Manuscript Editing for College Composition and Communication Journal Articles
College Composition and Communication is the journal of the Conference on College Composition and Communication, published four times a year by the National Council of Teachers of English. It publishes research and scholarship in rhetoric and composition that helps college teachers reflect on and improve their teaching of writing, with a focus on “writing in higher education.” Its co-editors are at UMass Boston and the University of Central Florida.
Research articles run no more than 8,000 words, and excess length is a common reason for desk rejection. Citations follow the current MLA Handbook. Review is anonymous, so your name comes out of the title page, the text, and the works cited. Using unpublished student or teacher writing, even anonymized, requires IRB clearance and written permission. Shorter forms such as Research Briefs and Interchanges also appear. Off the Grid Editing trims a draft to the limit before it reaches the editors. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for College Composition and Communication
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 College Composition and Communication.
The journal's guidelines for authors cover article types, length, and permissions. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. 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.
