FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Some answers to the most common questions we get asked.

How will you improve my writing?

Our experienced editors will significantly improve your text through accurate proofreading and intuitive editing. We utilise the 'track changes' feature of Microsoft Word so that you can see all of the amendments we make to your document. We will provide you with a tracked version that highlights our changes, as well as a 'clean' version with all of our amendments accepted. We will improve word choice to ensure appropriate tone, fix phrasing issues and also correct errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation for coherent flow.


How can I be sure of the quality of your service and do you have a money-back guarantee?

You are fully protected by our quality guarantee. This states that if you are not 100% satisfied with our service and can cite a valid reason for this, we will issue a partial or full refund or a re-edit if you wish.


How do you choose which editor will proofread my document?

With over 200 editing professionals working for us, we have experts across the full spectrum of academic disciplines and business areas. This enables us to pair your document with an Editor who has the relevant expertise.

What payment options do you offer?

We accept all major credit and debit cards via our website (including Visa, MasterCard, Amex and Maestro) through our payment processor Stripe.


How will my document be returned to me?

We will send your proofread and edited document to you via e-mail. You will receive a 'track changes' version of your file, which will show amendments made, as well as a 'clean' version, with all changes accepted and tracking removed. We will not send any physical or printed copies.


Will your service affect my Turnitin / plagarism score?

Our service will have no impact on your Turnitin or plagarism score. The files you send to us are kept secure and never shared with 3rd parties.


Will my files be kept secure and confidential?

All files submitted to Perfect Proofread will be kept in the strictest confidence. Only your assigned editor will have access your files and we will not share them externally under any circumstances. All client files are automatically deleted from our system 30 days after we complete the order. We will gladly sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) if required.


What if I have follow up questions?

We will be happy to answer any questions you may have after you have received your proofread and edited document. Simply contact us and we will provide a full and prompt response to any questions you may have.

  • We will check and correct all spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalisation and verb tense errors.
  • Tweak sentences to ensure smooth flow and coherence.
  • Adapt vocabulary appropriately to suit the document type and purpose.
  • Remove repetition, fix inconsistencies, highlight unclear sentences and suggest corrections.
  • Ensure that citations and references are clear and correct, where applicable.

    Every document we work on is proofread by two of our experienced Editors. Our two-proofreader model enables us to guarantee that your document is completely error free. It is not always easy to edit your own work, and errors can slip in and lessen the impact of your writing. Our expert proofreaders will ensure your document reads well with a smooth flow and coherent narrative.
