We correct spelling and grammar mistakes. Left unfixed, these make you look careless and maybe even incompetent. We all make mistakes, but Safescribe's editors will identify and dispose of yours.

We optimise structure. Just like a t-shirt can be too tight, too baggy, too short or too long for its wearer, a personal statement also needs to fit its content. Is your statement structured in a way which complements your writing and draws the reader's attention to those points that you wish to emphasise most? Do your points follow a logical order? We help make sure this is the case.


We clarify your statement. A successful personal statement needs to be clear...crystal clear! It's difficult to spot unclear elements in your own piece of writing; you may know what you mean but that doesn't guarantee that everybody else does. Don't let your brilliance get lost in hazy writing.

We invigorate sentences where necessary so that your points come across more effectively and persuasively. Delicate rewording helps to provide va-va-voom!

We condense areas where more words are used than necessary, in order to make your points clearer, help you stay within the character limit, and free up space for you to add things later if you so wish.

We spot dangers. Sometimes you write something that you will come to regret. Let us make sure you have nothing to fear.
