Johns Hopkins University Press Manuscript Editing Services
Johns Hopkins University Press is one of the most active American university presses in health policy, medicine, and public health. It keeps dedicated lists in health policy and public health and in the history of medicine, and it also acquires in higher education. Terms have to be exact.
Health sciences and policy manuscripts are familiar work for us. For a Johns Hopkins submission we work in Chicago style, or APA for social science manuscripts, and apply JHU Press guidelines when you send them. We edit for consistent terminology, accurate citations, and an argument a policy reader can follow from the first chapter to the last.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Johns Hopkins University 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 Johns Hopkins University 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 Johns Hopkins University Press.
Manuscripts for these Johns Hopkins lists often combine clinical evidence, policy analysis, and historical or theoretical argument, which calls for an editor who can track the argument as it moves between those registers. Terminology and citation conventions stay consistent. The JHU Press submission guidelines describe how to send a proposal to its editors. 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.
