All online proofreading and copy-editing services on Wordy is done by professional, first-language editors based in the UK, US, and Australia. Each job has its own webpage with a messaging system, so that you can get in touch with your editor – and they with you – at any point in the process. This is great for last-minute changes or when signing off on a job. The messaging page stays open for up to three days after the editor has delivered the job, so if you have any questions – ask them!

Especially online proofreading and copy-editing services are all about understanding the context and concept of your text, and adhering to the tone of voice and rules you’ve already laid down when you send through your document. In our humble opinion, it really takes a skilled, intelligent editor to make the best of your text and ready it for publication. We do rely heavily on technology to make job processing and assigning on Wordy as straightforward as possible, but when it comes to online proofreading, it’s all about good old elbow grease. There aren’t any secrets to it; just the accumulated editing experience of more than 2,000 years. Wordy adheres to the professional and ethical standards laid out by the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading in the UK and The American Copy Editors Society in the US.

If you’re representing a company or an educational institution, the chances are that you’re not used to paying per delivery for your proofreading services, but instead receive an invoice once a month for the jobs you’ve actually processed. We can set up an open credit account for you, which will invoice individual users of the account or an account owner. We’re also here to step in as account managers, if you want to set up a copy-editor team to handle all your jobs or upload a house style you’d like us to follow. Do get in touch if you want to know more about our credit accounts for companies and educational institutions.

We provide online proofreading and copy-editing services to clients from all over the world, but as a company we are located in London. That means that tech support and client support are there for you during UK business hours, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. GMT – and as quickly as possible the following business day. In short, we’ll reply to your questions or comments as fast as we can, but do note that headquarters staff need our beauty sleep, too. Proofreaders are, of course, available 24/7.

Several things are taken into account. First, how many words does the document contain? Second, are you requesting just proofreading and editing or additional services, such as rewriting or an express delivery? The cost also increases if you have a house style guide that you want editors to refer to, or if you restrict the availability of your job to a team of editors that you have selected. The best way to get an estimated turnaround time for your document is to upload it for an instant price quote and approximate delivery time .  If the turnaround time and quote are acceptable, you can continue with the purchase and place the order. If not, no further commitment is required.

Most of Wordy’s larger proofreading clients are invoiced for their usage at the end of each month. If an account has multiple users, we can invoice each user separately, or send the invoice to a single point of contact – for example accounts payable. Standard payment terms are 30 days net. We’re happy to help you set up your account, add additional users, upload your house style (if applicable) and set up an editor/proofreader team. In addition, we’ll be happy to sign a service-level agreement (SLA) and/or non-disclosure agreement if necessary. You can read more on the Privacy Policy page , Pricing page , and the editor guides pages for either UK English or US English . To discuss your requirements, please get in touch .

BOOKS | DISSERTATIONS   | BUSINESS DOCUMENTS | RESUMES

We are better than AI. You’ve heard of various automated editing services, including Grammarly. But we do not automate like that; instead, we use real human editors to check your document. Our “advanced intel” technology is used when deemed helpful, and it is personally curated for you by our human editors.

It is easy to think that Grammarly or other AI tools are faster, but that would be a mistake. The problem is that you still need to check and implement all of those changes. That can be incredibly time consuming, especially when grammar is confusing or intimidating.

We take a better approach. We implement necessary changes for you, leaving only optional (author only) decisions for you. This ends up saving you time, often hours of work.

If you prefer a human reviewing your document, we tend to be faster than Grammarly in this sense: If you order 12-hour service, we not only charge less, but we offer speed upgrades — which means your document can often be completed in as little as one hour. This is one of the reasons why PaperBlazer is consistently used by top companies, universities, and organizations around the world.

We are better than competitors for a host of reasons:

• We only hire the top 1% of editors.
• We offer unlimited follow-up support.
• We provide better quality intel, beyond ChatGPT 3.5.
• We beat competitor pricing by removing the middlemen. 
• We use native speakers located in the U.S.
• We provide over a decade of experience, thus far more reliable than “gig” sites.

Other sites try to be like us. For example, Grammarly offers a “writing service” that features a real person; however, to add that, you not only need a subscription, but you need to pay above and beyond — many times more than what we charge. (As of the time of this writing, they are charging 3x more than what we charge for similar service.)

We edit everything! With over a decade of experience, we’ve edited almost every kind of document imaginable. 

Some of our specialties include books, RFP bids and proposals, theses, dissertations, academic research, business reports and proposals, and much, much more. 

Have questions? We're only a click away.

OVERNIGHT ORDERS

You may order basic, plus, or premium service.

Although very rare, overnight premium might be slightly delayed (by 1 to 6 hours), depending on the length of the document.  If that is an issue, please chat or email us, and we will expedite your order as much as possible.

If you approve of 18-hour service for premium service, use coupon 18HRSERVICE  as a special discount for overnight orders.

All other orders will be processed as normal.

Super helpful with studies.

Super helpful with studies, when you can't get your words out! Love the option of citation and the different formats, cos we all know how much we love citing....

