Georgetown University Press Manuscript Editing Services

Georgetown University Press publishes peer-reviewed books in international affairs, foreign policy, and security, along with languages and linguistics, religion and ethics, global business and economics, and the history of the Washington, DC, region. Ethics runs through several of those lists.

Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Georgetown University Press submissions in Chicago style, or APA for social science manuscripts, and applies Georgetown's own guidelines when you send them. Our editors attend to argument structure and citation consistency. In international affairs and ethics, that often means keeping normative claims about what ought to be done separate from descriptive claims about what is the case.

Georgetown University Press manuscripts often make normative arguments, claims about what ought to be done as well as what is the case. Our editors keep descriptive and prescriptive claims distinct, check that each normative argument has the evidence and reasoning it needs, and mark passages where the policy implications should be stated outright. Send any guidelines from your editor. Georgetown University Press describes its proposal process on its publishing with Georgetown page. 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.
