, commas, apostrophes, and more.

✔ Avoid sentence fragments, subject-verb agreement errors, and problems with parallelism.

How does the proofreader work?

The online proofreader.

It’s really straightforward. Just paste the text into the tool. All your errors will now be underlined in red. You can hover over these mistakes to see how they can be addressed. If you agree, just click on the button “Fix all errors,” and your mistakes will be fixed instantly! 

Proofreading process

The professional proofreader

Upload your entire document first. Choose the pages you want proofread, the extra services you want to use, and the deadline. Then fill in some key details like your field of study so that we can find you the best proofreader. When you’re done, you pay for your order, and we make sure that your writing is checked by a proofreader. You’ll be contacted when the job is done!

Frequently asked questions

Our support team is here to help you daily via chat, WhatsApp, email, or phone between 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. CET.

Yes! Our personal statement editors can help you reduce your word count by up to 25%. You can choose to receive this feedback through direct edits or suggestions in comments – just select your choice when you upload your personal statement.

Our APA experts default to APA 7 for editing and formatting. For the Citation Editing Service you are able to choose between APA 6 and 7.

It is not necessary to reserve a time slot for your edit. As soon as your document is ready to be proofread, you can upload it at any time via our website . Based on your chosen deadline, our editor(s) will then proofread your document within 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days.

If you are unsure about the availability of our services or are planning to upload a very large document (>13,000 words) with a 24 hour deadline, we recommend that you contact us beforehand via chat or email .

Scribbr is following the guidelines announced by the WHO (World Health Organization). As an online platform, all our services remain available, and we will continue to help students as usual.

Can I still place an order? Will my order be completed within the deadline? Yes, you can still place orders and orders will be delivered within the agreed upon deadline. Scribbr is an online platform – our proofreading & editing services are provided by editors working remotely from all over the world. This means Scribbr can guarantee that we will process your order with the same diligence and professionalism as always. The same holds true for our Plagiarism Checker .

Can I still contact customer support? Yes. Our support team is available from 09.00 to 23.00 CET and happy to answer any questions you might have!

Yes, if your document is longer than 20,000 words, you will get a sample of approximately 2,000 words. This sample edit gives you a first impression of the editor’s editing style and a chance to ask questions and give feedback.

How does the sample edit work?

You will receive the sample edit within 12 hours after placing your order. You then have 24 hours to let us know if you’re happy with the sample or if there’s something you would like the editor to do differently.

Read more about how the sample edit works

When you upload a large document (20,000+ words), we will ask your editor to send a sample edit of approximately 2,000 words as soon as possible. This sample edit gives you a first impression of your editor’s editing style and what you can expect from the service. You will receive it within 12 hours after uploading your order.

Why do we provide you with a sample edit?

We always aim to make you 100% happy, and Proofreading & Editing is a complex service. We want to make sure that our editing style meets your expectations before the editor improves your entire document.

Our editors are trained to follow Scribbr’s academic style . However, your preferences might deviate from our conventions. The sample edit gives you the chance to provide feedback – you can let us know if you’re happy with the sample or if there’s something you would like the editor to do differently.

Once your editor has completed your sample edit, you will receive a notification via email. You have 24 hours to reply to this email and provide us with feedback. If we receive your feedback in time, your editor will go the extra mile and adjust the edit according to your input.

What sort of feedback can you give?

Give us feedback that will help your editor meet your requirements. For example:

  • “I am completely happy. The editor can continue editing like this.”
  • “I forgot to mention that my school has the following rules for gendered pronouns.”
  • “The editor changed the spelling of a technical term, but my professor spells it differently. Please keep the original spelling of this term.”

The  Structure  and Clarity Check can only be purchased in conjunction with Proofreading & Editing . Providing feedback on structure and clarity requires extensive knowledge of the text, which the editor acquires while proofreading and editing your text.

However, our Paper Formatting Service,   Citation Editing Service and Plagiarism Checker can be purchased separately.

Yes, Scribbr will proofread the summary in another language as well.

Who will proofread my summary?

