Harvard Education Press Manuscript Editing Services

Order Manuscript Editing Harvard Education Press publishes books on education policy, leadership, and equity meant to inform practice as well as scholarship. It describes its mission as giving practitioners and policymakers the knowledge and tools they need to address issues in education. Those are the readers.

Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Harvard Education Press submissions in APA style, or Chicago when your manuscript calls for it, and applies HEP guidelines when you send them. We know education policy and leadership writing well. We edit for a clear argument, strong evidence, and prose that a school leader can read on a busy afternoon.
