Hi Anwar,

Thank you for your recent order and for taking the time to leave ProofreadingPal a 3-star review. We were sorry to hear that you felt not much improvement was made to the article. We take these matters very seriously at ProofreadingPal.

We reached out via email twice to ask for examples of where grammar or spelling errors were left in or introduced into the document by the proofreader. However, we have not heard back from you.

We want to assure you of the high-quality editing the proofreader has applied to your document. The editors made 361 insertions, 383 deletions, 11 formatting changes, and 71 comments. This comes to a total of 826 revisions. This, in turn, comes out to 1 edit every 8.13 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 email you a PDF visual of the “showing markup” version of your text, which is a record of every change made to your document.

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

Thanks,
Abby and the ProofreadingPal team

I have been using ProofreadingPal for…

I have been using ProofreadingPal for about eight years. On Saturday, 12/16/1923, your employee Shay gave me on a specific inquiry that I had made was the best that I have ever heard from anyone. Her response was clear, concise, and succinct. Her explanation is one that will endure in any essay type composition. Excellent!!!

Professional

I often use Proofreading Pal, they've always been very professional. I cannot work with it. Just one thing they could improve: how to contact quickly the reviewers if you have any question? I don't see a fast way to ask questions about edits.

The fact that you are available 24X7 is offers flexibility

The fact that you are available 24X7 is great as I live in a different time zone, and would find it really hard if it was not so.
I am working on another article now and will avail your services soon.

Hi Saurav,

My name is Abby, and I am the customer service manager at ProofreadingPal. Thank you for your recent order. We were sorry to hear that you felt the proofreader’s edits changed the meaning of many of your sentences. We take these matters very seriously at ProofreadingPal.

We have reached out twice via email to ask for examples of where grammar or spelling errors were left in or introduced into the documents by the proofreaders or where the meanings of your sentences were changed. However, we have not heard back.

Our proofreaders always do their best to retain your document’s intended meaning. However, as the author, you are the subject matter expert, while our proofreaders are outside observers. We encourage proofreaders to leave comments and suggestions when they are unsure of your intended meaning or when they want to recommend changes they do not feel they have the full authority to implement themselves. Unfortunately, as outsiders, they may occasionally interpret a sentence or paragraph differently than you intended while writing it. You are welcome to adopt or ignore comments, suggestions, and edits as you see fit. We encourage you to disregard an edit that does not align with your intended meaning. Because we use the track changes feature of Microsoft Word, you can accept or reject individual edits.

We want to assure you of the high-quality editing the proofreader has applied to your document. The editor made 315 insertions, 333 deletions, 16 formatting changes, and 61 comments. This comes to a total of 725 revisions. This, in turn, comes out to 1 edit every 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 from you. In the meantime, we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future!

Excellent work

I am indeed very happy with the work of Proofreadingpal team. In particularly, I like their explanations of why they have to edit a phrase or a word. They were very thorough and on time.
Their rates are much better than other services.
I appreciate their editing and would definitely consider them for the future work.
