Google, Facebook, and Yelp reviews are written by account holders on those sites. Editor World can reply to them but can't edit or remove them.

How Are Editor World Reviews Collected?

Editor World collects platform reviews after each order. When an editor uploads the finished document, the client downloads it from the Documents section of the Client Console. The client can then rate the editor and write a review.

Because each rating follows a completed order, it reflects a real document and a real editor. Ratings stay with the editor, so each profile builds its own record over time. Of 7,755 written reviews on the platform, 7,474 give five stars, about 96%. Another 114 give four stars, and 167 give three stars or fewer.

Public review sites work differently. Anyone with an account can post, and the review appears under Editor World as a company rather than under one editor.

What Do Clients Mention Most in Editor World Reviews?

The most common theme is returning to the same editor, which appears in about one in four positive reviews. Clients also mention comments that explain each change, work returned early, and editors who understood their field. Authors and writers whose first language isn't English often say their editor kept their voice.

Several reviews also describe the choice itself: reading profiles, messaging editors, and picking one before ordering.

"Not only did I find enough positive testimonials to take a chance on using them, but now, after using their service myself, I am pleased to submit an enormously positive review. Their work was at the right price, it was right on time, and it was extremely high quality. My editor displayed the knowledge and understanding of a real pro."

How Do You Use Reviews to Choose an Editor?

Reviews are most useful when you read them on an individual editor's profile. Clients choose their own editor on Editor World, so these steps help you compare editors:

Start with the field. Filter the editor profiles by specialty, such as dissertations, journal articles, fiction, or business writing.
Read reviews from similar clients. Look for reviews from clients with your document type, length, and deadline. A strong review of a novel edit says little about APA formatting.
Check the numbers behind the rating. Compare the average rating with the number of reviews and pages edited. Many ratings over many orders tell you more than a few perfect scores.
Look for specific praise. Reviews that name what the editor did, such as comments on structure or catching citation errors, show how that editor works.
Message the editor. Ask about experience with your field, your style guide, and your deadline. The reply shows how the editor communicates.
Ask for a sample edit. Most editors offer a free sample edit of your first 300 words, with no cost or commitment. Compare the sample with what reviewers described.

What Happens If a Client Isn't Satisfied?

A satisfaction policy matters as much as the reviews themselves. Most concerns are settled by messaging the editor, who can revise the document or explain a change.

Editor World has a 14-day satisfaction policy. If a concern can't be settled with your editor, contact Editor World within 14 days of delivery. The team reviews the situation with the editor before issuing any refund.

Before ordering, you can read how the ordering process works and how documents are kept confidential.

What Makes Editor World Reviews Consistent?

Steady ratings over 16 years come from a few parts of how the service works:

Clients choose their editor. Clients pick an editor from profiles that show subject areas, credentials, and ratings.
100% human editing. Native English editors from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada edit every document, with no AI at any stage.
Selective editor panel. Less than 5% of applicants are accepted, and editors average 15 years of experience.

Woman-Founded. Purpose-Driven. People First.

Editor World was founded in 2010 by Patti Fisher, a graduate of The Ohio State University, after seeing firsthand the need for high-quality, personalized editing support for writers at every level. Every client who submits a document at Editor World connects directly with a real editor, receives a personal response, and is treated as an individual rather than a transaction. That is the mission Editor World has maintained for 16 years, and it is reflected in every review we receive.

Clients have had more than 145 million words edited by native English editors from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Where can I find Editor World reviews?

You can read Editor World reviews on Google, Facebook, and Yelp, and see the BBB accreditation on the BBB profile. Each editor profile on Editor World also shows ratings and written reviews from verified clients. The testimonials page collects client quotes by document type.

Are Editor World reviews verified?

Platform ratings come from clients after a completed order, so each one is tied to a real document and a real editor. Google, Facebook, and Yelp reviews are posted by account holders on those sites, and Editor World cannot edit or remove them. Quotes on Editor World pages are lightly edited for typos only.

Why is there no BBB star rating?

BBB customer reviews expire after a set period, so the star rating on a BBB profile changes over time. The lasting signal is accreditation. Editor World has been BBB accredited with an A+ rating since 2010, and the BBB profile shows its current status.

What do reviews of an editing service usually tell you?

Good reviews describe the document, the deadline, and what the editor changed. They show whether an editor works on grammar only or also comments on structure and argument. Reviews also show whether work came back on time and whether the client returned for later documents.

How many reviews should an editor have before I choose them?

There is no fixed number. A long record of ratings across many orders is a strong signal. A newer editor with a few detailed reviews in your field can be a good fit too. Read what reviewers say, check pages edited, and ask for a sample edit before deciding.

What if I am not happy with my edit?

Message your editor first, since most issues are fixed with a quick revision. Editor World has a 14-day satisfaction policy. If a concern cannot be settled with your editor, contact Editor World within 14 days of delivery. The team reviews the situation with the editor before issuing any refund.

Can I leave a review after my order?
