There are no catches. We're just efficient, and we don't wish to financially exploit students in their time of need. We set our prices at a level which allows our services to be accessible and sustainable, and lets us reward our employees fairly for their EXTREMELY hard work and dedication. Our running costs are kept low partly by an economical operational model that is also environmentally friendly.

Absolutely not. Our service has been carefully designed with due regard to our and your ethical obligations. Our remit is purely editorial, not creative. The help you receive is along similar lines to the type of help a teacher might reasonably provide. However, since we treat each and every one of you as an extremely valuable client, we will dedicate far more time and effort to your personal statement than a teacher would. Therefore, our service will boost your chances legitimately. See our ethics for more.

No. This is not what we are about.

Some companies will offer to write your personal statement for you from scratch. We at Safescribe feel that this is not only highly unethical, but genuinely counterproductive. A 'personal' statement should be exactly that. When somebody else writes your statement for you, it is no longer personal, and you can't truly capitalise on that flare of individuality that shines through with a self-written statement. Furthermore, whether subconsciously or consciously, the writer you employ may transfer ideas from somebody else's statement to yours and vice versa, leaving you open to accusations of plagiarism. Universities are stricter than ever with regards to plagiarism, and falling into this trap can destroy your chances completely. At Safescribe, we simply take your statement, find that flare, and make it burn brighter, allowing the 'true you' to gleam through.

As the cliché goes, there is always room for improvement. Our eagle-eyed editors spot these areas of weakness day in, day out, and fix them for you. If, however, your work is so good that it barely needs any editing at all, we will advise you of this and provide a full refund. So essentially, you can submit your work to us just for peace of mind, and you won't be charged if there are no real issues.

Safescribe's team of editors is comprised of a range of talented individuals from lots of different backgrounds, all educated to university level and beyond, with extensive editorial experience. We are extremely fussy in our recruitment process. We don't recruit editors just on the strength of their CV; we insist on interviews, job references, character references, and investigate the quality of previous work. We also look for strong people skills. This latter point may seem unusual for editorial work, but we believe that a large part of bringing a client's written work to life is the ability to understand and empathise with the needs of the client.

If you're unhappy, we're unhappy. It's that simple! That's why at Safescribe, we have an obsession with getting it right first time. Our editors will spend as much time as necessary on your work until the job is done to an exceptionally high standard. Mediocrity is not something we can countenance. However, it is impossible to guarantee perfection, especially due to the highly subjective nature of the work. Whilst we do not offer refunds as routine, we take customer dissatisfaction very seriously. If you are unhappy, you should contact our customer services team. In the unlikely event that we deem that our work has fallen below the exacting standards we expect, we will redo the work at no extra cost. In extreme cases, we will consider a discretionary refund.
