Read review on TrustpilotReply from Scribbr 17 hours ago Hi Jaspar, Thank you for your 5 star review! We would love to hear some more about your order and experience with us, which is why we reached out to you. :) We are looking forward to hearing from you! Kind regards, Stijn & the Scribbr team
Read review on TrustpilotI can't be happier with the service I received from the Scribbr customer service team and the editor assigned to my manuscript. The revision was thorough, professional and right on time, and the customer service guys kept me updated throughout the process. I hope my publisher is as satisfied with the language quality of my MS as I am!
Read review on TrustpilotJaspar loved it because shrek loved it, so it must be good:)
Read review on Trustpilotgorgeus,papa shrek would be very happy
Read review on Trustpilotvery helpful. I have happy with every editor except one guy there did not do his job so far. The feedback and correction I received is very professional.
Read review on TrustpilotMy experience with Scribbr was outstanding. All of the editors provided helpful information and were very professional. Finally, the finished product was promised on 11/21, and I received a day early. I would recommend Scribbr for any editing projects.
Read review on TrustpilotI am very pleased with the service. I sincerely recommend it.
Read review on TrustpilotI had the pleasure to use the editing and proofreading services twice, as I've handed in two chapters with a delay since I hadn't finished writing them. Both correctors did a tremendous job. The quality was consistent, with the second corrector considering the style that was used for the first batch. I strongly recommend the proofreading service of Scribbr, as it really does improve the reading experience of your paper noticeably. I have also used their check for plagiarism and found it helpful, as it highlights the found overlaps with other papers visibly and makes it easy for you to decide whether it is worth rewriting a sentence or not. All in all a great experience and a strong recommendation from my side!
Read review on TrustpilotEditing and suggestions from the Editor
Read review on TrustpilotThere was a lot of effort made by Scribbr's editor to my document. I appreciate suggestions on what to add to my writing because I had thought about it, but I didn't do to the document. The comments help the sentences flow better and make them easier to understand. I felt more confident with my document after accepting most of the comments from the editor that there was more value added to it. The editor has experience in writing that can understand my writing and make comments accordingly. The team also put effort into reaching out to me by phone to ask how I feel about the service, which I highly appreciate. The service could, however, be improved in some areas. I initially paid with a tight deadline of 1 day that the Scribbr team could not finish on time. They refunded me, but I made another order to extend the deadline to 1 week, and they were able to make it on time. They said they could not open the document because it was locked. However, it was okay on my end, and the document was shown on the website, so I was unsure what was happening. In addition, I requested a change with additional files on my order, but the change did not show on my side of the website. I understood that they might attach the change to their internal system somehow, but I was also concerned about the possibility that they ignored my request. I hope they can improve something about this that would have made my experience better. However, these downsides are not significant to me, that I might consider working with the Scribbr team again in the future.

| Types of editing | Available at Scribbr? |
|---|---|
| Proofreading Correction of superficial mistakes, such as typos, misspellings, punctuation errors and consistency errors. |
Yes! This is the “proofreading” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with editing. |
| Copy editing Focus on grammar, syntax, style, tone and the conventions of the field. The editor also considers the internal logic of the text and flags any obvious contradictions. |
Yes! This is the “editing” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with proofreading. |
| Line editing Focus on language, style, concision and choices. The editor helps you strengthen your story, polish your sentences and ensure that your use of language drives home your ideas. |
Yes! Select the Structure Check and Clarity Check to receive a comprehensive edit equivalent to a line edit. |
| Developmental editing (i.e. content editing, substantive editing) This is the first step of the editing process and applies to very early drafts. The editor helps you structure your ideas, decide what story to tell and find direction for your writing. |
No. This kind of editing involves heavy rewriting and restructuring. Our editors cannot help with this. |
