Maintain your objectivity

It is important for another set of eyes to look at your important work in order to maintain objectivity and ensure positive outcomes. Your friends may spare your feelings, and your professor may not have the time. Do yourself a solid and pay a professional to provide you with the services you need and the peace of mind you require. I could not be happier with Kate at Scribbr. She did an impeccable job with my work. My masters project was accepted and approved by my school in 4 days, rather than the average 14 days.

Excellent :)

Excellent :) Scribbr really gets my work done. I wrote in a personal note on how I wanted my statements to be engaging and strong, and the editors really did a great job of tailoring my statement. I subscribed to another app that corrects grammar and they also provide human proofreading service, but I was so disappointed about it; it costs less than Scribbr, but they almost didn't correct anything. The money should be well spent anyway, and I would definitely recommend Scribbr.

Amazing customer service, but mistakes happen

I had a really nice experience working with Scribbr to help with proofreading and editing my Extended Essay (it helped especially because I am not a native speaker). Really promptly after I submitted my order, customer service called me (as well as e-mailed) to clarify questions regarding the essay and to make sure I don't have the wrong expectations (eg. they cannot cut words). The lady I was speaking to was very friendly. Every e-mail I sent was answered quickly. The only problem was that, on the day of the deadline (it was supposed to be three days ending on Wednesday 5pm) I get an e-mail saying that the editor had Hardware problems and that my edited document cannot be accessed anymore. They said they could try and find an alternative editor, who would be able to send it the same day by 11pm. They also offered instead to refund me the amount I paid for the proofreading. In the end it was compromised that they would find me an alternative editor and would refund me 20% of what I paid to make up for my troubles (as I was pressed for time). I actually received the document before the newly agreed to deadline (at 6 instead of 11pm). The edits seem very competent and are explained clearly. Huge thanks to Richard for editing it so extensively in such a short amount of time. I would rather give a "Very Good" instead of just good, but excellent doesn't really apply as it did give me some inconvenience and stress. Overall I must say I have never before encountered a more friendly, dedicated and helpful customer service/staff than I have here with Scribbr. It was a real pleasure, despite everything, and I would therefore recommend Scribbr if you need help with essays or any other documents.

This is my second time using Scribbr…

This is my second time using Scribbr for my academic papers. Again I am impressed by the value I received and the amount of care that Lora, the editor, took in improving on my language and commenting on the logic of my argument. I will certainly continue to use Scribber as I complete my thesis.

doctoral edits

While editing my proposal for my doctoral study, I was at a roadblock in terms of my editing skills. I needed a proofreader/grammar edit in the worst way. Scribbr paired me with a wonderful, thorough editor and I was able to submit my proposal to my chair for review with better confidence than I have in the past. I will surely return! Thank you!!!

Dissertation review

Dissertation review: very constructive I asked for proof reading and clarity feedback on my dissertation. It was reviewed by two editors and they not only improved my paper but also provided constructive feedback. They explained their changes so I would learn in the future and asked good questions. I really appreciated the work and will be sending it back again before submitting the final version for my defense. Thank you!

What is the Clarity Check?

The Clarity Check is an additional service that you can purchase when you have your thesis proofread and edited by Scribbr.

If you select the Clarity Check, then your editor will provide you with useful feedback to help you improve your reasoning and ensure that what you’ve written is comprehensive and clear.

The editor will provide this feedback using two checklists and in-text comments. Our editors never implement this feedback directly, as it often concerns your ideas and argumentation.

Note that our editors can only consider the internal logic and clarity of your text. They are not subject matter experts and can therefore not check your facts or tell you the content is correct.

Read more about the Clarity Check

Can I upload my thesis in sections?

Yes, you can upload your thesis in sections.

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

However, every editor has a slightly different editing style, so you may notice small inconsistencies in editing choices. As with every proofreading order, be sure to carefully review your editor’s changes and suggestions as you finalize your text to ensure that everything is as you want it.

What if I am not happy with the edit?

Editing papers is still the work of people. And we, too, can make mistakes. If you’re not 100% happy with the edit, please let us know so we can find the solution that’s best for you, whether that’s a new edit or a refund.

Read more about our 100% happiness guarantee.

How long does it take to have my document checked?

You can choose between three set time periods. The editor can edit your paper within 24 hours, 72 hours or 1 week. The deadline is set as soon as you have paid.

Do you need to hand in your paper in four days? Please choose either the 72 hours or 24 hours deadline. All the editing periods include weekends and holidays.

You will receive a notification via text message and email as soon as your paper has been edited.

Check the How it works page for more information.

Can I have my thesis 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 thesis 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, all year round.

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