Advanced Professional Members – highlighted in blue – have achieved our highest grade of membership. Filter the results to find the right professional editor or proofreader for you by:

If you're looking for a specific term that includes more than one word, you can use capitalised 'AND' between each word, eg type 'religious AND studies' if you are searching for someone who works on religious studies text or books.
