Manuscript Editing for Religion and American Culture Journal Articles
Religion and American Culture: A Journal of Interpretation is edited at the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture at Indiana University Indianapolis. Cambridge University Press publishes it three times a year. It is devoted to “the ongoing scholarly discussion of the nature, terms, and dynamics of religion in America,” and it looks for focused studies that shed light on broader patterns in American life.
Articles generally run 25 to 35 double-spaced pages and need a clear thesis. The abstract, up to 250 words on the first page, states the problem, the thesis, and the kind of evidence. Review is triple-anonymous, so nothing in the manuscript or its notes may identify you. Articles must be fully documented with notes. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its note style, and tightens the abstract around your thesis. Submissions go through ScholarOne as Word files.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Religion and American Culture
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 Religion and American Culture.
Cambridge's author instructions cover the abstract and permissions. 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.
See journal article and essay editing for how we edit scholarly articles, and academic proofreading for the final pass. Our Cambridge University Press manuscript editing page covers books for the same press, and we prepare articles for more than 200 journals.
