About Us
We are a family-run business of academic proof-readers and editors, applying our own academic and professional experience to your scholarly needs
Our Approach
We offer adaptable proofreading services bespoke to each client and their requirements. For a decade, our flexible approach to proofreading academic texts has ensured a personalised service for each customer, whether they are writing a journal article or a thesis. From the initial enquiry to the finished product, we are a friendly family-run service dedicated to your academic success.
Our approach is based upon our own academic experience, passion for plain English, and keen eye for detail. We do not use AI, nor do we use referencing software. Instead, Fox Proofreading offers the nuanced and professional service only humans can provide. Come and talk to us!
