Lippincott (Wolters Kluwer) Manuscript Editing Services
Wolters Kluwer publishes its health books under the Lippincott brand, and it is one of the world’s leading publishers of clinical and professional references in nursing, medicine, and pharmacy. These books are used at the bedside and in clinical training. An error in a drug name or a protocol step can travel a long way from the page.
Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts for Lippincott with attention to clinical accuracy, consistent terminology, and clear teaching prose. We work in APA style for nursing manuscripts and Chicago style for others, and we apply the reference style specified in your Lippincott author guidelines when you send them. Your acquisitions editor provides those.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Lippincott. 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 Lippincott
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 Lippincott.
Lippincott manuscripts often include drug information, clinical protocols, and evidence-based guidelines. We check that clinical terminology is used the same way from chapter to chapter, that citations match the reference list, and that formatting follows your Lippincott author guidelines. If your acquisitions editor has sent those guidelines, include them with your manuscript. Lippincott’s author resources explain how to reach the right acquisitions editor. 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.
