University of Minnesota Press Manuscript Editing Services

The University of Minnesota Press is recognized internationally for an innovative editorial program in the humanities and social sciences. Its key subject areas include media studies, critical theory, cultural studies, environmental studies, and performance studies, and many of its books introduce new frameworks or bring established theory to new objects. Much of that work is theoretical.

Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for University of Minnesota Press submissions in Chicago style and applies Minnesota's own guidelines when you send them. Our editors are experienced in the interdisciplinary humanities and in the cultural studies and critical theory traditions that run through the Minnesota list. We edit for clarity first.

University of Minnesota Press manuscripts often introduce new frameworks, challenge established methods, or bring existing theory to new objects. Our editors check that a new framework is introduced once and used the same way after, that the manuscript's intervention in its field is clear, and that ambitious theoretical argument stays legible. Send any guidelines from your editor. More about the press is on the University of Minnesota Press 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.
