You can absolutely pay someone to proofread your paper! In fact, there are a number ofProofreadingServices.com that offer professional proofreading services.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when looking for a proofreader:
- Make sure the proofreader has experience editing academic papers.
- Check to see if the proofreader offers a free sample edit.
- Ask the proofreader for a list of references from past clients.
If you're not sure where to start, I recommend checking out Scribendi or ProofreadingServices.com.
