Docs Proofreading
Proofreading for technical documentation: your prose corrected, your markup and build untouched.
What is Docs Proofreading
What you receive
Docs Proofreading corrects the spelling, grammar, and punctuation across your documentation, most often Markdown and AsciiDoc, but whatever format your docs live in. The work happens in your own source, by editors who read the markup. Your structure, code blocks, and build stay exactly as you wrote them.
- Spelling, grammar, and punctuation corrected throughout
- Corrections made directly in your Markdown, AsciiDoc, or source format
- Code blocks, directives, and structure left untouched
- Comments flagging anything unclear
- Tracked changes, or an annotated diff, for you to review
- Clean docs back when we agreed
Who we help
Who docs proofreading is for
Most editors treat your .tex, Markdown, or AsciiDoc as prose to retype. They break a build, a macro, or a code block in the process, costing you more time than the edit ever saved.
What document types is this service suitable for?
Built for Overleaf and LaTeX
How it works with Overleaf.
Our editors work in your source, not a retyped copy. Share your project and get it back compiling, with every change tracked for you to accept.
-
Share your project
Add our editor as a collaborator on your Overleaf project, or upload your .tex file or zipped project at checkout. Either way, we work in your source.
-
Edited in Review mode
Your editor works with tracked changes and margin comments, editing around your commands, environments, and references so the file keeps compiling. Nothing is retyped.
-
Accept and compile
You review each suggestion, accept what you want, and compile as usual. Your finished document arrives by the deadline you chose.
Built for technical work
Technical expertise, not just prose.
Our team has considerable experience with technical formats and toolchains, so your notation, code, and source files arrive intact.
LaTeX & Markdown
We edit directly in LaTeX and Markdown, preserving your syntax, maths, and structure.
Overleaf, GitHub & version control
We work inside Overleaf, GitHub, and other version control systems, fitting into your existing workflow.
Notation-aware editors
Editors who read maths, physics, and code as fluently as prose, so meaning is never lost in translation.

Frequently asked questions
Do you edit directly in my .tex or Markdown source?
Yes. We work in your own source — .tex, Markdown, AsciiDoc, or reStructuredText — by editors who read the markup, not just the prose. You get the corrected source back, with tracked changes or an annotated diff to review.
Will my maths, macros, and code survive untouched?
Yes. We correct the language and leave the machinery alone — equations, custom macros, code blocks, and document structure stay exactly as you wrote them. The build that compiled before our edit compiles after it.
Do you work in Overleaf, GitHub, or our own repo?
We do. We can work in an Overleaf project, a GitHub repository, or wherever your source lives, and fit to your branching and review conventions. Tell us how your team works and we will match it.
What's the difference between proofreading and editing for docs?
Proofreading corrects the surface — spelling, grammar, and punctuation — in your own source. Editing does all of that and then works on clarity, structure, and consistency so the whole document reads cleanly. Either way we work in your Markdown, AsciiDoc, or LaTeX, never a retyped copy.
Which documentation formats do you work in?
Most often Markdown and AsciiDoc, and also LaTeX, reStructuredText, and the docs-as-code formats your toolchain uses. We edit in your own source and return it building exactly as it did before.
Can you typeset my paper to a specific journal template?
Yes. Our LaTeX Typesetting & Formatting service sets your manuscript into the exact class a journal mandates — IEEEtran, APS REVTeX, Springer LNCS, Elsevier, or ACM acmart — with equations, figures, and references laid out to spec, so it submits without a format rejection.
Is my work kept confidential?
Yes. Your source and documentation are seen only by the people working on them, and we never share or publish your work. We are happy to sign an NDA before you send anything.
