Publication support

Prepare your manuscript
with confidence.

Author-led guidance for journal fit, manuscript readiness, formatting, submission preparation and responding to reviewer comments. Where relevant, we can help you interpret a journal’s scope and indexing information. We do not guarantee acceptance or submit work in your name.

How support works

A clear path from enquiry to delivery.

Every request is assessed individually. The exact scope is agreed with you before paid work begins.

    Tell us your stage, deadline and the support you need. The initial assessment is free.

    We explain the proposed work, deliverables, timing and quotation before anything is paid.

  3. 03

    Work begins only after you agree to the scope. Your own academic decisions and authorship remain yours.

  4. 04
