Read review on TrustpilotThey do the job as advertised. I used the service to finalize the citations, formatting, editing, and proofreading for my dissertation. It was expensive but worth the money, especially when I saw how much better it read and looked afterwards. I could not have found and done all the revisions in the three days in which they did it. They were also gracious about reworking my Table of Contents and lists and did so in the span of a few hours.
Read review on TrustpilotSuper good service, quick feedback, great communication with the Lektor. Very good an konstruktive feedback from Margarete (Lektor). Only one negative point which lead to the one star reduction (nothing against the Lektor) was the price with nearly 500€.
Read review on TrustpilotI use scribbr all the time for understadning how to perform psychology research and for questions, which always seem to be explained in an easy answer. Since starting university I have used it so much I cannot imagine living without it! I love this website with all my heart, the tiny explations, links and examples. I am not sure how it is for other subjects but for psychology I love it.
Read review on Trustpilotgood site for paraphrasing and for citing your sources.
Read review on TrustpilotWorking with Scribbr and my editor, Claire, was an absolute pleasure. The platform was user-friendly, and the turnaround time was faster than I anticipated. Claire was professional, efficient, and provided insightful feedback that greatly improved my document. Her attention to detail and meticulous editing skills were second to none. I highly recommend Scribbr and their team of skilled editors, especially Claire, to anyone seeking a reliable and excellent editing service. Five stars all around!
Read review on TrustpilotGreat customer service for a company is like water for chocolate. Without it is just a chocolate brick. Similarly, without great customer service, a company is just not worth using. This semester was my final thesis for my graduate program, needless to say, I was under a lot of pressure. The calmness and consistent customer care of the Scribbr team was unparalleled. I've never received prompt care with a web-based company. Thank you Scribbr for going above and beyond and doing it with such care when I needed it most. I'm eternally grateful and wish the entire team, staff, and those touched by this awesome service much success and vitality with this company, they offer great service and I don't mind paying whatever it costs to get quality work with professionals in the field. Thank you.

Yes! Our essay coaches can help you reduce your word count by up to 25%. You can choose to receive this feedback through direct edits or suggestions in comments – just select your choice when you upload your essay.
When you submit your essay to our College Essay Editing & Coaching service, you’ll be asked to indicate what type of content feedback you would like to receive. You can choose from three options:
Whichever option you choose, you’ll receive in-depth content feedback from your essay coach. However, the type of feedback your essay coach provides may differ, and the option you should choose depends on what outcome you want from the review. You can always elaborate on what type of feedback you want in your note to your essay coach.
Learn more about the three options below.
Dig deep and challenge me
If you choose this option, we’ll challenge you to write the best possible essay – no content suggestions are off-limits, including reorienting your topic or reframing your story. Students who choose this option aren’t afraid to go back to the drawing board if it’ll increase their chances of getting accepted. You may have to roll up your sleeves and do some more work on your essay, but your essay will be much stronger because of it.
Select this option if your priority is to have the best possible essay, even if it requires some extra work on your side.
Give me the standard treatment
We’ll strike a balance between “dig deep and challenge me” and “tread lightly.” We may suggest changes to your structure and narrative, including removing weak content, elaborating on certain sections, and adding content to strengthen your arguments. You may have to rework sentences and paragraphs, but we won’t suggest major content changes.
Tread lightly
With this option, we’ll focus on improving your essay in a way that requires little additional work from you. We’ll provide you with targeted suggestions for how to refine your essay’s structure and narrative, but we will work within your current structure and topic. While you may have to make a few tweaks here and there, we’ll aim to return you a polished draft that’s ready to be submitted to your chosen colleges.
Select this option if you are fairly satisfied with your essay and don’t want to make major changes or if you have limited time to revise.
