Manuscript Editing for Studies in American Indian Literatures Journal Articles
Studies in American Indian Literatures describes itself as “the only journal in the United States that focuses exclusively on American Indian literatures.” The University of Nebraska Press publishes it for the Association for the Study of American Indian Literatures. It defines literatures broadly, including written, spoken, and visual texts, and it invites critical, pedagogical, and theoretical work along with interviews and review essays.
Manuscripts run roughly 5,000 to 7,000 words. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style, with endnotes preferred. Review is blind, by outside readers, so your name stays off the title page and first page, and your contact details go in a separate section. Off the Grid Editing builds the endnotes in Chicago style and checks that each tribal nation and author is named precisely. You email the manuscript to the editors.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Studies in American Indian Literatures
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 Studies in American Indian Literatures.

If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one.
