Manuscript Editing for Rhetoric Society Quarterly Journal Articles
The official journal of the Rhetoric Society of America, Rhetoric Society Quarterly publishes “original articles on all areas of rhetorical studies,” from theory and history to criticism and pedagogy. Taylor & Francis brings it out five times a year under the Routledge imprint, and its editor is at the University of Kentucky. Its readers come from communication, English, philosophy, politics, and related fields.
Articles run 10,000 words or fewer, notes and Works Cited included, with the count stated in your cover letter. Citations follow MLA style, with parenthetical author-and-page references and a Works Cited list, and notes carry substantive comment only. Spelling is American, with double quotation marks. Referees usually come from two different disciplines, so the argument has to reach both. Dissertation material is considered only when it has been substantially revised into article form, and our essay editing helps make that turn. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Rhetoric Society Quarterly
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 Rhetoric Society Quarterly.
The society's submission guidelines and Taylor & Francis's instructions for authors cover length, citations, 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 scholarly articles, and academic proofreading is the final pass. For books, see Taylor & Francis (Routledge) manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for Rhetoric Review.
