Prooffix is a proofreading marketplace that saves users time reviewing their writing by connecting them to vetted proofreaders. Prooffix follows in the footsteps of Airbnb and TaskRabbit, companies that embrace modern marketplaces, i.e. businesses that connect buyers and sellers AND have invested interest in their utility. Fixers are all native speakers, handpicked for their advanced grammar, spelling, and communication skills.
What sets Prooffix apart?
1. Dedication to a user-friendly interface
2. Affordability
3. Fast turnaround time
4. Transparency. Users pick their Fixer and can view profiles/user-generated reviews.
Foreign students on F-1 visas increased from 110k in 2001 to 524k in 2012 (Brookings). Prooffix caters to non-native students, as well as native speakers, by proofreading their writing in as little as 3 hours starting at $4.
Proper grammar and spelling for blog content, job application, or cover letter is a big deal, especially for your professional credibility. We tested them out on a few of our blog posts and Prooffix definitely came through in correcting some obvious and not so obvious mistakes we had that we quickly fixed.
