“I needed to have a paper proofread that was going to be published. Because English is not my native language, I was unsure about the text’s linguistic quality. I’m all the more grateful that B. & K. from Scribbr took care of my request very professionally, thoughtfully, and above all, quickly. It couldn’t have gone better!” – Liz
