Manuscript Editing for Journal of School Counseling Articles
Founded in 2003, the Journal of School Counseling publishes work that promotes effective school counseling practice. It draws on the experience of practicing school counselors and counselor educators. Its content falls under Resource Briefs, Innovative Methods, Theory and Research, Professional Development, and Current Issues. The College of Education, Health and Human Development at Montana State University sponsors it, and its editor heads the Department of Counseling in Bozeman.
Manuscripts include empirical studies, innovative methods, and position papers. References follow APA 7th edition author-date style, on a separate page titled References. Text is double-spaced in 12-point Arial with one-inch margins, and tables and figures sit in the text with descriptive labels. An abstract of 50 to 100 words appears on a separate second page. A biographical statement for each author follows the references, giving title, work setting, interests, and expertise. Authors send both a complete version and a masked version. A cover letter goes to the editor, and research manuscripts confirm IRB procedures. Quotations of 300 to 500 words need written permission from the copyright holder, and paraphrase is preferred. Accepted papers return as accessible PDFs. Submissions go by email to the editor as Word attachments.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of School Counseling
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 Journal of School Counseling.
The journal's author guidelines cover formatting, the abstract, and author statements. 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.
