Find an editor
Use Editors Portal to browse professional proofreaders, editors and specialist document experts by category, service and specialism. This page is designed for clients who know they need help with a document but may not yet know whether they need proofreading, copyediting, academic editing, book editing, business editing or another type of support.
Search by the kind of support you need
A good editor is not simply someone who is “good with words”. Different editors specialise in different types of documents, audiences and levels of intervention. Some focus on final proofreading. Some work deeply with academic writing. Others edit manuscripts, business reports, application documents, technical text or AI-generated copy.
The Editors Portal directory is structured so clients can begin with a practical question: what kind of document do you need reviewed, and what do you want improved? Once you know that, you can browse relevant categories and compare profiles more confidently.

What to look for in an editor profile
- Relevant document experience: check whether the editor regularly works with your type of document.
- Service level: proofreading, copyediting, line editing and structural editing are not the same.
- Subject or sector knowledge: important for academic, technical, medical, legal and specialist material.
- English variant: UK, US, Australian or international English may matter depending on your audience.
- Availability and turnaround: especially important if your deadline is fixed.
- Profile clarity: a strong editor profile should explain services plainly and set expectations.
