Even the Best Writers Need Expert Proofreading

You’ve read your document over and over, and yet you always spot one mistake right before hitting ‘submit’. Sound familiar? When you’re deep in your own writing, it’s easy to overlook small but significant mistakes. Thanks to our expert proofreading services you will be able to catch inconsistencies, and ensure that your ideas are presented clearly—without changing your voice.

Editors Who Understand Your Work

Since 2006, we’ve built a trusted network of highly skilled, native English-speaking editors from the top universities in the UK. Not occasional freelancers, but expert professionals, rigorously vetted through our selection process. This translates into precise, personalised and context-aware edits that strengthen your work while preserving its meaning. Great proofreading requires human expertise, not quick and simplistic fixes delivered by AI tools.

Proofreading That Feels Personal

Following grammar conventions doesn’t mean everyone’s writing should sound the same. With us, you’re not just another order in the pipeline to fulfil. We take the time to understand your needs, tailoring our proofreading to your unique subject and style. You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate directly with your dedicated proofreader by upgrading to a consultation call via Zoom, and we offer free revisions for 10 days—all to ensure your document is exactly how you want it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What proofreading services do you offer?

Our standard proofreading service is designed to eliminate all spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, leaving your work polished and error-free. However, if your essay or dissertation requires more in-depth attention, such as enhancing its structure, argument, and flow, you can opt for our stylistic editing or academic editing services. Want to see the difference? You can view examples of our editing services to find the best fit for your work.

Can I speak with the proofreader working on my document?

Absolutely. We encourage you to upgrade your order to include direct contact with your editor via Zoom call. This allows you to ask questions, discuss edits in real time, and share your input for a fully personalised proofreading experience. You'll have the chance to actively collaborate and ensure that your work aligns with your needs.

What are your turnaround times?

Every proofreading job is different, so we like to let our customers dictate their own deadlines. When placing your order, simply choose the deadline that works best for you. As a general guideline, our proofreaders typically handle up to 5,000 words per day. For our stylistic or academic editing services, please expect a slightly longer turnaround time.

Are you just using low-quality AI tools to proofread my work?

Absolutely not. We do not rely on AI tools for editing and proofreading. While AI may seem like a quick solution, it lacks the ability to understand the complexities and nuances of academic writing. All documents are edited by our qualified editors who bring years of experience to ensure that your work is polished and coherent. They have a thorough understanding of your subject and provide relevant, contextualised suggestions that AI could never be able to match.

How can I pay for my order?

We offer a variety of payment options to make things as simple and convenient as possible. You can securely pay online with any major debit or credit card, Apple Pay or opt for a bank transfer, both national and international. If you prefer to spread the cost, we partner with Klarna and PayPal for interest-free instalments or offer bespoke instalment plans directly through us. Additionally, we accept major cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Are your proofreading services confidential?

Yes, our proofreading service is completely confidential. Your personal information and the details of your work are securely protected. From the moment you submit your work, we ensure that all information remains private, including keeping your identity separate from the editor working on your document. Furthermore, your work will be securely delivered via our 256-bit encrypted customer portal where you will be able to manage your orders, request alterations, and communicate privately with our team.
