Manuscript Editing for Material Religion Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Material Religion sets out to “explore how religion happens in material culture,” from images and devotional objects to architecture, sacred space, ritual, and pilgrimage. Taylor & Francis publishes it under the Routledge imprint. Alongside articles it runs In Conversation and Outlook sections, with reviews, reports, interviews, and notes.

A typical paper runs 6,000 to 9,000 words, including the abstract, references, and endnotes, with an unstructured abstract of 200 words. Spelling is American, with double quotation marks. After the editor assesses fit, independent referees review each paper double-blind. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's reference guide when you send it and checks that each image is described where your argument relies on it. Submissions go through Routledge's Submission Portal.

Natural Intelligence for Material Religion

Natural Intelligence is our name for editorial judgment: an editor who reads your manuscript the way Material Religion's editors and peer reviewers will and verifies every change before it comes back to you. We read as a scholar of material religion does, checking that each object is described closely enough to carry the claim you make about it. Track Changes stays on throughout.

Our Promise

Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.
