NASW Press Manuscript Editing Services
NASW Press is the publishing program of the National Association of Social Workers — the professional body that sets the ethical and practice standards for social work in the United States. Its publications carry the authority of the profession, which means manuscripts submitted to NASW Press are expected to be both scholarly rigorous and professionally responsible. The evidence must be sound and the language must reflect the profession’s values.
Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for NASW Press with attention to the professional precision, APA accuracy, and practice clarity that the profession’s publisher demands. Our editors bring experience in social work practice, policy, and diversity writing and understand the specific language standards that NASW publications are expected to meet.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to National Association of Social Workers 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 National Association of Social Workers 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 National Association of Social Workers Press. We apply APA 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 National Association of Social Workers 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 National Association of Social Workers Press. When the writing is done and the deadline is close, this is the right service.
NASW Press manuscripts are expected to reflect the profession’s commitment to culturally responsive, strengths-based, and person-first language. Our editors attend to the consistency of professional language throughout, ensure APA 7th edition is applied precisely, and flag passages where the language may not meet the standards that NASW Press’s editorial review 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.
