Jossey-Bass Manuscript Editing Services
Jossey-Bass, a Wiley imprint, is the leading publisher for higher education, organizational psychology, and leadership development. Its books are read by faculty, administrators, student affairs professionals, and organizational leaders — audiences that expect both scholarly rigor and the kind of practical clarity that makes research applicable to the decisions they make. A Jossey-Bass manuscript that does not speak to practice has missed half its purpose.
Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Jossey-Bass submissions with attention to the argument clarity, evidence precision, and practical accessibility that Jossey-Bass’s mixed scholarly and practitioner readership requires. Our editors work in APA and Chicago styles and bring experience in higher education, organizational psychology, and leadership — the disciplines at the core of Jossey-Bass’s list.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Jossey-Bass / Wiley. 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 Jossey-Bass / Wiley
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 Jossey-Bass / Wiley. 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 Jossey-Bass / Wiley. 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 Jossey-Bass / Wiley. When the writing is done and the deadline is close, this is the right service.
Jossey-Bass manuscripts often serve both a research audience and a practitioner audience simultaneously — faculty researchers and the deans and administrators who implement the research’s implications. Our editors attend to the accessibility of the scholarly argument for a practitioner reader, ensure the research findings are translated into implications that are clear and actionable, and maintain the scholarly precision a research audience requires. 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.
