“PaperTrue - A Nightmare for Authors!”

Elizabeth S.
8/5/24

I'm an author who recently used PaperTrue for typesetting my book. It was a complete disaster. Missed Deadlines: They were weeks behind schedule, with no clear communication or updates. Incompetence: They ignored my detailed formatting instructions and made countless errors. Unprofessionalism: They were unresponsive to my concerns and offered no solutions. Data Concerns: They even hinted at using my book for AI training without my permission! I've wasted valuable time and money, and my book launch is delayed. Avoid PaperTrue at all costs! They clearly don't care about their clients or the quality of their work.

Dear Elizabeth,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value all input from our clients, as it helps us continually improve our services. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your recent experience with us did not meet your
Expectations.

Regarding your concerns, we would like to address them point by point:

Initial Satisfaction: We are pleased that you were satisfied with our editing service back in May.

Typesetting and Design Services: We delivered the initial Typeset file on 22nd July, along with the Cover Design, ISBN, and Copyright page, all within the agreed timeline. These files were prepared based on the instructions provided and were delivered on time.

Revised Typeset File: On 1st August, after receiving feedback from your readers, you sent us an updated Word file. This required a complete rework of the document, which we promptly completed and sent to you by 2nd August. We regret that this revision did not align with your requirements. We asked for clarification on your requirements to ensure we could accurately reflect your vision. However, we received unclear instructions, which made it challenging to meet your specific needs.

Efforts to Resolve the Issue: We scheduled a meeting with you to discuss your requirements in more detail. Unfortunately, during the meeting, it remained difficult to get precise information from you regarding the changes you desired.

Final Revision: On 5th August, we sent you an updated file based on our understanding of your requirements. As it still did not align with your requirements, we offered a free revision to address any remaining concerns. We also attempted to reach out via our support email to ensure we could resolve this issue to your satisfaction.

We understand that publishing a book is a significant and personal endeavor, and we regret that it did not meet your expectations. However, we stand by the efforts we made to work closely with you and to interpret your instructions as accurately as possible.

Our team will be happy to resolve any issues you might have. Feel free to reach out for further information or discussion.

Best regards,
Team PaperTrue

Paper T. – PaperTrue Rep

Hello,
Thank you for your review.

Our editors did their best to edit your document perfectly. We even gave you a free revision as you were dissatisfied with our services.

While you clarified that the issue was related to the journal’s feedback about a “dichotomous variable” in Module 3, there were insufficient details given for us to address. This issue was more related to the research methodology used. Later, we also provided another paid revision after 30 days, after which you didn’t communicate any other concerns.

Our users are always free to post any review on this open platform. We feel that we made a sincere effort to implement your feedback. We hope all your issues have been resolved and wish you all the very best on your academic journey.

Apparently, PaperTrue offers services at relatively lower price, compared to those of others. The overall qualities of my recent edited manuscript are acceptable. But their customer service is good. I requested a change of the delivery date, and everything was easier than what I expected.

There are a number of errors made by an English editor. It seems to me that there are two editors editing my manuscript. One of them incorrectly edited the reference list. However, as the price is relatively low comparing to other English-editing services, this is acceptable [at this price].

I had a final paper that I wanted to make sure sounded good with little grammar errors and needed it in apa 7 format. I needed it back within 24 hours. The payment process was pretty easy. Uploading the paper and getting a quote was easy as well. I received my paper early which was awesome. I had two papers sent to me one with the errors written out so I could see what they changed and the other paper was the other paper was the final draft with all corrections added. My issue with this service is that they did not use apa 7 format in the paper. Before you submit your paper you can tell them what you want done to your paper. I told them that I needed my paper apa 7 edition format, they used an out dated edition, so I had to do the formatting myself, which was one of the reasons I paid for this service.

Papertrue has a user friendly website that allows me to quickly & easily submit my manuscript, one chapter at a time, as I can afford to do so.). When I stipulated that I need an editor with Biblical knowledge who is skilled in editing end-rhyme poetry with a specific syllable count per line, they found the perfect editor, Debrah Tyler. And, as per my request, they send each chapter to that same editor (to assure consistency). I am completely satisfied.

