The Proofreading Agency


Managed proofreading and copy-editing services based in the UK

The Proofreading Agency is based in the UK and offers managed proofreading and copy-editing services. We also provide specialist typesetting and formatting services in Microsoft Word.

Our largest client is ZigZag Education, an academic publisher. The Proofreading Agency has full responsibility for ZigZag’s proofreading/copy-editing and formatting work.

Our services are managed, which means that your work will not only be proofread by one of our approved specialists but also managed by Allison McFarland, our Proofreading Manager. Allison carries out a check on all completed proofreading to ensure that the work has been carried out to the highest standard.