If your document contains a summary in a different language, we will send this part to another editor who is a native speaker of that language. The editor will check your summary, applying our standard Proofreading & Editing service.

If you ordered any additional services, such as the Structure Check or Clarity Check, the editor will not apply them to your summary. This is because the summary is a translation of your abstract – you already receive Structure and Clarity feedback on the text in the original language. Therefore, when proofreading your summary, the editor will focus on making sure your language and style is correct.

How does it work?

We will create a new assignment within your order and send you a confirmation email. This also means that you will receive a separate email/SMS notification from us when the editor has finished proofreading your summary. Once your summary is proofread, you can download it via your Scribbr account and read the editor’s feedback.

Yes, we can provide a certificate of proofreading.

As soon as the editor delivers the edit, you can email us at [email protected] to request a certificate.

Please indicate the following in your email:

  • Your order number
  • Your full name
  • The title of your work

We will create a PDF certificate and email it to you as soon as possible.

Scribbr specializes in editing study-related documents . We proofread:

  • PhD dissertations
  • Research proposals
  • Personal statements
  • Admission essays
  • Motivation letters
  • Reflection papers
  • Journal articles
  • Capstone projects

Yes, when you accept all changes and delete all comments your document is ready to be handed in.

How to accept all changes:

  • Word for Mac 2011

How to remove all comments:

When you’ve finished this, others will no longer be able to see the changes made by the editor.

  • Read your last version one last time to make sure everything is the way you want it.
  • Save your document as a .pdf file to come across more professional and to ensure the format of your document doesn’t change.

Yes, in the order process you can indicate your preference for American, British, or Australian English .

If you don’t choose one, your editor will follow the style of English you currently use. If your editor has any questions about this, we will contact you.

Yes, you can upload your thesis in sections.

We try our best to ensure that the same editor checks all the different sections of your thesis. When you upload a new file, our system recognizes you as a returning customer, and we immediately contact the editor who helped you before.

However, we cannot guarantee that the same editor will be available. Your chances are higher if

  • You send us your text as soon as possible and
  • You can be flexible about the deadline.

Please note that the shorter your deadline is, the bigger the risk that your previous editor is not available.

If your previous editor isn’t available, then we will inform you immediately and look for another qualified editor. Fear not! Every Scribbr editor follows the  Scribbr Improvement Model  and will deliver high-quality work.

However, every editor has a slightly different editing style, so you may notice small inconsistencies in editing choices. As with every proofreading order, be sure to carefully review your editor’s changes and suggestions as you finalize your text to ensure that everything is as you want it.

The fastest turnaround time is 12 hours.

You can upload your document at any time and choose between four deadlines:

At Scribbr, we promise to make every customer 100% happy with the service we offer. Our philosophy: Your complaint is always justified – no denial, no doubts.

Our customer support team is here to find the solution that helps you the most, whether that’s a free new edit or a refund for the service.

Every Scribbr order comes with our award-winning Proofreading & Editing service , which combines two important stages of the revision process.

For a more comprehensive edit, you can add a Structure Check or Clarity Check to your order. With these building blocks, you can customize the kind of feedback you receive.

You might be familiar with a different set of editing terms. To help you understand what you can expect at Scribbr, we created this table:

Types of editing Available at Scribbr?


This is the “proofreading” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with editing.


This is the “editing” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with proofreading.


Select the Structure Check and Clarity Check to receive a comprehensive edit equivalent to a line edit.


This kind of editing involves heavy rewriting and restructuring. Our editors cannot help with this.

View an example

Scribbr not only specializes in proofreading and editing texts in English , but also in several other languages . This way, we help out students from all over the world.

As a global academic writing proofreading service, we work with professional editors  – all native speakers – who edit in the following languages :

This way, you can also have your academic writing proofread and edited in your second language!

Please note that we do not offer Finnish proofreading, but students can still upload English papers on scribbr.fi .

Yes, regardless of the deadline you choose, our editors can proofread your document during weekends and holidays.

Example: If you select the 12-hour service on Saturday, you will receive your edited document back within 12 hours on Sunday.

