What your correction looks like
You get your text back as a Word file with visible tracked changes. Your original is on the left, the same passage after editing on the right. With editing, the editor's comments appear in the right margin, just as in Word. The switch only changes the right-hand side.

Proofreading corrects spelling, grammar and punctuation. Style and word choice stay untouched, so there are no comments in the margin.
Editing includes proofreading and also improves sentence structure, style and academic language. The red thread check is always included: the editor checks whether structure and argument hold up from start to finish.
Red and struck through means removed, green and underlined means inserted. With editing, yellow passages connect the text to the comments in the right margin.
The example sentences are invented. We never show real customer texts, for reasons of confidentiality.

What is included in editing?
Our subject editors check everything that affects how well your text reads and how scholarly it sounds, without changing your content.
Spelling, grammar and punctuation are always included, according to British or American conventions, or the current Duden rules for German texts.
Sentence structure, word choice, repetitions and unclear phrasing are improved, and your tone stays consistent throughout.
Structure, argument and coherence are checked: do the chapters build on each other and does the text hold together as a whole?
Every edit is visible in Word. Comments in the margin explain the more important changes, and you accept or reject each one.
Editing by trained subject editors
Many students spend most of their time on research, reading and writing. At the end there is often little time left to look at the text as a reader would. Editing closes that gap: an experienced editor reads your work from start to finish and improves how it reads and how clearly it argues.
Our editors come from many different degree programmes and have at least seven years of experience in the language revision of academic texts. We match your order to an editor with a suitable background, so a law thesis is not read by someone who has only worked on literature.
Universities attach great importance to clear structure, consistent terminology and traceable arguments. Editing helps you show exactly that, so you can concentrate on your research and your findings.
What editing does not do
An editor does not rewrite your text, invent content, add sources or judge whether your argument is right in terms of the subject. Responsibility for the content stays with you, as examination rules expect. We refine expression, grammar and structure. That is editing, not ghostwriting.
Which texts is it suitable for?
- Bachelor and master theses
- Dissertations and doctoral theses
- Essays and term papers
- Non-fiction and specialist books
- Reports, proposals and presentations
- Texts in English (American or British) and German

Editing or proofreading: which do you need?
Proofreading corrects spelling, grammar and punctuation. Editing includes all of that and also improves style, sentence structure and flow. If your content and structure are final and you only want the last errors removed, proofreading is enough and costs €1.90 per standard page. If you are unsure about wording or argument, choose editing at €4.90 per standard page. For a closer look at structure alone, see the coherence check.
Top value for money
“I booked a 48-hour express editing job. On Saturday, after only 18 hours, the corrected work came back. It was corrected in great detail and the document was full of markings. Not only the mistakes I had missed were marked, but also new suggestions on sentence structure and style. After going through the suggested changes more closely, I accepted almost all of them.”
A great experience
“It really was a great experience and absolutely worth the money. I ordered on Tuesday evening at 9 pm and received the corrected work with feedback on Saturday at 3 pm. The corrections and comments were very coherent, and above all word repetitions, grammar and phrasing could be improved. I can only recommend it.”
Very satisfied with the editing
“I ordered editing for my term paper. I accepted all changes in the edited version and am very satisfied with the result.”
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between proofreading and editing?
Proofreading corrects purely formal errors: spelling, grammar and punctuation. Editing goes further and also improves sentence structure, style, expression and readability. Proofreading is always included in editing.
What is the red thread check?
It is included free of charge with editing. Our editors check whether structure, argument and coherence work: do chapters build on each other logically, are arguments developed clearly, and does the text follow a line the reader can trace?
What does editing cost?
Standard editing costs €4.90 per standard page with a delivery time of 5 days. Express is available for €6.90 (48 h) or €8.90 (24 h). A standard page is 1,800 characters including spaces. Work out the exact price with the page calculator or the price calculator. The minimum order value is €19.
How do I receive the edited document?
By email as a DOCX file. All changes are Word tracked changes, so you see every intervention in colour and can accept or reject each suggestion individually.
Can I order express editing?
Yes. 48-hour express costs €6.90 per standard page and 24-hour express €8.90. The deadline applies from your order, including nights, weekends and public holidays. More at express proofreading.
Will the editors change my content?
No. Editors change only language, style and expression, never the meaning of your text. Arguments, theses and conclusions stay intact, and every intervention is visible as a tracked change.
Which file formats are accepted?
Upload a PDF or DOCX file of up to 100 MB. If you wrote in LaTeX, export a compiled PDF first. DOCX files come back with tracked changes. PDF files carry a surcharge of €1.50 per standard page, because they have to be converted to Word.
Do you edit texts in English?
Yes. Our service covers English (British or American) and German texts, including German as it is used in Austria and Switzerland. See English proofreading for details.
What tools do you use?
We edit in Microsoft Word with Track Changes switched on. From Google Docs you export a DOCX file, from LaTeX a compiled PDF. Corrections follow the Duden rules for German texts and, where relevant, the style guide of your university.
What if I do not accept some changes?
You stay in full control. Each correction can be accepted or rejected, for example if your department prefers a different spelling of a technical term. Where something is unclear, the editor leaves a short comment with an explanation.

Personal feedback is part of the service
We do not work silently in the background on your text. We comment on what we notice:
- Comments on problematic or unclear passages, right in the document
- Individual feedback, not just silent corrections
- Concrete hints on writing style and expression
We refine expression, grammar and structure. We never write whole passages for you: that would be ghostwriting.
