Temple University Press Manuscript Editing Services

Temple University Press is one of the leading American university presses in urban studies, social work, and public policy — fields where the precision of scholarly argument has direct implications for how communities are organized, how resources are distributed, and how institutions respond to human need. Its acquisitions editors are looking for manuscripts that are both rigorous and useful.

Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Temple University Press submissions with attention to the combination of scholarly precision and practical clarity that Temple’s editorial culture values. Our editors bring experience in urban studies, social work, and policy analysis — and attend to the argument consistency and citation accuracy that Temple’s peer review process requires.

Temple University Press manuscripts often integrate empirical evidence, policy analysis, and theoretical argument across chapters that may have been drafted separately. Our editors attend to the consistency of argument across the full manuscript, ensure the policy implications of the scholarly argument are clearly articulated, and flag passages where the empirical evidence needs to be more explicitly connected to the theoretical framework. 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.
