Manuscript Editing for Written Communication Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Written Communication is an interdisciplinary journal for research on writing in all its symbolic forms: what writing is, how it gets done, and what it does in the world. Sage publishes it. It takes new findings, theoretical concepts, and new ways of understanding writing.

References follow APA 7th edition. The anonymized manuscript is submitted separately from the title page, with names removed from file names and file properties as well. Five to seven keywords follow the abstract and must not repeat words from the title.
