I am extremely satisfied with the proofreading conducted on my paper by Kathleen Ricker. Her editing was excellent. She identified errors that I would never have caught myself. My paper has improved significantly compared to the version I originally sent to ProofreadingPal. Great job!

Nice job, Proofreading Pal :)

The service was prompt and clear. I went with two proofreaders for my assignment and I am glad that I did: they both provided helpful corrections and edits. Everything was explained and so I knew what to expect. I will use them again.

Directions Provided Equals Satisfied Customers

company has its proofreaders follow author directions, so the author is incentivised to be clear about what it is they wish from the Proofreader. For me, comments were in parens in the clean document at the point where they needed to appear. One minor detail that could benefit the author is the Proofreader's overall reaction to their document. Words should be in keeping with the stated reaction in sentence form.

Hi Sachin,

We have attempted to contact you via email. We still have not heard back, nor have we received any specific examples of spelling or grammar errors left in or introduced into your document by the proofreader. After our internal investigation, we’ve found the editor made 338 insertions, 315 deletions, and 40 comments. This comes to a total of 693 revisions. This, in turn, comes out to 1 edit every 4.4 words. It appears as though your document has been substantially edited for grammar and overall flow/content. Your document has been dramatically improved from its original state, and the proofreader has done a thorough job fixing hundreds of errors.

We look forward to hearing back so we can investigate this matter further. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. We appreciate your business.

Thanks,
Alicia and the ProofreadingPal team

The editing service this time was mostly about format editing, yet I was expecting significant rewriting for us. I used the editing services multiple times before and I was very happy about the substantial rewriting for us before.

Hi Song,

Thank you for your recent order. We are sorry to hear that you felt that your document received inadequate attention and revisions outside of formatting edits. We take these matters very seriously at ProofreadingPal.

After reaching out to you over email, we have still not received any specific examples of grammar or spelling errors that were either left in or introduced into your document by the proofreaders. Unfortunately, unless you can provide specific examples of grammar and syntax errors, we are unable to review the document. This is because without knowing the specific errors, we cannot be sure that these errors were made or overlooked by our proofreaders or if they were made to the document after we completed our proofreading.

We want to assure you of the high-quality editing the proofreaders have applied to your document. The editors made 285 insertions, 265 deletions, 69 formatting changes, and 104 comments. This comes to a total of 723 revisions. This, in turn, comes out to 1 edit every 12 words. It appears as though your document has been substantially edited for grammar and overall flow/content. Your document has been dramatically improved from its original state, and the two proofreaders have done a thorough job fixing hundreds of errors.

We look forward to hearing back from you. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. We appreciate your business.

Thanks,
Alicia and the ProofreadingPal team

review quality

I am writing to express my concern regarding the quality of the proofreading I received for project #171274. Upon reviewing the document, I found that the proofreading did not meet the level of quality I expected based on your service description. In particular:

Some sentences were left unclear or awkwardly worded without improvements, just comments……

I selected ProofreadingPal to ensure my document would be polished and professionally edited, but unfortunately, the result has required me to spend significant additional time correcting these issues myself.

I would appreciate it if you could review my order and advise on how this situation can be resolved — whether through a re-edit, a credit, or another form of remedy.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response.

Hi Mengyao,

Thank you for your recent order. I see you're a repeat customer. It's a bit concerning that you've gone onto Trustpilot to leave us a 1-star review without even attempting to contact our customer service department. Additionally, when we reached out to you asking for specific instances of issues with clarity, consistency, and awkward phrasing, you did not provide any. We take these matters very seriously at ProofreadingPal, and we ask that customers provide exact page numbers so that we can best address their concerns. We have asked you for specific examples and locations on two separate occasions, and you haven’t even provided us with a single example.

We want to assure you of the high-quality editing the proofreaders have applied to your document. The editors made 663 insertions, 632 deletions, 1,285 formatting changes, and 155 comments. This comes to a total of 2,735 revisions. This, in turn, comes out to 1 edit every 4.21 words. It appears as though your document has been substantially edited for grammar and overall flow/content. Your document has been dramatically improved from its original state, and the two proofreaders have done a thorough job fixing thousands of errors.

We look forward to your response to our emails so we can investigate this matter further. We appreciate your business.

Thanks,
Alicia and the ProofreadingPal team
