Proofreading & Editing Service — FAQ
What is the difference between proofreading and editing?
Proofreading fixes surface errors — grammar, spelling, punctuation and formatting. Editing goes deeper, improving clarity, structure, flow, word choice and citation while keeping your voice and argument intact.
Will you change my meaning or voice?
No. Our editors preserve your argument and voice. We improve how clearly it reads, and flag anything that needs your decision with tracked changes and comments.
Do you check citations and references?
Yes. We check and correct in-text citations and the reference list in APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, OSCOLA, Vancouver and more.
Do you offer paraphrasing and plagiarism removal?
Yes. We offer human academic paraphrasing and rewriting to improve originality, plus a plagiarism and AI screen with a similarity report on request.
Is it confidential and human?
Yes. Every order is fully confidential and edited by a real human, never AI software alone.
How fast and how much?
Proofreading and editing start at budget-friendly rates, with turnaround as fast as a few hours for shorter documents.
Is using a document writing service legal?
Yes. Buying academic writing assistance is legal. We provide original, custom reference material and study support, intended to be used as a model and a research and structuring guide for your own submission.
Is my order confidential, and will anyone find out?
Completely confidential. We never share, sell or publish your details, your order is private, and payments run over encrypted channels.
Do I pay before or after the work is written?
You confirm your order to start and stay in control throughout, reviewing the work and requesting free revisions before you are happy with it.
Can I choose my own writer?
Where availability allows, yes — request a specific writer or let us auto-match you to the best-fit expert for your subject and level. Either way you get a degree-qualified, vetted writer.
What is your refund and cancellation policy?
If work has not started, cancel for a full refund. If a draft is delivered and genuinely misses the brief, use unlimited free revisions; if we still fall short, our money-back guarantee applies after a quality review.
Which citation and referencing styles do you support?
All major styles, including APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, OSCOLA, Vancouver, IEEE and AGLC. Tell us the style in your brief and your reference list and in-text citations follow it exactly — the reference page is free.
Can I get a free plagiarism or originality report?
Yes. Every document is written from scratch and screened with anti-plagiarism software, and a free originality report is available on request.
What is the difference between proofreading and editing?
Proofreading fixes grammar, spelling, punctuation and formatting; editing also improves clarity, structure, flow and academic tone. Choose either, or both together.
Will you use tracked changes?
Yes. We return your document with tracked changes and comments so you can see and accept every edit, plus a clean final copy.
Do you only fix grammar or also improve structure?
Both, depending on the level you choose. Our deeper editing strengthens argument, structure, coherence and referencing without changing your voice.
How fast is your proofreading turnaround?
As fast as a few hours for shorter documents. Tell us your deadline and word count and we confirm the turnaround up front.
What is the difference between proofreading and editing?
Proofreading fixes surface errors — spelling, grammar, punctuation and consistency. Editing goes deeper, improving clarity, structure, flow and referencing. Editing includes proofreading; proofreading does not include editing.
Which service do I need?
If your draft is finished and just needs error-checking, choose proofreading. If it needs stronger clarity, structure or flow, choose editing — which finishes with a proofread.
