Rutgers University Press Manuscript Editing Services

Rutgers University Press is known for publishing socially engaged scholarship — books that take seriously both the intellectual rigor of academic argument and the real-world stakes of the questions they address. Its lists in public health, social work, gender studies, and race and ethnicity reflect a press that selects manuscripts not only for scholarly merit but for their contribution to urgent social questions.

Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Rutgers University Press submissions with attention to the combination of scholarly precision and social clarity that Rutgers’s editorial culture values. Our editors bring experience in public health, social work, and critical social science — and attend to the specific challenge of manuscripts that are making both academic and social arguments simultaneously.

Rutgers University Press manuscripts often address both academic and policy audiences — making rigorous scholarly arguments whose implications extend to practice, policy, and social change. Our editors attend to the clarity with which the manuscript’s social stakes are articulated, ensure the academic argument does not lose sight of its real-world implications, and edit for the accessibility a socially engaged press 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.
