Reason 2
Secure and confidential
Our service is both secure and confidential. Only the editing manager and the assigned editor will access your file(s). All of our team members have signed NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) and confidentially agreements that detail strict procedures for handling client files securely.
Our website is protected by DigiCert 256-bit encryption to secure our data.
Our system automatically deletes all copies of client files 21 days after we have returned the proofread and edited versions. We can delete files earlier upon request.
Reason 3

subject-matter experts in most instances. We believe there is no substitute for subject-matter expertise.
