Scribbr's Exceptional Proofreading and Editing Services - Highly Recommended!

I highly recommend Scribbr's proofreading and editing services. My editor Marissa's attention to detail was exceptional. Her revisions not only improved the quality of my document, but also taught me a lot of English writing, which exceeded all of my expectations every time. The Scribbr team communicated clearly and promptly throughout the process. Scribbr truly cared about helping me produce the best possible work.

The annotations were excellent.

The annotations were excellent, especially in terms of text cohesion and links between paragraphs. Not to mention the quality of the language review and the response time, which was much higher than average. I just have to thank and highlight the excellence of the quality.

What types of editing does Scribbr offer?

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?
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.