The footnotes are not automatically included in the word count.

If you want the language errors in your footnotes to be corrected by the editor, you can indicate this in step 3 of the upload process . The words in the footnotes are then automatically added to the total word count.

Need help with your references?

  • If you use the APA reference style, you can use our free APA Citation Generator or the articles about APA in our Knowledge Base.
  • If you’d like us to check your references for consistency, you can use our Citation Editing Service .

To keep our prices competitive, we do not offer a free trial edit. However, if your document is longer than 30,000 words, we are happy to provide you with a sample edit of 2,000 words to ensure you are satisfied with the editor’s editing style.

Rest assured, our customers are very satisfied with our proofreading services. We’re proud that they have rated us with an excellent 4.6 on Trustpilot. In the unlikely event that you have a less positive experience, we’ll solve that with our 100% happiness guarantee !

After your thesis has been edited , you will receive an email with a link to download the edited document.

The editor has made changes to your document using ‘ Track Changes ’ in Word.  This means that you only have to accept or ignore the changes that are made in the text one by one.

It is also possible to accept all changes at once. However, we strongly advise you not to do so for the following reasons:

  • You can learn much by looking at what mistakes you have made.
  • The editors do not only change the text, they also place comments when sentences or sometimes even entire paragraphs are unclear. We therefore advise you to read through these comments and take into account your editor’s tips and suggestions.
  • Because of the many changes, sometimes there may be double spaces, double periods, or other minor mistakes in a sentence. Checking the changes one by one, you can easily detect these minor errors.

We have written a manual in which we explain step by step how ‘Track Changes’ works.

Check out an example

Our editors are very experienced and will do their utmost to correct all errors in your thesis .

However, with our current rates, an editor can only check your thesis once. This may cause an editor to overlook an error. We can therefore not guarantee that your thesis is 100% error free after you have had your thesis edited.

The editor uses ‘Track Changes’ in Word when editing your thesis.

Don’t know how this works? Then read the following guide  in which we explain step by step how ‘Track Changes’ works.

No, we do not provide you with a clean copy. You will always receive a file edited with tracked changes .

We do this for two main reasons:

  • In most papers, there are sentences that the editor cannot edit without additional information from the author. In these cases, your editor will provide guidance but leave you to implement the feedback. If we were to simply accept the changes for you, then these issues would be left unaddressed.
  • We believe students should be accountable for their work. Our editors can correct language errors and coach you to be a better writer. However, the end product belongs to you and should reflect your ideas and decisions.

All Scribbr editors are language experts with interests in different subject areas.

You can indicate your field of study when you upload your document . We’ll make sure that the editor who proofreads your work is familiar with your discipline and its specialist vocabulary.

These are the fields of study you can choose from, and examples of the main subjects in each field:

  • Business and Management: Business Administration, Hotel Management, Accountancy, Marketing
  • Economics: Business Economics, Econometrics, Finance
  • IT and Engineering: ICT, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Mathematics, Civil Engineering, Industrial Design, Electrical Engineering
  • Natural and Life Sciences: Biomedical Sciences, Biology, Chemistry
  • Geography, Agriculture and Environment: Ecology, Earth Sciences, Environmental Studies, Urban Planning
  • Health and Medical Sciences: Medicine, Obstetrics, Pharmacy, Nutrition, Dentistry
  • Arts and Humanities: Philosophy, History, Literature, Cultural Studies, Theology
  • Law and Policy: Law, Political Science, Public Policy, Human Rights
  • Social and Behavioral Sciences: Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Communication Sciences

Editors don’t have to be experts in the content of your paper, but they do know how to present it in the best way possible! Our goal is to improve your writing and give you feedback on the readability, structure, logic, and clarity of your text. We know from experience that the most effective editors are specialists in language and academic writing.

We’ve carefully selected and trained all of our editors to proofread theses and other academic documents. Once they’re qualified, we continue to carefully monitor their work to make sure we always deliver the highest quality .

Our experienced editors are available 24/7/365 to rigorously review and comprehensively improve your writing.

