Writing may be a solitary activity, but producing a meaningful written product is a team effort. From before the completion of a first draft through putting the finishing touches on a manuscript, the support of a writing and editing expert brings increased clarity, focus, and precision to both the argumentation and stylistic concerns of your work. Southwest Humanities provides this expert support to academic and professional writers from a wide range of fields.

Our background in academic research, writing, and teaching shines through in our work. Southwest Humanities maintains a contemporary familiarity with the complex developments in humanities, philosophical, and social sciences scholarship that is unparalleled in the academic pre-publication industry. Your work will be enhanced by our fluency in academic concepts and our familiarity with field-specific terminology from various humanities and social science disciplines. In addition, we have the unique ability to address the specific needs of English-as-a-second-language scholars with our background in a number of modern languages. Put simply, we catch the subtleties and nuances that others can’t and provide you with unparalleled editorial, indexing, and translation services.

Southwest Humanities’ pre-publication services are available for academic writing at all career stages and lengths, from master’s theses to journal articles to book chapters to monographs. Our unaffiliated status allows us to be flexible and attentive to the hectic (and sometimes grueling) schedules of academic researchers, and our small scale allows us to give each project its due attention.
