Journal Manuscript Editing
Preparing an article to a journal's requirements.
What this service involves
Preparing an article to a journal's requirements. This work sits within our academic & scholarly services practice, and is shaped around the particular manuscript in front of us rather than a fixed template.
Academic editing improves the clarity, consistency and presentation of scholarly work. The argument and the research remain entirely yours.
We do not write or complete work intended to be submitted as a student's own. All academic support is limited to language, structure, clarity and presentation, within the conventions of academic integrity.

Questions
Before you begin.
- How do we begin with journal manuscript editing?
- You send us the work, or a description of it, through the manuscript submission form or by email. We read it, ask any questions we have, and come back with a proposed scope, timeline and fee before anything is committed.
- How long does it take?
- It depends on length, condition and the scale of the work involved. We give you a specific timeline once we have seen the material, and we hold to it.
- Will the work still sound like me?
- Yes. Academic work at InkStone is built around your intentions. We explain our reasoning, raise queries rather than quietly rewriting, and leave the final decisions with you.
- What does it cost?
- Fees are quoted per project rather than from a price list, because manuscripts differ enormously. Tell us about your work and we will give you a clear, itemised quote.
