Specialist Subject Areas

While our editorial prowess spans the humanities, law, and the social sciences, we have particular strengths in certain core fields. We therefore offer specialist proofreading and editing services in some very specific areas to reflect our unique knowledge base and unmatched experience with disciplinary norms.

Law and Legal Proofreading

Whether you're a scholar chasing a book contract, a solicitor eyeing partnership, or an early-career lawyer breaking into print, your writing deserves a specialist. Lex Academic's 100-plus rigorously tested legal editors understand jurisprudence and legal frameworks, and get every footnote right in both OSCOLA and Bluebook. Our clients win contracts with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Routledge, and Bloomsbury, and grants from the European Research Council and the British Academy. Every manuscript is anonymised and entirely discreet, so even the busiest practitioner can build a published profile that signals the rigour firms reward with partnership.

Anthropology Proofreading Services

We understand the nature of writing in anthropology and always try to hone the balance between honouring an academic's particular style and voice (which is so central to the narrative virtues of anthropological and ethnographic discourse) and editing for rigour, scholarliness, clarity, and originality.

Philosophy Proofreading Services

Thanks to being spearheaded by two Oxbridge-educated academic philosophers, Lex Academic is uniquely positioned in offered rigorous philosophy proofreading, copy-editing, indexing, and translation.

Classics Proofreading Services

Lex Academic is uniquely positioned to offer rigorous classics proofreading, copy-editing, indexing, and translation. We have guided academic classicists through every stage of the publishing process, from PhD theses and academic book proposals to papers now published in top-tier classics journals.

Art History Proofreading Services

Whether you are working on the depiction of witchcraft in Northern Renaissance art, Michelangelo's architecture of faith, the role of imitation in Roman visual culture, Renaissance sculpture, early Greek art, or the history of architecture, your work will be in the hands of expert proofreaders.

Design Studies Proofreading

Our proofreaders and editors know their Bauhaus from their Frank Lloyd Wright and can follow an argument from material culture to critical theory. The result is scholarship that reads as confidently as it was conceived: clear, rigorous, and unmistakably yours.
