Corwin Manuscript Editing Services

Order Manuscript Editing Corwin, a Sage company, publishes professional learning books for educators. Its readers are principals, district administrators, instructional coaches, and teacher leaders, people who open a book because they have a decision to make about how their schools work. The writing has to meet them there.

Corwin's author guide specifies the APA Publication Manual, and Off the Grid Editing prepares Corwin manuscripts in APA style. Our editors keep the practical guidance direct and the supporting research cleanly cited, so a school leader reading between meetings can follow the argument and find the source behind any claim. Both matter.

Human Manuscript Editor

Natural Intelligence for Corwin

Natural Intelligence is our name for editorial judgment: an editor who reads your manuscript the way Corwin's editors will and verifies every change before it comes back to you. We read as the principal or coach who will use the book, asking whether each strategy is stated clearly enough to try.

Our Promise

We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Corwin. 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 Corwin

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.

Manuscript Copy Editing

Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.

Manuscript Line Editing

Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.

Manuscript Proofreading

Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to Corwin.

Leadership Clarity for Corwin

Corwin's Publish with Us page describes how to submit a proposal with a sample chapter. We apply APA style throughout and follow any further instructions your Corwin editor sends. Our editors mark passages where guidance could be stated more directly for a practitioner. 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.

For other presses, see our page on manuscript editing for academic presses. We also offer book and manuscript editing, developmental editing, and dissertation to book editing.
