Manuscript Editing for Pastoral Psychology Journal Articles
Founded in 1950, Pastoral Psychology publishes original articles on religion and spirituality from physical, human-science, and interfaith perspectives. It welcomes every theoretical school, from psychoanalytic and cognitive to humanistic, transpersonal, and cultural. Springer Nature publishes it, and its editor-in-chief is at Fordham University.
Articles generally run about 10 to 25 double-spaced pages. The journal takes empirical articles, review articles, and opinion and commentary pieces. References conform to strict APA style; the guidelines name the 6th edition while showing 7th-edition author lists, and footnotes take the place of endnotes. The abstract runs 150 to 250 words, followed by four to six keywords. All manuscripts should be in English. Review is double-anonymous. Off the Grid Editing applies APA style and asks which edition you are following. Submissions go through Springer Nature's submission system.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Pastoral Psychology
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 Pastoral Psychology.
Springer's submission guidelines cover length, references, and review. 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.
Our journal article and essay editing page explains how we edit research articles, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Springer Nature manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for the Journal of Religion and Health and Spirituality in Clinical Practice.