Microsoft Word’s Track Changes We use Word’s Track Changes feature to highlight our amendments. We have alternative options for other formats, including PDF and Overleaf/LaTeX .

Improved style and appropriate register

We improve your style, diction and tone to ensure that your document is written in the appropriate register.

I’ve changed “needn’t occur” to “is unnecessary” to enhance the formality of the text. In general, contractions (needn’t, can’t, won’t, etc.) should be avoided in academic writing. Dr Smith, PhD

Perfect clarity and structure

We’ll correct or query awkward phrasing and ambiguity to ensure that your writing is clearly expressed and easy to understand.

I would recommend being more specific here; do the physiological properties of FES systems create a challenging control problem or do they have to solve or address a challenging control problem? Dr Smith, PhD

Grammar, punctuation and readability

We fix errors related to grammar, punctuation and readability.

When a system, theory, model, or procedure is named after two or more entities, the nouns are conventionally joined using an en dash. The same rule applies whenever the elements of a compound are considered equivalent, so the phrases “parent–child relationship”, “cost–benefit analysis”, etc., use an en dash rather than a hyphen. Dr Smith, PhD

General feedback and advice

We provide feedback and advice on the composition of the writing, both within the document and in the Editor’s Summary Report (for documents over 3,000 words).

To make sure an abbreviation is consistently applied throughout the document, a useful tip is to search for the term using Control F (Command F on a Mac). Dr Smith, PhD

Humanizing AI text

We enhance the readability of your text by focusing on the subtle cues that make your writing feel genuinely human.

LLMs are often wordy and overly formal. I’ve toned down both of those elements to help this email sound more natural. Dr Smith, PhD

What happy customers say about us

4.6/5 (2,346 reviews).

Very trustworthy and extremely efficient

I had an academic document proofread by the papertrue team. They not only corrected numerous grammar and spelling issues, they also advised on certain expressions according to my target audience. And the best, they did so over night... extremely fast, extremely good, and trustworthy service. Will be coming here again for the next publication.

More than I had hoped for!

Did two jobs with PaperTrue and I'm highly satisfied. In one of the jobs I had some questions regarding their proposed changes and they immediately dug into it and explained why they had chosen certain expressions instead of others and what the differences were. That's really more than I had hoped for! And their chat-people are very alert - and good fun, too!

Papertrue! True! True! True!

My experience with papertrue.com was great. I came across their site from the high ratings. And the high ratings proved to be true. Once I got onto their site, I was immediately helped by a papertrue.com Rep, a live person, who helped answer my questions and walked me through the process. That was a big plus! And as a first timer, I got a discount or free edit. That was another plus! And the transaction was quick and easy. The turnaround time was also fast, delivery was on schedule and on time as specified. Another plus! My editor was also great and very helpful with comments, notes and suggestions. And when my document was completed and I had to ask a question to my editor, the Customer Service Rep was quick to respond. They escalated the matter so that my question would reach my editor and my editor would give me a reply directly and quickly. And my editor did just that. That was a major plus! Overall, thumbs up on great Customer Service and Editorial service. I would recommend them and look forward to working with them again. Thank you papertrue.com!

Even my tutor can not find these errors

Thank you for editing my document on time. The editor pointed my attention to my commonly made mistakes; missing words, incorrect spelling and grammatical inconsistencies throughout the document. I was happy to receive both a tracked and a clean version of the edited document. I will happily recommend PaperTrue to my friends, and I will myself come back on a later occasion.

Excellent Service, Highly Recommended

I have used PaperTrue for several editing projects for my website. They have edited small and large projects for me. PaperTrue offers great pricing with no hidden fees, they always deliver on time and I love the fact that they provide a clean version and a corrected version showing the recommend changes. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking for quality editing services. They have great communications, project completion dates are given when ordered and they have consistently met the deadline. I am extremely satisfied and I will remain a loyal customer.

Great service, great company!

