Elsevier Press Manuscript Editing Services
Elsevier is the world’s largest academic publisher, with a book program spanning medicine, nursing, public health, and the social sciences. Its manuscripts reach practitioners, researchers, and students on every continent — which means a manuscript submitted to Elsevier carries a responsibility for accuracy and clarity that extends far beyond the academic context in which it is written.
Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Elsevier book submissions with attention to the clinical precision, citation accuracy, and argument clarity that Elsevier’s editorial review demands. Our editors apply APA or Vancouver style as your subject area requires and are experienced across the health sciences and social sciences that form the core of Elsevier’s book program.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Elsevier. 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 Elsevier
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 Elsevier. We apply APA and Vancouver 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 Elsevier. 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 Elsevier. When the writing is done and the deadline is close, this is the right service.
Elsevier’s book program operates across multiple imprints and series with specific house guidelines. Our editors apply the guidelines for your specific series and subject area. For manuscripts under developmental contract, we coordinate with any developmental notes you have received and ensure our editorial revisions are consistent with the developmental plan. Include any author guidelines with your manuscript. 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.
