How It Works
Automatic Submission
You can submit your document instantly using our fully automated price calculator, submission form, and payment portal. This method allows you to upload your document, receive a price quote immediately, and complete your payment securely—all in one step.
Manual Submission
If you prefer to submit your document manually, please follow the steps below. Our team will guide you through the process via the chat function on our website.
1. File Naming
Please rename your document as follows: First-name_Last-name_Today’s-date.
For example, if your name is Andre Carpenter and today’s date is 2 July 2024, your file name should be Andre_Carpenter_02072024.
If you send multiple files on the same day, please name them sequentially: Andre_Carpenter_02072024_2, Andre_Carpenter_02072024_3, and so on.
2. Language and Style
Your document should be written in either British or American English.
If applicable, please specify your preferred style guide (e.g., Harvard, Chicago, APA, or provide a link to the author guidelines of a journal).
If no style guide is provided, our editors will follow the referencing style most consistent within your document to ensure continuity.
3. Deadline
Please set your deadline as the date and time you wish to receive the proofread document in your email inbox.
We recommend choosing a deadline that allows you enough time to review our comments and make any final adjustments before submission or printing.
4. File Submission
To submit your document manually, please contact us using the chat function on our website. Our team will review your request and provide all necessary information and secure upload instructions.
When sending your file(s), please include the following details:
- Your full name
- University or institution
- Address details
- Academic field
- Your deadline
- Preferred format (British or American English)
- Style guide (if applicable)
- Any specific comments or instructions
Once we have received your information, we will guide you through the next steps for uploading your document and processing your request efficiently.
5. Quotation and Confirmation
After receiving your document, we will carry out a word count in Microsoft Word (Tools → Word Count) and calculate your total fee based on our standard rates.
You will receive a confirmation email detailing the price, deadline, format, and style guide. Even if additional editing is required, the confirmed price will remain fixed.
6. Proofreading Method
Your document will be proofread using Microsoft Word’s “Track Changes” feature, allowing you to review, accept, or reject each correction easily. Comments and suggestions will appear clearly in the right-hand margin.
7. Returned Files
When proofreading is complete, you will receive two versions:
- Tracked version: yourfilename_tracked_version.docx
- Clean version: yourfilename_clean_version.docx
Example: Andre_Carpenter_02072024_tracked_version and Andre_Carpenter_02072024_clean_version.
The tracked version allows you to review every change, while the clean version is ready for immediate use or submission.
Additional Information
Store Credit Option
Many universities and institutions face end-of-year budget restrictions when unused funds cannot be carried over. A practical solution is to purchase proofreading credit, which can be distributed across departments or individuals. This approach provides flexibility, removes the need for direct payments or credit cards, and supports better budget management and transparency.
