Manuscript Editing for Comparative American Studies Journal Articles
Comparative American Studies is an international journal that carries debates about American studies beyond the borders of the United States. It places American culture within an international comparative framework. Taylor & Francis publishes it, and its editors are at the University of East Anglia, with a North American editor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Articles run no more than 10,000 words, counting the abstract, tables, references, captions, and notes. Shorter discussion pieces run up to 3,000 words. The unstructured abstract runs 200 words, with up to ten keywords. Review is double-anonymous, by two independent experts. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. We also keep national and regional terms consistent across the comparison. Submissions go through the Routledge Submission Portal.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Comparative American Studies
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 Comparative American Studies.
Taylor & Francis's instructions for authors cover length, the abstract, and keywords. 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.
We also prepare articles for the Journal of Transnational American Studies and the Journal of American Studies. Our journal article and essay editing page explains how we edit comparative scholarship, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers.