It is important for me to have an editor who is skilled in editing narrative poetry, and whose Biblical knowledge is a step above. Paper True found the perfect editor for me.
Since I can't afford to edit my entire manuscript, 135K words, at once, it is wonderful that I can send just one chapter at a time. MY editor(s), Debrah Tyler (and Selena), are great. They make necessary corrections, and they provide me with thought provoking suggestions that have enhanced my writing tremendously. I am so happy to have found Paper True.

1. PaperTrue claims that it is incorrect to say "the investor invests her assets". Instead, "the investor invests their assets" is grammarly correct.
2. PaperTrue claims that they issued a refund. This is not true. After a long series of emails communication, PaperTrue finally agrees to refund 15% of my money, on the condition that I remove all negative online comments about them.
Stay away from PaperTrue. This is a company located in Singapore. The editors may not be native speakers! I guess this is how they make money: send you low-quality service, and refund 15% if you complain. They will keep the 85%!

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from PaperTrue!

Hi, Joe.

As we have clarified before, it is grammatically correct to use "they" as a singular pronoun. If you'd like to know more about this topic, read these articles from the Oxford English Dictionary(https://public.oed.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-singular-they/) and the APA Style Blog(Welcome, singular “they”).

Our representative got in touch with you about the refund, but we did not receive any reply from you.

As we have also clarified before, we hire trained, experienced editors from all over the world. They keep themselves updated on all the latest developments in grammar and vocabulary, delivering the quality edits that our customers love.

We urge you to stop spreading misinformation and communicate your grievances to us directly.

Best,
Team PaperTrue.

I placed an order after trying their free sample. However, the one who edited the full article is not the one who worked on the free sample. And the full article is edited in a very careless way. She only did minor changes, and she kept changing my words in a very inconsistent way. For example, I wrote "the investor only invests up to 10% of her total capital...". She kept changing "her" to "their". Even I knew that "investor" and "their" are inconsistent! The editor kept changing "her" to "their" in several places. I do not think my draft is "revised" after their service. There is a reason that I paid extra money to get a faster service. However, I have to wait for another 24 hours to hear from their editing team. That doesn't mean they will revise it in 24 hours. That just means that they will respond to my request. I am very unhappy with PaperTrue.

To follow up: the editing team insists that they did a great job. Even though the editor change "her" to "their" in eight places. They insist that their work is correct because they have a lot of "good reviews" online. Does it mean that you can do whatever you want when you have a lot of good reviews? After several rounds of email communication, they agree to offer 15% refund. I guess that is how you make money: did a $#*!ty job, and steal 85% of the payment.

To follow up: I was trying to dispute through my bank, and I found that the charge goes to Singapore. Now I know why my draft is done in such a poor way: it might not be even be edited by a native speaker!

To follow up after I read PaperTrue's response:
1. PaperTrue claims that it is incorrect to say "the investor invests her assets". Instead, "the investor invests their assets" is grammarly correct.
2. PaperTrue claims that they issued a refund. This is not true. After a long series of emails communication, PaperTrue finally agrees to refund 15% of my money, on the condition that I remove all negative online comments about them.
Stay away from PaperTrue. I guess this is how they make money: send you low-quality service, and refund 15% if you complain. They will keep the 85%!

Tip for consumers:
Do not trust their free sample. Your draft will be edited by a different person. And the quality is not guaranteed at all.

I am applying for medical school and working full-time. There are so many essays involve in applying to 22 school.

This website is a blessing. With my schedule, I can spend a night or two writing essays and in 24 hours or less. It will be edited. They do grammar, syntax, punctuation, but I was really impress on how they capture my thoughts and improved the vocabulary of my paper.

I even used them to edit my experience sections, short answers questions and essays for the application. Most important, I get quality work at decent prices. I wish I knew about them in college. Please take advantage of their services.

It is very effective and of great value.

I am giving it a recommendation for academic students. Thanks a lot for the help.

I wanted help with APA references and making sure my in-text citations were right. The editor was straightforward on the modifications that needed to be made and directly assisted me in the areas where I required extra assistance. This is a service I will use again. I really liked paying a single charge for the editing process rather than a variety of add-on fees as for other providers.
