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
