Stanford University Press Manuscript Editing Services

Stanford University Press is particularly strong in social science methodologies, law, and interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersection of the humanities and social sciences. Its acquisitions editors are attentive to manuscripts that bring rigorous method to humanistic questions — and to the quality of prose that signals a scholar who has thought carefully not only about what they are arguing but about how their reader will receive it.

Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Stanford University Press submissions with attention to the methodological clarity and prose quality that SUP’s editorial review demands. Our editors work in Chicago style and are experienced in the social science and legal scholarship that forms the core of Stanford’s list.

Stanford University Press publishes across education, sociology, law, and the humanities with a consistent commitment to methodological rigor. Manuscripts in these areas often move between theoretical argument and empirical evidence — requiring an editor who can track the consistency of argument across both registers. Include any series guidelines from your acquisitions editor with your manuscript. 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.
