01

What is the difference between copy editing and proofreading?

Copy editing goes deeper , improving clarity, flow, and language. Proofreading is the final surface-level check: it catches typos, punctuation errors, spelling mistakes, and layout inconsistencies in a manuscript that's already substantively polished and ready for submission.

02

Who proofreads my manuscript?

Every manuscript is proofread by two native English-speaking editors holding PhD or Masters qualifications, matched to your discipline using our three-tier subject-matching system. The same editors remain available for the full 120-day re-editing window.

03

How long does proofreading take?

Turnaround depends on manuscript length. Most standard manuscripts are returned within 2–4 business days. Larger documents may take longer. Expedited options are available on request.

04

What is included in a Proofreading order?

Every Proofreading order includes: two-editor review, subject-area matching, journal formatting, word-count reduction (up to 10%), a Certificate of Editing, a Manuscript Rate Card, Expert Q&A for 365 days, and 120-day re-editing cover.

05

What is the Money Back Guarantee?

If your APC-proofread manuscript is ever rejected on the grounds of poor language, we will re-edit your paper for resubmission at no additional cost. This guarantee is backed by strict in-house quality controls and a documented review process.

06

Can I request additional revisions after delivery?

Yes. Every order includes 120 days of free re-editing cover. For unlimited revisions throughout that window, you can add Edit Unlimited at a rate of 2 cents per word.

07

How much does proofreading cost?

Pricing depends on your manuscript's word count and the options you select. You can view our full pricing on the Editing Pricing page, or contact us for a custom quote based on your manuscript and target journal.

08

Is my manuscript kept confidential?

Absolutely. Every file is protected with APC Lock, our secure file-handling system, and all editors sign strict confidentiality agreements. Your work is never shared, reused, or disclosed to any third party.
