Manuscript Editing Services for Carolina Academic Press
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 Carolina Academic Press. We apply Chicago Manual of Style 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 Carolina Academic Press. 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 Carolina Academic Press. When the writing is done and the deadline is close, this is the right service.
Carolina Academic Press manuscripts often integrate legal analysis, policy argument, and social science evidence — requiring an editor who can attend to the specific citation and argument conventions of each register. Our editors apply Chicago style throughout, attend to the consistency of legal citation where it appears alongside scholarly citation, and flag passages where the argument’s legal or policy implications need more explicit development. 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.
