Editorial Policies

If you received an offer for an interview, congratulations! Please share your first draft via Google Doc when you are ready. Routine copyediting involves a round of fact checking and a basic grammar review. We will also ask you to clarify specific sentences if we feel that doing so will help the reader’s understanding.

Depending on your writing experience and your topic’s complexity, you might decide to request additional support from us. We are happy to help you delete redundant phrases, make suggestions on how to address a query, or support you in any other way you like. We respect your content and voice. Let us know If there is a section that requires our attention.

Generally speaking, these are the annotations you can expect from us:

Please reconcile — a particular detail
Please fix — a factual error
Please clarify — a concept

You then have the opportunity to respond to the feedback. Hopefully, all of the earlier queries will be resolved. If some concerns persist, we will suggest ways to address it and to help move the conversation forward. We will then confirm a final draft with you for publication.

We try our very best to make this experience a positive one. However, we also understand that some times things just do not work out whether it is because of time constraints or other real world constraints. We may decline to publish the article if we believe there are irreconcilable differences though this is rare.

We hope you have a wonderful publication experience with us — thank you for considering Visible.
