Manuscript Editing for Feminist Review Journal Articles
Run as a collective since 1979, Feminist Review holds space for conversations that rethink and reimagine feminist scholarship and praxis. It publishes accessible knowledge and timely interventions that build on Black, Indigenous, decolonial, and transnational feminist struggle, with values that center care. SAGE publishes it, and its editorial office is at 198 Contemporary Arts and Learning in London.
Articles run 6,000 to 8,000 words, and Open Space pieces up to 3,000, with counts including the abstract, text, footnotes, and references. Open Space takes dialogue, work in progress, polemic, poetry, and other forms. Citations follow Sage Harvard author-date, with every in-text citation matching the reference list. Articles carry an unstructured abstract of 200 to 300 words. The manuscript is fully anonymized, and a separate title page holds the Statements and Declarations. The word count and date go at the end of the text. Review is triple-anonymized, with two collective editors reading first and two external referees after. Off the Grid Editing applies Sage Harvard and checks the word count. Submissions go through Sage Track.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Feminist Review. 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 and Proofreading for Feminist Review
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 Feminist Review.
SAGE's submission guidelines cover length, citations, and anonymization. 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.
For how we edit feminist scholarship, see journal article and essay editing; academic proofreading is the final pass before submission. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Signs and the Journal of Gender Studies.
