Harvard Education Press Manuscript Editing Services
Harvard Education Press publishes books on education policy, school leadership, and educational equity expected to inform practice as well as advance scholarship. Its acquisitions editors are looking for manuscripts that make a clear argument, draw on strong evidence, and are written with enough clarity to be read by the superintendents, principals, and policymakers who constitute a significant part of HEP’s readership.
Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Harvard Education Press submissions with attention to the argument clarity, evidence quality, and prose accessibility that HEP’s mixed scholarly and practitioner readership requires. Our editors work in Chicago style and bring extensive experience in education policy and leadership writing.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Harvard Education Press. 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 Harvard Education 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 Harvard Education 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 Harvard Education 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 Harvard Education Press. When the writing is done and the deadline is close, this is the right service.
Harvard Education Press manuscripts are often read by senior educational leaders as well as researchers. Our editors attend to the clarity of the policy argument for a non-academic reader, ensure research evidence is presented in a way that is both rigorous and actionable, and edit for the direct, confident prose that a leadership audience expects. 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.
