Guilford Press Manuscript Editing Services
The Guilford Press, an independent publisher founded in New York in 1973, is one of the most respected publishers in clinical and applied psychology, psychiatry, and social work, with lists in education and research methods as well. Practitioners and researchers both read its books. A therapist or school psychologist needs the evidence and a clear path to using it.
Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Guilford with attention to clinical precision and to how clearly the research turns into practice. We work in APA style for psychology, social work, and education manuscripts and apply Guilford’s own manuscript guidelines when you send them. Our editors have worked extensively in clinical psychology, mental health, and social work writing.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Guilford Press. 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 Guilford Press
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.
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.
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.
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 Guilford Press.
Guilford manuscripts often move between research literature and clinical application. We keep research summaries precise, keep clinical terminology consistent, and point out passages where the step from evidence to practice needs to be spelled out. Guilford’s author page describes how to submit a proposal and prepare a 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.