We are a Spanish advertising agency that work for international companies. Usually we need our copies to be reviewed. We trust Papertrue for doing this, they are always super-professional and always deliver the documents on time. I recommend them 100%

Improvement in structure, language and formatting

My cover letter was corrected very professionally, with very detailed comments and explanation. Smaller issues like my unclear description were changed shortly in a revision version, with a very smooth communication. I have learned also from the formating. For further CVs I will still consider their service, because the cover letter has to be formulated for specific job description. I don't do massive job application.

Quick 24 hour turnaround

Paper True was quick and effective. I needed a 24 hr turnaround and they provided me edits to my resume that became the talk of the town among my team. Everyone loved how thorough the edits were. Thank you Paper True for helping me so quickly and effectively.

Aaron is the best editor!

I live in Zürich and needed to have my cooking book "The Food Is Ready" , edited in english before I publish it. So I decided to sent the manuscript to Paper True and I can only tell that I was really impress when I saw the work they did. Aaron my Editor has correct the language and grammar errors. He has done a terrific work improving phrasing and consistency of my book. If you are looking for a serious company I can really recommend Paper True. And "they are allways there available if you have any questions"

An amazing job!

As a sixteen years old Danish girl I must admit finding the right editor was hard, but I found THE one ;) Amazing service and a welcoming chat on the website! I love the detailed comments and feedback on the tracked document :) They really did a good job at making my debut novel a lot better while still keeping my style of writing! Much love from Denmark <3

Are Proofreading Services Legit?

Are Proofreading Services Legit?

7-minute read

  • 13th February 2023

If you’re looking for proofreading services online, you’ll find an overwhelming number of options, including reputable companies, independent editors, and total scams. In this article, you’ll learn what proofreading services entail and how to find reputable and reliable ones. Keep reading to find out more.

What Is a Proofreading Service?

Proofreading services check written work for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting errors. It’s the last step in the writing process, so the goal is to give a final polish to ensure clear, concise, and error-free writing.

Proofreading services don’t include content, organizational, or structural edits, so make sure that your work is ready for proofreading and doesn’t need editing or revising . If you submit a piece of writing that requires more work than the standard proofreading services, the editor or company will let you know. Keep in mind that editing services will be an additional cost.

Benefits of Using a Professional Proofreading Service

While proofreading your own work or having a friend look at it is cost-effective, professional proofreading services ensure that your work is high quality and error-free. You also get tailored comments with suggestions for improvement or when specific areas lack clarity.

Benefits for Authors

If you’re an author looking to publish a book or short story, professional proofreading services are imperative. Missing commas, awkward dialogue, and lackluster descriptions will reduce your chances of getting published. And if you self-publish without having used professional proofreading services, your readers could leave bad reviews about the quality of your language, which would hurt future sales. Hiring a professional might be costly, but nothing can replace their experience and expertise within your genre. Click here to read more about Proofed’s author proofreading services .

Benefits for Students and Academics

For students writing theses and researchers hoping to get published in top journals, professional proofreading services are important and sometimes even required by universities or journals. Your chosen journal may have specific guidelines and formatting requirements that can be overwhelming to meet without help.

Do you know how to work with a specific referencing system or properly format charts, graphs, and tables? Do you know how to use abbreviations in text or write a killer abstract ? If these requirements are not met, your thesis or paper is likely to be rejected. Professional proofreading services make sure that your work is of the highest quality to give you the best chance of being accepted. Learn more about Proofed’s student proofreading services here.

Benefits for Professionals

Whether you’re applying for a new job or writing content for a company’s blog, professional and high-quality writing can make all the difference in getting hired or increasing your brand awareness. It goes without saying that companies and consumers expect high-quality writing – it’s the standard. Professional proofreading services can help you take your business to the next level or land that job you’ve been aiming for. Click here to find out more about Proofed for professionals . Or if you’re looking for proofreading on a larger scale, check out our business page .

How To Find Legit Proofreading Services

Not all proofreading services are created equal, so it’s important to find one that’s reputable and trustworthy. Here are a few things to look for when searching for a legit proofreading service.

Reputation, Reviews, and Testimonials

Any decent proofreader or proofreading service will have clients who have left positive reviews. Always check for reviews on websites such as Trustpilot , and if there aren’t many or mostly bad reviews, find another company or proofreader.

