Jossey-Bass Higher and Adult Education Series Manuscript Editing Services

Order Manuscript Editing Jossey-Bass, a Wiley imprint since 1999, publishes the Higher and Adult Education Series. Off the Grid edits higher education manuscripts for this kind of list. Books in the field often speak to faculty, administrators, and student affairs professionals in the same chapter, and the research has to arrive with its consequences for practice already worked out.

Our editors bring experience in higher education research and adult learning writing. We keep the argument clear across those audiences and state the practical implications where a practitioner will look for them. Off the Grid works in APA style for education manuscripts and applies the Jossey-Bass and Wiley guidelines when you send them.
