Order Manuscript Editing ASCD is the leading professional learning organization for educators worldwide, and its publications — books, guides, and professional development resources — are read by classroom teachers, curriculum directors, and school administrators who need both the research foundation and the practical guidance to improve student learning. An ASCD manuscript that is rigorous but inaccessible to a practicing educator has not done its job.

Our editors work in APA style and bring extensive experience in education, curriculum, and instructional leadership writing — attending to the argument structure, evidence clarity, and prose accessibility that ASCD’s educator audience demands.

Manuscript Editing Services for ASCD

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.

Manuscript Copy Editing

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 ASCD. We apply APA throughout.

Manuscript Line Editing

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 ASCD. The manuscript you receive is complete at every level.

Manuscript Proofreading

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 ASCD. When the writing is done and the deadline is close, this is the right service.

Research and Practice Writing for ASCD

ASCD manuscripts are expected to translate educational research into practice-ready guidance without sacrificing the evidence base that gives the guidance its authority. Our editors attend to the clarity of the research-to-practice translation, ensure the argument is organized for a practitioner reader, and apply APA style throughout.
