Manuscript Editing for Radical History Review Journal Articles
Radical History Review brings historical scholarship together with active political engagement. Its thematic issues, edited by a collective, cover gender, race, sexuality, imperialism, and class across Western and non-Western histories, with sections on public history and teaching. Duke University Press publishes it three times a year for MARHO: The Radical Historians' Organization.
The journal considers articles only when they fit a planned theme issue or posted call. You first submit a one- to two-page abstract as a proposal, and selected authors are invited to send a full article of no more than 35 to 40 pages. The journal's style sheet, based on the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition, calls for notes with a reference list of works cited, and acknowledgments go in an unnumbered first note. Substantial articles carry an abstract of about 200 words in the third person, with three to five lowercase keywords. Off the Grid Editing tightens the proposal to two pages and builds the reference list from your notes. Proposals and articles go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Radical History 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 Radical History Review.
Duke's submission guidelines link the RHR style sheet and current calls. 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 historical scholarship, and academic proofreading is the final pass. For books, see Duke University Press manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for History Workshop Journal and the Journal of Social History.
