On Twitter alone,
6,000 Tweets are uploaded every second, which amounts to around 500 million
each day. With this in mind, it is clear that billions of words are written every
day for various purposes,which is one way to account for the incredible
increase in demand for rewriting services and proofreading services in all
areas of business, academia, and daily life. With all these words being written
and all the professional writing services being ordered on a minutely, hourly,
and daily basis, you might be wondering: “What exactly are proofreading
services and rewriting services, and why are they so popular?”

Why are proofreading and rewriting such bright
ideas?
What is
rewriting?
Rewriting
services, which are commonly referred to by the name of“paraphrasing” services,
aim to express the meaning of a piece of text (e.g., a phrase, a sentence, a
paragraph, or even something as large as a book) using different words.
As such, to
order a service of this kind, all a customer needs to do is find the text they
would like paraphrased, send this to a talented and reliable paraphraser, and –
before the agreed upon deadline – an entirely new document, with exactly the
same meaning as the original, will be returned.
What is
proofreading?
In proofreading
services, the idea is to correct every grammar, spelling, and punctuation error
in a document, including pesky and hard-to-spot mistakes. Some proofreaders may
focus on issues such as style, tone, and even structure, but in most cases, these
more comprehensive issues fall under the banner of “editing” services.
Like services
that focus on rewriting a document or a piece of text, it is extremely easy to hire
a proofreader to improve your written work. For example, in this day and age, the
Internet has become extremely prominent, and by using an Internet-enabled
device, you can upload your document on a service provider’s website and,
within the agreed timeframe, receive back an improved version.
Proofreading
or rewriting?
The question of
which service to choose depends on your needs. Based on the service
descriptions above, one service may jump out at you as the one that will
address your current requirements.
Generally, you
are likely to want proofreading services if plagiarism is not an issue in your
document. Instead of resolving plagiarism concerns, the typical user of a
proofreader’s services is someone who has brought their document to a finished
state (i.e., they have produced the final draft). At this point, a proofreader’s
efforts are vital in providing a professional polish to the manuscript before
it is published, submitted, or used in any other way.
As for rewritingservices, there are two major use cases: firstly, you may have plagiarised
another author’s work in your document, in which case the professional who
rewrites your document will be able to ensure that this is not detected (i.e.,
by expressing the same meaning using different words, sentence constructions,
and large-scale structures); or secondly, you may want to get a clearer
understanding of something another author has written, in which case you might
find it valuable to read the paraphraser’s expression of the same ideas and
arguments using different, often more concise and clear, language.
Finally, it is
worth noting that both of these services can be used together in the same
document. For example, if certain parts of the document contain quotes from
other authors (as in the image below), these can be paraphrased. By contrast, the
original material can be checked for basic errors with proofreading.
