Paper Editing

[philapp]

Hi everyone,

As english is my second language, i was thinking maybe i can send my writing to some editing and proofreading service before sending it for publication. But I am not sure where to sent it. Any thoughts on editing institutions, good for philosophical papers? Thanks.

Ask on the Philos-L listserv. A fair few copy editors with philosophy credentials advertise their services there. Just be aware that it's going to be very expensive.

Some journals also offer a similar (but free!) service for non-native speakers of English. I can't remember which ones offhand, but I do know a few pretty prominent ones do. Just have a look at their sites. If they offer those services, it'll be somewhere on there. Probably in the author guidelines.
