ISTE+ASCD Manuscript Editing Services

Order Manuscript Editing ISTE+ASCD publishes books for educators. ASCD and ISTE completed their merger in 2022, and the book program now runs under the joint name. Its author page names the readers plainly: principals, teachers, central office staffers, superintendents, and professors.

Reviewers there look for work that is evidence-based, practical, and actionable. That is a hard combination for a writer trained in research prose, because the evidence has to stay visible while the guidance reads as something a principal could put to work in a school next term. Off the Grid Editing edits for both.

Human Manuscript Editor

Natural Intelligence for ISTE+ASCD

Natural Intelligence is our name for editorial judgment: an editor who reads your manuscript the way an ISTE+ASCD reviewer will and verifies every change before it comes back to you. For a practitioner book, that means checking that the research and the classroom guidance support each other on every page.

Our Promise

We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to ISTE+ASCD. 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.