Most independent proofreaders and proofreading companies will have a section on their website dedicated to testimonials from previous clients and companies they’ve worked with. If you can’t see any, be sure to ask for them. If they can’t provide any, run!

Find Qualified, Experienced Proofreaders

If you write mystery novels, you’ll want to find a proofreader with experience in your genre. If you’re writing an academic paper for publication in a top journal, you’ll want a proofreader who is familiar with the journal publication process. Find a proofreading service that is suitable for your piece of writing and has relevant experience.

Additional information to look for includes tertiary education, certifications, and membership in a professional editor association . Most proofreading services or independent editors should already have these details on their websites.

Check Their Website

All proofreaders and proofreading services should have a professional website. If you see a single error in the text of their website or strange wording, don’t use their services. If you suspect that the website is fake or has been stolen from a legitimate proofreading company or independent editor (fake social media pages are also common), check LinkedIn and cross-check the contact information.

Unfortunately, there are lots of scams in the editing, proofreading, and publishing world. But the quality of a website or contact information that doesn’t match with Google search results are both great ways to spot scams. When in doubt, just go with someone else.

Overall, a professional proofreading service should have a high-quality, easy-to-read, and easy-to-navigate website where you can contact customer support and see pricing, testimonials, and their credentials.

Look for a Range of Services

While it’s important to keep in mind that proofreading services are separate from editing and revising, check whether they offer other services. For example, if you’re looking to publish a novel, you will most likely need developmental, line, and copy editing before you get to proofreading (remember, proofreading is the last step in the writing process). Most editors in the publishing industry will offer all these services as they’re all required for book publishing.

If you’re a business, you might look for a company or independent proofreader who also offers copy editing and copywriting services. These services are related to the industry and the type of copy you need proofread, and most professionals will offer more than one service as a result.

Pricing Options and Free Trials

Reputable companies offering proofreading services should have their pricing clearly stated on their website. If you’re considering working for an independent editor or need long-term proofreading services, a contract would be helpful.

Most proofreaders and companies will offer a free trial so you can get an idea of what their services will look like. This trial could be a word limit (up to 1,000 words, for example) or the first chapter of a book.

Proofreading services can be a valuable tool for any writer, whether you’re looking for proofreading for an essay, novel, or business document or just need someone to give your work a final polish. However, not all proofreading services are created equal, so it’s important to find a reputable and trustworthy company. Make sure you consider all relevant factors when choosing a service:

●  Reputation, reviews, and testimonials that are available to the public

●  Qualified and experienced proofreaders for the type of writing you need services for

●  A high-quality and professional website that is easy to navigate and error-free

●  A range of services targeted for your writing needs

●  Clear pricing and a free trial

How do proofreading services compare to using grammar-checker software?

While grammar-checking software is great to use for your everyday writing, it can only go so far. Professional proofreading services are tailored to your specific writing needs, offer suggestions and feedback, and guarantee that your writing is polished and professional.

Are there any free proofreading services available?

Yes. Most proofreading companies should offer a free proofreading sample so you can get a feel for their work and whether it would be a good fit. Proofed offers a free trial for first-time customers of up to 500 words.

Can proofreading services also edit my document for content and structure?

No. Content, structure, and organization are addressed in editing. If you request proofreading services when you actually need editing services, the service will let you know. Keep in mind that editing services are an additional charge.

Proofreading Services Review: Is it Legit and Should you Work for Them?

Proofreading Services Review is it legit

Are you an online freelance proofreader looking for a reputable proofreading company to work with? If that’s so, then you might want to check out ProofreadingServices.com .

This website is dedicated to helping freelance proofreaders find reputable proofreading services that will meet their needs.

In this short Proofreading Services review, I take you through the nitty-gritty details to help you decide if this is the company you want to work for.

What is proofreading?

Proofreading is the process of reviewing a document for errors and making corrections, often with the help of proofreading software.

As a freelance proofreader , your job involves checking for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, as well as typos. You also need to look for inconsistencies in style and formatting.

