Pearson Manuscript Editing Services
Pearson is one of the world’s largest educational publishers, with a textbook program spanning nursing, education, business, and the social sciences. Millions of students use its textbooks. A Pearson manuscript has to teach as well as argue.
Off the Grid Editing prepares textbook manuscripts for Pearson with attention to clarity for the student and accuracy for the instructor who adopts the book. We work in APA style for nursing, education, and social science manuscripts and apply Pearson’s own guidelines when you send them. The hard part of most textbook chapters is introducing complex material to students meeting it for the first time, and that is where our line editing does most of its work.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Pearson. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.
Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.
Manuscript Editing Services for Pearson
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 Pearson.
Textbook manuscripts usually include learning objectives, chapter summaries, key terms, review questions, and case studies. We edit each feature against the chapter it supports, so they stay aligned as the text changes. Technical terms a student may not know come back to you with a query about whether a definition belongs. More about the company is on Pearson’s website. 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.
