Temple University Press Manuscript Editing Services

Temple University Press is a leading press in urban studies and public policy, and its editors acquire in political science, the Philadelphia region, sociology, criminology, sexuality studies, and Asian American studies. It has long published in labor and housing. Disability studies is a current focus.

Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Temple University Press submissions in Chicago style, or APA for social science manuscripts, and applies Temple guidelines when you send them. Our editors bring experience in urban studies and policy analysis. We check argument and citations across the whole manuscript, which matters most in books whose chapters were drafted at different times.

Temple University Press manuscripts often combine empirical evidence, policy analysis, and theory across chapters drafted separately. Our editors keep the argument consistent across the full manuscript, state the policy implications clearly, and mark places where the evidence needs a firmer tie to the theoretical framework. Send any guidelines from your editor. Temple University Press explains what a proposal should include on its submissions page. 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.
