Easy, fast and elegant too

A really great experience with Scribbr - I needed to get a second proofreader to finish proofing my PhD thesis due to the illness of my initial editor. I was a bit nervous about sending off only two disconnected sections of the document, but the system allowed me to a) choose what pages to submit (so I actually hadn't needed to prep a special partial document), and b) give some context to the editor. It was all very clear. Neshika did a fantastic job, and even delivered a little early on a rush-job deadline. Her comments were professional but human, with a clear sense of her personality coming through and she explained the principles behind changes very clearly. Her edits not only improved clarity, but were elegantly worded too. Worth every penny. Thank you!

Trusted

Trusted. This is my 7th manuscript submission to Scribbr and they helped me a lot in improving the quality of my English. The editor also provides several tips that need to be considered in order to clarify sentences. Happy working with scribbr.

Thanks to the editor

Alexandra edited my sloppy text with great attention. She propose how to clarify a lot of vague places. She made me valuable notes to think about sense and language of my text. Her help significantly improved my text, not only in terms of language, but also in its sence, so I thank her very much.

A Surprisingly Personalized Touch: Beyond Expectations with Doug

I was nervous about utilizing an online service because I assumed the edits would be stiff and not aligned with my tone and writing style. However, the edits were insightful and very much aligned with my style. I would recommend this service to everyone! My editor, Doug, was exceptional AND I received it 3 days early! Thank you!

This employee deserves a raise!!!

An essay for a scholarship I am applying for got flagged as 100% AI generated, after I had spent hours perfecting it. I had to use the help option, and the employee that helped me was great. Their name on the website was Willemijn, and they helped me all the way through, and explained that AI detectors, even those used by prestigious universities, are not 100% reliable. I was able to get the number down to 65%. I thank the employee, who I don't think realized how young I am, being that I am only 16. They were very understanding and polite, and they deserve to be rewarded somehow. Thank you, Willemijn, from a stressed out high school girl.

Korrektur der Bachelorarbeit

Für die Korrektur meiner Bachelorarbeit hat mich das Team von Scribbr unterstützt. Mit der Korrektur, die ich schnell zurückbekommen habe war ich am Ende nicht zu 100 % zufrieden. Für eine professionelle Korrektur haben sich einige Fehler eingeschlichen, die mir bei der Nachbearbeitung nochmal Zeit gekostet haben. Daraufhin habe ich mit dem Support Kontakt aufgenommen und schnell/unkompliziert eine Rückmeldung erhalten. Mit der Lösung 50 % des Geldes zurückzubekommen, war ich einverstanden und kaum ein Tag später war das Geld schon auf meinem Konto. Also Kundensupport wird hier groß geschrieben! In Summe würde ich Scribbr weiterempfehlen, da die Korrektur durchaus viele hilfreiche Tipps und Hinweise geliefert hat, die mir selbst oder ohne einen professionellen Korrekturservice wahrscheinlich nicht aufgefallen wären.

Frequently asked questions

See all
Can I get a sample edit?

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 24 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.

What is Scribbr’s 100% happiness guarantee?

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.

Can I choose between American, British and Australian English?

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.

Can I upload my document in sections?

Yes, you can upload your document in sections.

We try our best to ensure that the same editor checks all the different sections of your document. 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

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

Please note that the shorter your deadline is, the lower the chance 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.

Can I have my document edited during weekends and holidays?

Yes, our editors also work during the weekends and holidays.

Because we have many editors available, we can check your document 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, all year round.

If you choose a 72 hour deadline and upload your document on a Thursday evening, you’ll have your thesis back by Sunday evening!

Is the editor an expert in my field of study?

When you place an order, you can specify your field of study and we’ll match you with an editor who has familiarity with this area.

However, our editors are language specialists, not academic experts in your field. Your editor’s job is not to comment on the content of your dissertation, but to improve your language and help you express your ideas as clearly and fluently as possible.

This means that your editor will understand your text well enough to give feedback on its clarity, logic and structure, but not on the accuracy or originality of its content.

Good academic writing should be understandable to a non-expert reader, and we believe that academic editing is a discipline in itself. The research, ideas and arguments are all yours – we’re here to make sure they shine!