Proofreading is an important step in the editing process, as it ensures that the final document is error-free and polished. It is especially important for academic papers, business documents, and other formal writing.

You need to be cautious not to confuse proofreading with editing. While they are sometimes used interchangeably, editing involves more changes to sentence structure and word choice to offer content clarity and flow, as opposed to proofreading, which covers grammar and punctuation errors only.

What is Proofreading Services?

Proofreading Services Review is it legit

Proofreading Services is one of the leading online proofreading sites, offering content proofreading and editing services to businesses and academics worldwide. 

The company was started in 2011 by Luke Palder, a non-fiction author who happens to be a Yale and Cambridge university alumnus. 

The company is based in San Francisco, but offers its services to businesses worldwide, and employs expert freelancers from all over the world.

The jobs are 100% remote, so you will be able to work from anywhere.

Is Proofreading Services legit?

Yes, Proofreading Services is a legitimate company that pays freelance proofreaders. It has a wide range of clients from around the globe, mostly individuals and institutions in the field of academia, authors, government institutions, and news firms. 

Some of these highly reputable clients, such as the US Department of Energy, offer glowing reviews and if their website is anything to go on, their pay rates are more than fair. 

Proofreading Services requirements

Proofreading Services will require you to pass their 20-minute proofreading test with a score of 95% or higher.  

This may sound simple enough, but only 0.33% of candidates pass their proofreading test. This means, out of 300 applicants, statistically, only one will pass. You can still redo the test if you fail.

If you are new to the proofreading industry, you may need some training to be an exceptional proofreader. This training will help familiarize you with industry standards.

Like most other proofreading companies out there, this company requires native English speakers only, preferably from the US or the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Australia. 

That said, you may still get hired even if you aren’t from these countries if you have proofreading experience.

You must also have exceptional written and spoken English skills and a keen eye for details to spot mistakes. 

How to apply for a position at Proofreading Services

To apply as a proofreader, head over to their career page . Here, there are two options:

  • online proofreading jobs
  • Ghostwriting books for celebrities

Select the online proofreading jobs option. Alternatively, you can go to this page directly here.

On this page, click on the “Apply to be an Online Proofreader” button. This will direct you to the 20-minute quiz we mentioned above. This is a timed test and you need to finish before the timer runs out.

Proofreading Services Review Application

This test focuses on your grasp of the English language. It will test your grammar and you need to be as extremely accurate to pass.

After this, there is a section for you to talk about your previous experiences as a freelancer. Here, you can mention all your other businesses, either as a transcriber, copywriter, translator, or even an online tutor. This segment is crucial, since the hiring team may feel that you aren’t a good fit as a proofreader, but they can still hire you for their other services based on your previous experiences.  

If for any reason, you fail to meet the requirements of the company’s test, this section on your previous job experience can help you land a job as a translator, transcriber, or ghostwriter.

After you pass this test, the recruiting team will reach out to you for more job guidelines and more paid work will be available to you.

How Proofreading Services works

After you pass their initial test, you will need to create a Proofreading Services account. Here, Proofreading Services will have its onboarding team guide you on the platform’s key procedures.

You will be assigned paid jobs from here, which will earn you more based on the jobs’ urgency and turnaround time. 

How much does Proofreading Services pay?

Proofreading Services has a highly competitive pay among proofreading companies, ranging between $19 and $46 per hour. Your earnings will depend on how fast you deliver on assigned work. Urgent tasks will earn you more, while less urgent work will pay less.

The company allows you to have full control of your working hours, and you can choose to work full-time or part-time, or even both, based on your schedule. 

All things considered, this company pays better than what the average proofreader makes, which is around $25 an hour.

Working at Proofreadingservices.com: Pros and Cons

 Here are some upsides and disadvantages of working with Proofreading Services.

