Why Amigo for Proofreading & editing
A distinct service, chosen deliberately.
We agree upfront whether you need a light proofread or a fuller edit, so you’re not paying for translation-level work you don’t need — or getting less attention than the piece deserves.
Your voice, sharpened, not replaced.
Edits are tracked and explained, not silently rewritten, so the result still sounds like you, just clearer.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need translation, editing, or proofreading?
If your text isn’t yet in the language you need, that’s translation. If it’s in the right language but needs restructuring or a clarity pass, that’s editing. If it’s finished and just needs a final error check, that’s proofreading. Not sure — send it over and we’ll tell you honestly which one fits.
Will editing make my writing stop sounding like me?
No — changes are tracked, not silently rewritten, and the aim is to sharpen your own sentences, not replace them with ours.
What’s the difference between your proofreading and editing packages?
Proofreading is a final check — grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency. Editing goes further: structure, flow, and clarity, while keeping your voice. We agree which one fits before starting.
Can you proofread or edit Estonian text, not just English?
Yes — both languages, by a native-level editor in that language.
Do you proofread academic writing?
Yes — theses, essays, and academic writing are a regular part of this service; formatting and citation style are left as you set them, unless you ask us to check that too.
