I gave my dissertation to Scribbr for it to undergo a 'clarity check' and it to be 'proofread & edited'. My editor was Aimee. She did a decent job with proofreading and editing and I learnt a lot from her feedback regarding this. Also, she completed her work within the deadline which I appreciate as this was a stressful time for me. The fact that she met the deadline gave me a lot of relief as I knew I would be able to submit my work in time. However, I was not happy that my assigned editor did not have a scientific background as I thought Scribbr would assign an appropriate editor as I am studying Pharmaceutical Science and Aimee had a PhD in literature and philosophy. Thus the clarity check was not as good as I expected since the basic theory of my work was not understood. As I expressed my dissatisfaction on the Scribbr website regarding this, I immediately received a phone call within 4 min. I spoke to Chris (Scribbr Team) on the phone and they took my feedback seriously and explained to me that an editor with a scientific background was not available at that moment in time and to meet my deadline and Aimee was given the difficult task of providing clarity to my work. On the phone we then came to fair solution to resolve this issue. They promised me an appropriate refund for their service. I believe this was fair. All in all, I would recommend Scribbr for future students. As they treated me professionally. They are quick with their response. In order to be so quick and efficient they clearly must have an organised system in place. They are also fair when student are not satisfied with the feedback. In the foreseeable future, I can see myself using Scribbr for my personal statement and my master degree as they have earnt my respect. I would like to thank Aimee and Chris from the Scribbr team for their help. Thank You.
Read review on TrustPilotThe editor red through the paper carefully and gave some valuable inputs. Furthermore the editor was super efficient and I got the paper much faster than expected. Really can recommend this service. 👍🏼
Read review on TrustPilotMy editor did a good job on language but if you are looking for someone to approve your thesis, you need to communicate better with your supervisor. I was super excited because my editor suggested a lot of changes, but he was not an expert in the field I was writing. He JUST knew about grammar and sentence structure. My supervisor rejected my thesis draft anyway. So don't expect any miracles and communicate primarily with your supervisor, Scribbr will just help you make your sentences grammatically correct. I asked Scribbr to help me with the suggestions my supervisor made but they said that wasn't a part of their service.

Read review on TrustPilotKaitlyn on the chat feature stayed with me for an entire hour when I was unable to upload my paper as the screen froze. She uploaded for me and completed each step. She went above and beyond, give the girl a raise!!
Read review on TrustPilotI consider myself a good writer. When I sent my dissertation to Scribbr, I hoped I would get something back that was worth the investment. My editor Ben was incredible. He went above and beyond anything I expected. I was concerned that my editor would not understand my topic well and therefore would only make surface-level editing or revising suggestions. I felt like Ben not only understood good writing, he also seemed to understand my topic. He not only made many editing suggestions - following APA 7 AND my university's dissertation guide - but he also suggested ways to make my writing sound more professional. He found places in my paper where I needed to add transition paragraphs or reword sentences to make them clearer. I would highly recommend Scribbr to anyone needing professional editing services!
Read review on TrustPilotI was very happy with the work done by the editors! I handed in my Bachelor´s thesis in different parts and although different editors worked on the different parts, they turned out cohesive. Moreover, the editors added useful feedback and links regarding the mistakes make and how to prevent them in the future. Thanks a lot for your help!

Read review on TrustPilotThe editors for my lit review and APA referencing helped me a lot! The critical feedback in writing and suggestions helped a lot in my writing and I was able to narrow down themes and questions for my thesis proposal! I was able to then pass and get accepted into the thesis programme. Thank you Scribbr! Worth the money and would definitely use again for my final thesis :)
