American Psychological Association Books Manuscript Editing Services
APA Books is the book publishing program of the American Psychological Association — the organization that publishes the style manual by which psychology manuscripts are measured worldwide. A manuscript submitted to APA Books is reviewed by editors who apply the APA Publication Manual with the precision of those who wrote it. The standard is not approximate.
Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for APA Books with precise application of APA 7th edition throughout — citations, references, headings, statistical reporting, bias-free language, and the full range of the Manual’s requirements. Our editors are experienced in psychology, mental health, counseling, and education writing and bring the same attention to APA precision that APA’s own editorial review demands.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to American Psychological Association Books. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.
Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.
Manuscript Editing Services for American Psychological Association Books
We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.
Our copy editing service corrects grammar, punctuation, spelling, citation formatting, and usage throughout your manuscript. Includes a final proofreading pass. Recommended for authors whose argument and structure are solid and who need a meticulous surface review before submitting to American Psychological Association Books. We apply APA 7th edition throughout.
Our line editing service addresses grammar, syntax, structural coherence, style, and voice — and includes a full copy editing and proofreading pass. Recommended for authors who want sentence-level revision, passive voice reduction, or substantive EFL/ESL correction for a manuscript targeting American Psychological Association Books. The manuscript you receive is complete at every level.
Our proofreading service provides a final review for spelling, punctuation, and typographic errors — for manuscripts that have already been edited and need only a last human pass before submission to American Psychological Association Books. When the writing is done and the deadline is close, this is the right service.
APA Books manuscripts are reviewed by editors who know the Publication Manual thoroughly. Our editors apply every dimension of APA 7th edition — not only citations and references but statistical reporting conventions, bias-free language guidelines, heading hierarchy, and table and figure formatting. If there are series-specific guidelines from your acquisitions editor, include them and we will apply them in addition to the Manual’s requirements. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.
