We’ve been where you are.

Built by editors who spent years on both sides of the process——writing under pressure and learning the hard way what good editing can do for a piece of work.

Our Story

Proofolio was built by a team of editors and researchers who have spent years on both sides of the editing process——writing under pressure, submitting to tight deadlines, and learning the hard way what good editing can (and can't) do for a piece of work.

That experience shaped everything about how we work. We're not a platform. We're not a factory. We're a small team of experienced editors who care about the work we take on.

When you send us your document, a real person reads it. When we send it back, the notes you receive are written for you specifically——not copied from a template. Over the years, we've edited work for top researchers, organisations, and journals.

Our values

Editing can feel exposing. We aim to be the kind of collaborator you'd want——honest, encouraging, and clear. Not a red pen wielded from on high.

We take on work we can do well. That means we're selective about capacity, and it means you never get a rushed edit.

Our quotes are clear, our timelines are realistic, and our feedback is written in plain English. No surprises, no editorial speak.
