Professional academic editing and proofreading services
ProofreaderPro pairs your manuscript with a subject-matched PhD editor and a senior QA editor, so your writing reaches the standard journals expect without losing your voice. From a light proofread to full editing, humanizing, paraphrasing, translation and citation work, every service runs on the same dual-editing process, fixed per-word pricing and a free same-day quote.
Subject-matched editing by PhD editors in your field
Your paper is assigned to one of 300+ native English editors who hold a PhD or a research background in your discipline, never a generalist. A materials science manuscript goes to a materials scientist; a law review goes to a legal editor. That subject match is why the editing reads like it was written by a specialist in your field, with the right terminology, conventions and argument structure. A senior QA editor then verifies the work independently before it reaches you.
Every academic manuscript type, from journal articles to PhD theses
We edit journal papers, conference papers, PhD and Master's theses, dissertations, systematic reviews, grant applications, book chapters, case reports, abstracts and reviewer responses. Whether it is a two-page abstract or a 400-page thesis, the process is identical: subject-matched editing, senior QA verification and tracked changes returned to you, chapter by chapter when committee deadlines are staggered.
Transparent per-word pricing and a free same-day quote
Pricing is per word and fixed before any work starts, from US$0.018 per word for proofreading. A senior editor reviews your file and sends a fixed quote within hours, and that quote can only come in lower after review, never higher. There are no minimum fees, subject surcharges or hidden extras, and 48-hour express delivery is available when a deadline is tight.
Tracked changes, an editing certificate and a 30-day re-edit
Every order returns a Word file with full tracked changes, a clean ready-to-submit version, and a Language Editing Certificate with a unique verification number, addressed to your target journal and accepted by Scopus and Web of Science indexed journals. If reviewers request language changes within 30 days of delivery, we re-edit the revised passages at no cost.
Common questions
How fast will I get my quote?
Same day, usually within a few hours. A senior editor checks the manuscript's length, subject and condition, then sends a fixed price and delivery date. The quote is free and carries no obligation.
How long does the editing take?
Standard delivery is 4 to 5 days for manuscripts under 20,000 words, 6 to 7 days for 20,000 to 100,000 words, and 7 to 10 days above that. Express 48-hour delivery is available for editing services at twice the standard rate.
Who will edit my manuscript?
A native-English editor with a PhD or research background in your discipline. A second, senior QA editor then verifies the edit before delivery.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Yes. Files are shared only with the editors assigned to your work, and we are happy to sign your institution's NDA before you upload anything.
What exactly do I get back?
A Word file with full tracked changes, a clean ready-to-submit version, an editing certificate with a unique verification number, a receipt on request, and the editor-verified Turnitin report where your service includes one.
What if my journal asks for further language changes?
Within 30 days of delivery we re-edit the revised passages free of charge.
How much does academic editing cost?
Pricing is per word and fixed before work starts: proofreading is US$0.018 per word, Editing + Proofreading US$0.036, and Humanizing, Paraphrasing and Translation US$0.054. Editor-verified Turnitin reports are US$16 each or US$22 for the AI + similarity bundle. Express 48-hour delivery doubles the per-word rate. Your free same-day quote states the exact total; it can come in lower after review, never higher.
Do journals accept your editing certificate?
Yes. The Language Editing Certificate carries a unique verification number and is addressed to your target journal when you name one. It is the document editors ask for when they request evidence of professional English editing, and it has been accepted by Scopus and Web of Science indexed journals across major publishers. Reviewers asking for language certification is increasingly common for non-native-English submissions.
Can you edit a full PhD thesis or book manuscript?
Yes, there is no upper size limit. Manuscripts over 100,000 words are delivered in 7 to 10 days as standard, or chapter by chapter on a schedule that matches your committee or publisher deadlines. Long documents get the same dual-editing process, plus a consistency pass across chapters for terminology, notation, heading style and citation format, which is where long manuscripts usually drift.
How do you keep my manuscript confidential?
Files are transferred over encrypted connections, shared only with the subject editor and the senior QA editor assigned to your work, and never added to any database or used for anything beyond your order. We are happy to sign your institution's NDA before you upload anything, and Turnitin checks are run in no-repository mode so your text is not stored there either.
