Applying for reimbursement but can't find your receipt from a past Preferred Editing purchase? Now you can resend the receipts from prior Preferred Editing purchases by selecting 'Resend PE Receipt' from the dropdown menu next to your article on your dashboard.

If you've recently had an article deferred for Preferred Editing, you might have noticed that we've tweaked our PE pricing model. In order to more accurately assess the work required for your articles, we've reduced the size of the word count tiers to only 1,000 words each (except for the very first tier which goes up to 1,500).

As a result you will see articles priced both lower and higher than before based on the word count. Fine-tuning our Preferred Editing pricing model is a never-ending project to ensure that prices fairly reflect the time and attention to detail required by our dedicated team of copy editors while also remaining affordable and fair to you.