  • High pay – Proofreading Services offers you a comparatively competitive pay of up to $46 per hour, with their lowest freelancers earning $19 per hour. This can be rated against the average $25 earned by most proofreaders. 
  • Flexible working hours – You can choose your own working hours without infringing on your outside life. You can choose to work part-time or full-time depending on your flexibility.
  • No IP sensitivity – Most online working sites are IP sensitive and block workers from some parts of the world. Proofreadingservices.com allows you to work from anywhere around the world as long as you can deliver quality results.
  • Low success rate on their entry test – The Company’s timed entry quiz is difficult to pass, with a statistical chance of .33% of being accepted. 
  • Native English speakers only – Proofreading Services only accepts native English speakers from the Us, UK, Canada, Ireland, and Australia. 

Proofreading Services review:  our verdict

Proofreading Services is a legit company with clients from around the globe and hires exceptional proofreaders. 

The company has a short but tough hiring process and it would be wise for you to seek some sort of training before starting your application process.

An opinion of a steady customer

I've used the PRS at least a dozen times. Never have had any negative experiences. While in some cases, the proofread text is "just" quite good, there are also cases when a proofreader is extremely helpful due to his thoughtful comments and general commitment. Taking into account affordable prices, I can only highly recommend.

Date of experience : May 17, 2024

I like their work

I like their work, aside from language correction, they give you advice on keeping things consistent, neat and orgenized. Sadly there were moments when the editor pointed things that were incorrect but gave no suggestion. It could be because of the load of work on the editor caused them to skip some parts. Overall I recommend them and will most likely deal with them again

If you’re interested in pursuing a career in proofreading, you can gain experience by seeking proofreading internships at newspapers, magazines, websites, advertising agencies, public relations firms,

Proofreading means carefully checking for errors in a text before it is published or shared. It is the very last stage of the writing process, when you fix minor spelling and punctuation mistakes, typos, formatting issues and inconsistencies. Proofreading is essential for any text that will be shared with an audience, whether it’s an academic paper, a job application, an online article, or a print flyer. Depending on your skills and budget, you can choose to proofread the text yourself or to hire a professional.

My dissertation proofreader did an excellent job

My PRS proofreader did an excellent job correcting my master's dissertation. He gave me many suggestions that helped strengthen my writing and gave me more confidence submitting my dissertation. I am more than pleased with the results and would use them again!

Proofreader made a mistake that cost me time

The proof reader made a mistake and deleted all the Mendeley format that required me to reinterpret all the citations that took time. It was nice that the company gave me a voucher but the initial response was a bit lethargic and I had to push the issue. I hope the company will learn from this experience. That said I have good experiences in the past and will give the company a chance again.

Application Is a Scam!

i attempted to apply for job, signed up for free account, then asked to enter card number to verify identity. since it has such good reviews (i suspect they are paid for) i trusted it. i was immediately charged $2.99 and 39.99 with no fine print seen (i took screenshots just in case) and received fraud alert from bank because the site is considered suspicious. luckily i didn't have $40 in the account because i never use my real account i use a prepaid card one. but this is a scam do not click apply or get started.

comparing with the last service

The last time I used your services, after my corrections, the proofreader checked the entire article again. This time, I was able to request some sentences only after my corrections.

I'm an early career researcher

I'm an early career researcher, and I often ommit the small details due my lack of experience. However, after being introduced to this service, I submitted a conference paper and won the best paper of the conference. I have learned not underestimate this service as the team involved in the proofreading are thorough and dudiligant in what they do. Will definitely send all my future publications to this service before any manuscript submission. Thank you guys 😊

I had to correct an error (grammar)…

I had to correct an error (grammar) after the review. FANCELLU_13052022 (ref. no. 202205-13184024) In the tracked-version I received from PRS.com there was the following sentence : "As a consequence, significant delays in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant and pre-malignant lesions has occurred, with possible effects on..." I had to correct 'has' with 'have' In addition: ALESSANDRO_FANCELLU_20032022 upgrade to super express (ref. no. 202203-20152242-2) I payed to upgrade to the super express service, but I did not receive the proofs in the scheduled time. Your sincerely. Prof. A. Fancellu

The review was don very timely

The review was don very timely, and the result was excellent. We got the paper accepted, so I guess, aside of our science, the English editing service was perfect.
