Emerald Publishing Manuscript Editing Services
Emerald Publishing is an international academic publisher with a book program spanning business, management, education, and the social sciences. Its manuscripts are reviewed by an international peer community — which means the prose must be clear across national and disciplinary contexts, and the citations must be consistent with the conventions of the field and imprint.
Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Emerald Publishing with attention to the argument clarity, international accessibility, and citation consistency that Emerald’s peer review demands. Our editors work in APA and Chicago styles and are experienced in business, management, education, and social science writing — the disciplines that form the core of Emerald’s book program.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Emerald Publishing. 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 Emerald Publishing
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 Emerald Publishing. We apply APA and Chicago 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 Emerald Publishing. 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 Emerald Publishing. When the writing is done and the deadline is close, this is the right service.
Emerald Publishing serves an international scholarly community, and its manuscripts are reviewed by scholars from multiple national and disciplinary contexts. Our editors flag passages where cultural or institutional references need brief explanation for an international reader, ensure citation formatting meets Emerald’s requirements for your specific series, and apply the house style guidelines your acquisitions editor has provided. 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.
