What proofreading includes

Proofreading is the final polish. We don't rewrite your sentences or change your voice. If a sentence is unclear, we leave a short comment instead of rewriting it. If your text needs heavier work on flow and wording, that's line editing, and we'll tell you honestly in the quote which one you need.

Who it's for

Students and job seekers polishing an essay, cover letter or personal statement. Small businesses checking web pages, brochures and emails before they go out. Bloggers and authors doing a last pass before publishing. Non-native English writers who want their text to read naturally and correctly.

Why the price is low

We have no agency overhead and we use modern tools to catch routine errors quickly. That frees the human reviewer to focus on what software misses: context, names, tone and consistency. You get a fixed price up front, with no subscription and no hidden fees.

Turnaround

Short documents are often returned within 24 hours. For longer texts such as books, your quote states the exact deadline. Rush delivery can be quoted on request.

Our guarantee

100% Satisfaction Guarantee: not happy with the work? We'll revise it for free until you are. Still not satisfied? Get a full refund within 14 days of delivery, no questions asked. Free revisions cover fixes within the brief agreed in your quote. See our Refund Policy.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you need in the quote form. Files aren't needed yet.

  3. Approve and pay through Stripe. We do the work, a person reviews it, and you get it back by the agreed deadline.
  4. Ask for changes if anything isn't right. Revisions within the brief are free.

Frequently asked questions

How much does proofreading cost?

$4 per 1,000 words. A 2,500-word article is about $10 and a 60,000-word book about $240. Your exact price is fixed in a written quote before you pay.

What's the difference between proofreading and editing?

Proofreading fixes surface errors such as spelling, grammar and punctuation. Line editing also improves clarity, flow and word choice sentence by sentence. Editing is $7 per 1,000 words.

What file formats do you accept?

Word, Google Docs, PDF, plain text and most common formats. We return Word or Google Docs with tracked changes, or a clean copy if you prefer.

What if I'm not happy?

We revise for free until you are. Still not satisfied? Full refund within 14 days of delivery, no questions asked.

Do you use AI?

Yes, as a tool. AI helps us work fast and keep prices low, but a person reads and checks every job before it's delivered. We never send unreviewed machine output.

Is my document kept private?

Yes. We use your files only to do the job you ordered and don't share them or publish them. See our Privacy Policy.
