Manual Submission Guidelines — Pay via Bank Transfer
To ensure a smooth and efficient process, please follow the instructions below when submitting your document manually and paying by bank transfer.
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, the file name should be:
Andre_Carpenter_02072024
If you send more than one file 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 indicate your preferred style guide (e.g. Harvard, Chicago, APA, or provide a link to a journal’s author guidelines).
If no style guide is provided, our editors will follow the referencing style most consistent with your document to maintain continuity.
3. Deadline
Please set the deadline as the time and date you need the proofread document returned to your email inbox.
We recommend allowing sufficient time before your final submission date to review our comments and incorporate any suggested revisions, which may include completing references or other minor additions.
4. Submission
To submit your document, please use the chat function on our website to get in touch with us. Our team will review your request and provide all the necessary information and instructions for sending your file securely.
When sending your file(s), please include the following details:
- Your full name

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 Payment
Once we receive your document, we will review it and perform a word count to calculate your individual quotation.
You will then receive a confirmation email detailing the price, deadline, format, and style guide.
Even if additional editing time is required, the confirmed price will remain fixed.
6. Proofreading Process
Your document will be proofread using Microsoft Word’s ‘Track Changes’ function. This allows you to easily view, accept, or reject each correction. Comments and suggestions appear clearly in the right-hand margin.
When your proofreading is complete, you will receive two files:
- Tracked version: yourfilename_tracked_version.docx
- Clean version: yourfilename_clean_version.docx
For example:
Andre_Carpenter_02072024_tracked_version ↗ and Andre_Carpenter_02072024_clean_version ↗
The tracked version lets you review every change, while the clean version is ready for immediate use or submission.
Our team is available 24 hours a day and typically responds within two hours of receiving your file.
