Professional essay editor: about our proofreading

Some frequent questions we get asked: 

Will proofreading boost my marks?

Yes, proofreading may help to improve your marks by up to 10%. This is because you can lose marks for poor layout, grammar and punctuation

Is it ethical/allowed/legal to get my essay proofread?

Yes, the majority of UK universities allow proofreading. Please consult your institution’s guidelines for further clarification. 

Why shouldn’t I just use AI to check my work? 

Using AI is risky. It is best avoided as it frequently triggers high similarity scores and you could fail due to plagiarism. Furthermore, AI doesn’t always make correct suggestions.

What our customers say

Excellent journal article editing

Much more affordable than other companies. I sent my article on Friday afternoon and thought I’d get my work back after two business days. So I was surprised to get my proofread document back by the Monday. My writing now reads more fluently. I highly recommend this proofreading service. Mohamed, Indonesia

The best proofreading services

I’m absolutely delighted with the proofreading of my PhD thesis. The attention to detail, clear suggestions, and care taken with academic tone and flow were outstanding. Every chapter read cleaner and more coherent, with inconsistencies, minor errors, and awkward phrasing expertly resolved while preserving my voice. Turnaround was prompt, communication was professional, and the feedback was precise and actionable.  Charlotte, UK

Very satisfied

This is my second time using London Proofreaders; they have done an amazing job yet again. Several mistakes which were initially overlooked by me were pointed out through the service. Anushka, UK

Affordable scientific editing 

Needed my manuscript refined in time for the Christmas deadline, so I opted for the expedited service. London Proofreaders delivered the improved version within just three days—impressive speed!

What stood out was the thoroughness of their work. The proofreader genuinely engaged with my manuscript, understood the context, and provided insightful recommendations that enhanced clarity and readability. Their attention to detail made a real difference.

Highly satisfied with the experience—I’ll definitely be returning for my next project! Amanti, Malaysia
