How We Proofread

Your document is edited using the Track Changes feature in Microsoft Word ®. This allows you to view corrections easily and accept or reject any or all recommended changes. Any comments or suggestions with regard to clarity, meaning or usage are noted in the right-hand margin for your consideration.

You will be sent two different electronic versions of your document via e-mail.
In addition you will be sent a separate ‘comments’ document which will contain recommendations and feedback from our editor. The documents returned to you will be as follows:

Edited Version – This will be a clean copy of your document containing all the changes implemented and will be ready to submit or publish.
Corrected Version – This version will include all the changes made by the editor using the Track Changes function in Microsoft Word ®. This feature clearly identifies any errors and suggested corrections.
Comments – Our editor will provide comments/recommendations based on the proofreading.

Can you provide a certificate for proofreading and editing?
Yes. Upon completion, we can provide a certificate confirming that your document has been professionally proofread and edited by our team. This is particularly useful for academic submissions, thesis documents, and professional reports where proof of editorial review is required.
What is the difference between proofreading and copy editing?
Proofreading and copy editing are related but distinct services. Proofreading focuses on catching surface-level errors such as spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and punctuation issues. Copy editing goes a step further, refining the overall style, flow, clarity, and consistency of your writing. If you’re unsure which service is right for you, our team is happy to advise.
