Frequently asked questions
We carefully select trained experts to ensure accuracy of grammar, terminology and conventions relevant to your book's subject matter. Our book editors are native English speakers renowned for their expertise in academic subject areas and familiarity with publishing, who will help you achieve your book's potential with a comprehensive manuscript assessment and crucial guidance.
We understand the tremendous effort that has gone into your manuscript and believe that simply proofreading will not do it justice. At Taylor & Francis, we prefer to offer a combination of developmental and substantive editing, copyediting and proofreading services. This ensures that your book communicates clearly with your target audience.
Rest assured that the confidentiality of your draft is our top priority. We maintain non-disclosure agreements with our editors to this end. Moreover, our secure online system prevents your information from ever being accessible to any outside party. Your information will only be seen by your manuscript editor and the assigned project manager. On request, we will also sign a confidentiality agreement with you before you send us anything you want kept confidential.
T&F Editing Services is NOT intended to replace any of the copyediting activities undertaken by our Production department. All titles in Production are copyedited and there has been no downgrading of our copyediting standards. We envisage that the main market for T&F Editing Services will be authors who require a more in-depth line edit (as well as a copyedit) to raise the level of their written English to a publishable standard.