👏Yay 👏 for saving time!

This has been such a great resource to use. I love the citation generator, especially when I have to write multiple papers in varying formats

Can citing material get any easier and more efficient than on Scribbr?! Nope! This is an amazing experience and I love the features available.

Helps with knowing how to format the different papers that are requested when you are not sure how or what they want turned in.

Student at Top University Recommends

I am student at a prestigious American University and I rely on Scribblr to provide me with citations, though I double check these, it saves me a lot of time which I don't always have available.

I highly recommend Scribbr

I highly recommend Scribbr! It's a perfect writing tool because it is super easy-to-use, free, and accurate citation maker that makes citing references a breeze.

Love Scribbr!

Scribbr was recommended to me by one of my professors, it is usually spot on! Very helpful resource to use for school. Love!

Scribbr takes some of the tediousness…

Scribbr takes some of the tediousness out of writing for college papers and allows me to get to what I need to do: write papers. I can easily jug out an assignment and collect references, while Scribbr will keep my references in order, allowing me to focus and turn in assignments on time.

Most sources are accurate

Most sources are accurate. just very few sources are unidentifiable

Scribbr has helped me with BSN program.

Scribbr has helped me with BSN program. Ussing this site has helped me keep my citations in line for different courses and using the appropriate APA format mostly. I am able to use and save all my citations for different assignments. I have used scribbr to assess my papers for plagiarism, improving papers, notations ect. also, which has helped improve my grades

Discovery of Scribbr

I discovered scribbr through a YouTube video that I watched about synthesis vs. summarizing. Therefore, towards the end of the video, it showed this website and how they cited their sources neatly! I have also been wanting to look for a website that organizes my references.

Exceptional resource

This is an exceptional resource. It diminished my time in placing my references in APA7 format.

it helped with havard referencing…

it helped with havard referencing making citations easier for me

Not as good as last time

I've used Scribbr a few times, but this experience wasn't as good as the last. It didn't quite meet my expectations, to be honest. Some of the comments were vague, frequently suggesting an entire sentence was "awkward" and to "please revise," without specifying which part. These kinds of comments aren't particularly helpful, as all I can do is rewrite the sentence without knowing if it's truly improved. Additionally, some modifications changed my intended meaning but weren’t marked for revision, so I had to go through everything again after accepting the adjustments. These never happened in my previous orders. Moreover, in my past orders, I received a brief summary for each paragraph, outlining what I did well and what could be improved, which I found really helpful. This time, however, there was none of that at all. I dont want to be picky, but i would give this order a 3/5. But I dont want spending more time arguing so i settle for a 4. Perhaps this just reflects different editorial styles. I do believe the editor put effort into the corrections, especially with grammar and spelling. However, I feel I could have achieved the same results with a Grammarly Premium and ChatGPT, rather than spending over 300 euros.

I have been using Scribbr citation for two years

I have been using Scribbr to cite all of my college writing for the past two years. I must say, it has saved me a lot of time since the discovery of this citation generator. It's not perfect, but it's close to it. I love it, and I can't write research papers without it! Thank you, Scribbr!

In short - AMAZING! I can't think of anything this tool does not do. Thaks so much for making my citation and paraphrasing life so much easier. 10/10!!!

I am able to easily download and save my reference

I am able to easily download the information needed for my reference and verify it with what I have to ensure accuracy and store my references in one place,

The automatic generator from URL or ISBIN is amazing I love that it keeps track of my whole bibliography, in alphabetical order and generates the text cited Some of the manual entries, especially related to government statutes are not correctly formatted to include dates, rev, sections, chapters and subsections

Recommended for online classes

Ease of use, multiple citation styles to choose from, easily build your own citation. I have been using for class and I'm pleased with Scribbr.com. my only advice is that you pay close attention to the auto-citation feature (where you enter a URL and receive a citation). This often works properly for the links, however, sometimes it can generate a citation of only the URL + title, whereas other articles on the same website came up with a full citation, so you just have to pay attention and sometimes have to build your own rather than using the auto-cite feature. Great site though!

This website is easy to use

This website is easy to use, has a lot of references, and makes my academic goals easier to reach!

First, we’ll have a short introductory call to learn more about your content editing needs and goals. You can ask any questions, and we’ll talk you through our editing services and process.

We’ll kick off a pilot (which usually lasts a month) so you can try our content editing and we can learn your style guide and refine our service based on your needs.

Your project manager will fully onboard your team (usually via Slack) and, based on your pilot, curate an editing team that seamlessly integrates into your content production pipeline.

Editing & Refinement

We’ll support your team by editing your content and continuously refining our service – and your style guide – based on your feedback. We will scale with your content and production cycle, allowing your team to focus on strategy and content creation.

How Does It Work?

Can i try your editing services.

Absolutely. We start with a one-month pilot to understand your content and needs and set you up on the best plan. You pay only for the editing services you use, so if we’re not the perfect fit, you can walk away, no strings attached.
