Spearheaded by two Oxbridge-educated academic philosophers, we are uniquely positioned to offer rigorous philosophy proofreading, copy-editing, indexing, and translation. Submit with confidence, publish with Lex Academic. lexacademic.com/philosophy-edi…

We have always loved the work being done by the faculty of ETH Zürich and are glad for every opportunity to share our love of philosophical clarity with their staff and postgraduates. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We recently worked with Elisa Prosperetti, historian of modern Africa, on her forthcoming monograph with Cambridge University Press. We are very grateful for Prof. Prosperetti's generous feedback and look forward to her book's publication this summer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reviewer #2 is a meme and at least partly a fiction, but it nevertheless reflects the real dark side of unfair standards, cultures of bitterness, and bullying that within in academia. These problem reviewers are a real phenomenon worthy of investigation. lexacademic.com/blog/whos-afra…

We recently had the pleasure of working with Prof. Elizabeth Macauley on her forthcoming book with Cambridge University Press. An outstanding archaeologist and architectural historian at CUNY, her work explores the rich intersections between antiquity and modernity. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wrote this to encourage students and fellow researchers to remember what they value about skilful writing and engaging reading. I hope you will share it with those who would benefit from a reminder of what we stand to lose by bringing AI into our lives. lexacademic.com/blog/ai-and-th…

Writing on the Lex Academic blog, I reflect on the rise of AI-written content and the profound, uncanny 'ick' of reading work produced by machines.

Reading AI-written content imparts a feeling of mild doom; a sense that nothingness has been malevolently cultivated and mobilized into a terrible force. Few things move with the same marauding, miasmic ick as prose produced by generative AI. lexacademic.com/blog/ai-and-th…

We have been working with Professor Thomas Betteridge over the past few years on a range of terrific publications about medieval and Tudor drama. We look forward to helping Professor Betteridge prepare his Routledge book on Shakespeare later this year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An unexpected benefit of working with @lex_academic is that we believe that helping to achieve your goals means sharing your values, vision, and connecting with you beyond the written word. Our amazing client, Dr Elizabeth Mackintosh, reflects on this aspect of our work.

One side to academic editing and consulting, which we rarely describe, is the overall sense of support we impart to our academic clients over the course of an editing relationship. We are deeply invested in your success and inevitably end up sharing your vision and passion.

We have had the pleasure of working with Dr Yasmin Haddad for many years on her outstanding contributions to the philosophy of biology. It is always a pleasure to receive such positive feedback from leading philosophers like Dr Haddad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
