Read review on TrustpilotHo utilizzato questo servizio per fare rivedere la mia tesi in inglese (per ora solo primo capitolo) e il mio editor è stato molto bravo. Inoltre il lavoro mi è stato riconsegnato in sole 24 ore nonostante avessi scelto la consegna entro 1 settimana.
Read review on TrustpilotIch habe die Korrekturen, die Sabrina vorgenommen hat, als sehr hilfreich empfunden. Ihre Änderungen waren klar und verständlich formuliert. Dank ihrer detaillierten Anmerkungen und des konstruktiven Feedbacks war ich in der Lage, meine Arbeit rechtzeitig fertigzustellen. Zudem schätzte ich die schnelle Rückgabe meiner Arbeit, was den Prozess sehr effizient gestaltete.
Read review on TrustpilotI thought the corrections were really helpful and I appreciate that she took the time to go through it and give nice comments. It also came back earlier than I had thought and that was very effective. I'd recommend it. Thank you very much :)
Read review on TrustpilotI recently sent out a sample of a manuscript to five different proofing organisations. Scribbr was not the best, but also not the worst. Their efforts were good, with few misunderstandings, but two other services were above expectation, leaving Scribbr in third place. I would say the service is adequate for many and great if you don't want to spend time reviewing many changes. For me, I preferred the eager and deeper edits of the other services, even if they had a few mistakes and misinterpretations I had to undo.
Read review on TrustpilotI requested a 7 day turn around of my 111 page dissertation. The Scribbr editors provided professional edits, comments, and recommendations to assist me in drafting the final version of my paper. The Scribbr team gain my trust and made this daunting process quite seamless. I would highly recommend Scribbr to anyone in need of the many services Scribbr provide. Thank you Deb and Emma for your patience with my review. I am 100% satisfied. Thank you, Paula Russo

Read review on TrustpilotWithin 12 hours of submitting a 50,000 word document, I was paired with an editor who showcased his talents in a 2,000 word editorial preview. The attention to detail was impressive and exactly what I needed to polish off my work. The final edit was returned promptly with great feedback throughout.

Read review on TrustpilotDie Korrekturen waren sehr gut. Ich habe bei meiner Bestellung die falsche Zitierweise gewählt. So wurden sämtliche Quellenangaben korrigiert, wobei ich gemäss Richtlinien meiner Fachhochschule korrekte Quellenangaben angebracht habe. Mit einer kurzen Rückfrage hätten beide Parteien einige Zeit gespart.
