Copyediting
We copyedit all accepted manuscripts. In copyediting your manuscript we seek to make your prose as clear and effective as possible. The substantive revisions we will ask you to make will be in the interest of best communicating with a broad readership. We hope to offer you as many suggestions as we can to enhance your essay’s readability and accessibility to our audience.
Common problems in the manuscripts we receive include mixed metaphors, inconsistent tenses, and excessive use of the passive voice. We will do our best to reduce wordiness and correct any errors of grammar, syntax, and punctuation. Authors, however, are responsible for ensuring that their text and notes are accurate. We are not responsible for fact-checking a manuscript. All errors we discover, however, we will note, correct, and bring to the author’s attention.
You will have an opportunity to review the copyedited version of your manuscript, which will contain queries, stylistic changes, and suggested revisions.
