How It Works

You can submit your document using our fully automated price calculator, submission form, and payment portal

Simply follow these four steps to add your document to the cart and proceed to checkout:

1. Word count: Enter the word count of your document and select your deadline. Then, click the green "Document Details" button to continue.

2. Document Details: Provide the necessary information, then click the green "File Upload" button to move to the next step.

3. Upload Your File: Upload either a ZIP or RAR archive, or a single file. Afterward, click the green "Personal Details" button.

4. Personal Details: Enter your personal information.

Once you’ve completed the final step, you'll be able to add your document to the cart and proceed to payment. The total amount will be displayed in your local currency at checkout.

If you prefer to pay by bank transfer, simply select “Bank Deposit” at checkout. After completing your order, you can download an invoice containing our bank details.

The format should be either British or American English. The style guide could be Harvard referencing, Chicago referencing, APA style, weblink to author instructions of a journal, etc. If no style guide is supplied we correct references to the style that is prevalent in the document to ensure continuity.

Please note the deadline should be the time and date you need it in your e-mail inbox. The deadline should ideally allow you plenty of time before the due date for submission to respond to any suggestions and recommendations made by the proofreader (this often involves the need to add or complete bibliographical references), as well as to print and bind the document.

If you’d like a personalized quote, just follow the manual submission guidelines below, and we’ll handle the rest. Our team is available 24/7 and usually responds within 2 hours.

Your preferred ways to pay: online or bank transfer

As soon as Proof-Reading-Service.com receives your document, we will carry out a word count in Microsoft Word (Tools → Word count…). The indicated word count will be multiplied by the rate that applies to you.

After we have carried out the word count and the calculation we will send you an e-mail confirming the price, deadline, format and style guide. Even if heavy editing is required and we have to spend more time on your document than we anticipated we guarantee that the calculated price will not go up.

Your document is proofread using the ‘track changes’ function of Microsoft Word. This is a standard function installed in most versions of Microsoft Word. This function allows you to move easily between changes and accept any or all of the modifications proposed by the proofreader. Corrections, suggestions and comments are shown in the right-hand margin and are easy to accept into your document.

When we have finished proofreading we will return two files to you: a tracked version and a clean version of your proofread document. The tracked version is named yourfilename_tracked_version and the clean version is named yourfilename_clean_version. Using our previous example these would be: Andre_Carpenter_02072024_tracked_version and Andre_Carpenter_02072024_clean_version.

The advantage of this method is that in the tracked version of your document you can easily move between the changes the proofreader has made. The clean version is ready to print out and you do not have to type in all the changes yourself. Corrections, suggestions and comments are shown in the right-hand margin of the tracked version. Click on the appropriate file below to see the difference: Andre_Carpenter_02072024_tracked_version or Andre_Carpenter_02072024_clean_version.

Store Credit
Large institutions and universities often struggle with end-of-year budget management, especially when unspent funds cannot be carried over. A practical solution is purchasing proofreading credit and distributing it across multiple accounts, providing both control and flexibility. This allows universities to allocate credit for proofreading services to specific departments or individuals, avoiding the need for credit cards or direct payments. This approach prevents rushed spending, ensures better use of funds, and improves oversight for more strategic financial planning.
