Would you like help preparing your manuscript for submission to a degree program, journal or publisher? The International Writers Studio offers a full range of services to help optimize your manuscript and maximize its impact.
Final polish for the well-organized manuscript
Standard editing provides a meticulous review and correction of your manuscript to ensure it is error-free and polished. If your manuscript is already well organized, this is a good option for you. It includes:
• Grammar and syntax—Correcting subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, sentence structure, and proper use of the parts of speech
• Spelling and typographical errors—Identifying misspelled words, duplicate words and missing words
• Formatting consistency—Checking headings, fonts, spacing, margins, and adherence to style guide requirements
• Word usage and tone—Identifying confused phrases, redundancies, and suggesting clearer alternatives when meaning is unclear
• Citation and reference formatting—Ensuring proper formatting of footnotes, endnotes, bibliographies, and in-text citations according to specific style guides
