Frequently Asked Questions

Can I come in and speak to somebody?
Our team is working remotely so if you wish to speak to somebody we can arrange a Zoom call and our academic consultants will be ready to discuss your requirements in further detail. Simply fill out this form and let us know your preferences. Alternatively, you can always reach out to us via email at [email protected], or on the phone at +44 (0) 207 391 9035. You can also connect with us on WhatsApp or through the Live Chat on our website.
How much will you charge for my editing project?
We are a bespoke proofreading and editing company, so the price you pay depends on the level of editing treatment you require, as well as the type of document, its length and its complexity, and how quickly you need the document edited or proofread. For an exact price, click here. Please note that we do have a minimum order value of £20.
My subject is very specialised. Are you sure you can help?
We are able to process approximately 98% of all orders that are placed with us, including PhDs. If you cannot find your subject on our order form, please contact us and once we know full details, we'll determine if we can take your order forward.
Who is the typical Oxbridge Editing customer?
Since we began offering our bespoke editing service in 2007, we have evolved largely as a business and now assist students and organisations from across the globe. Whether you’re an undergraduate student or a multi-national corporation, rest assured we have editors and proofreaders who are the perfect fit for your project.
How long does proofreading/editing take?
As we offer a bespoke service, we like to let our clients dictate the deadline when placing an order. However, if you would like a rough idea of how long it would take our team to review your document, we would personally advise allowing one day per 5,000 words that you would like to have proofread, and one day per 4,000 words that you would like to have stylistically edited.
Does the word count include references and bibliography?
Yes, we calculate the word count based on your entire document. Many of our clients prefer to have the whole document proofread or edited as this ensures continuity throughout. If you do not want the references and bibliography to be reviewed, please remove these parts from the document or inform us that the editor should refrain from making any changes here.
Can I speak to my editor?
Of course. This is one of the upgrades we offer as part of our editing services to foster effective collaboration between you and your editor. Please notify us when placing your order if you wish to include this additional service. The call will last up to 30 minutes and you will have ample time to discuss the whole document with your editor.
Are all of your editors from Oxford & Cambridge?
Since 2007, we’ve built a network of more than 800 expert editors across different academic disciplines. Many are Oxford and Cambridge educated, while others come from leading universities across the UK and internationally. Whatever your field, you’ll be matched with a native English-speaking editor who can provide personalised, high-quality feedback on your work.
Are your academic editors using AI?
Absolutely not. AI cannot deliver the personalised feedback, actionable suggestions, or deep subject-specific knowledge that a human editor provides. Every project is handled by an editor in your field from a top UK university, and you can even upgrade to a Zoom call to discuss your work in detail, ask questions, and get direct advice.
Upon completion, what do I receive?
You'll receive a professionally reviewed and edited document within the timeframe you specified at the checkout. The document will be clean, with all modifications clearly visible using the track changes feature to facilitate a smooth review process on your end.
How can I pay for my editing order?
You can securely pay online using any major debit or credit card, Amex, Apple Pay, or a bank transfer (national or international). We work with Stripe, the world's largest payment ledger so your payments are secure with us. If you’d like to spread the cost of your order, we offer interest-free instalments through Klarna or PayPal, as well as bespoke instalment plans arranged directly with us. We also accept major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes we offer flexible instalment options. You can choose PayPal or Klarna to spread payments over time. PayPal allows three instalments for orders between £30 and £2,000, with the first at checkout and the remaining two over the following two months, while Klarna offers interest-free options for projects up to £4,000. If neither is available in your country, or if you’d prefer a different arrangement, our team can create a personalised plan tailored to your needs.
Will my work and my details remain confidential?
Yes. This is one of our guarantees. If you would like to go one step further, please provide us with an NDA and our director will be glad to sign this for you.
Do you accept American Express?
Yes, we accept American Express, as well as all major Visa and Mastercard credit cards, as forms of payment.
