I thought the corrections were really helpful and I appreciate that she took the time to go through it and give nice comments. It also came back earlier than I had thought and that was very effective. I'd recommend it. Thank you very much :)

Adequate proofing

I recently sent out a sample of a manuscript to five different proofing organisations. Scribbr was not the best, but also not the worst. Their efforts were good, with few misunderstandings, but two other services were above expectation, leaving Scribbr in third place. I would say the service is adequate for many and great if you don't want to spend time reviewing many changes. For me, I preferred the eager and deeper edits of the other services, even if they had a few mistakes and misinterpretations I had to undo.

Excellent Experience!

I requested a 7 day turn around of my 111 page dissertation. The Scribbr editors provided professional edits, comments, and recommendations to assist me in drafting the final version of my paper. The Scribbr team gain my trust and made this daunting process quite seamless. I would highly recommend Scribbr to anyone in need of the many services Scribbr provide. Thank you Deb and Emma for your patience with my review. I am 100% satisfied. Thank you, Paula Russo

Worth every penny!

The comments and suggested changes were incredibly good, easy to understand and well argued. I chose the proofreading, structure check, and clarity check and it did not disappoint. I will definitely use this service again in the future. Highly recommended!

If only I would have found Scribbr sooner!

Within 12 hours of submitting a 50,000 word document, I was paired with an editor who showcased his talents in a 2,000 word editorial preview. The attention to detail was impressive and exactly what I needed to polish off my work. The final edit was returned promptly with great feedback throughout. All I can say is: I wish I would’ve found Scribbr at the beginning of my project rather than at the end!
