Livewrite for Word

Research is hard. Publishing does not have to be.

Manuscript preparation is where weeks are lost and momentum stalls. Drafting, revising, managing citations, and reformatting for journals introduce unnecessary delays and increase the risk of rejection. Livewrite integrates the publication workflow directly into Microsoft Word, so preparation happens where the work already lives. By embedding editing, automated reviews, and formatting into your workflow, Livewrite helps prevent editorial delays and reduce avoidable rejections, while keeping you in control of every change.

The Hidden Time Cost for Researchers

Manuscripts are frequently delayed or rejected due to avoidable issues such as unclear writing, missed reporting requirements, and formatting gaps. These weeks lost per manuscript compound into fewer publications and missed career opportunities. Livewrite helps researchers strengthen their science and prepare submissions efficiently, directly inside Microsoft Word.

Reformatting should not control your timeline

Journal-specific requirements repeatedly slow otherwise ready manuscripts, especially after revisions or resubmissions. Livewrite Premium removes this bottleneck by automatically adapting your manuscript to journal requirements inside Microsoft Word.

Premium also adds advanced review, reporting checks, and human-verified resubmission to catch issues before submission, reducing preventable delays and avoidable rejections.

The result is faster resubmissions, fewer surprises, and sustained publication momentum.

Your manuscript is ready for upload. You also get a journal-specific checklist to make sure nothing is missed.

Formatting manuscripts is painful and normally, I lose about half a day of work formatting, double-checking, and proofreading. But Livewrite was fast, easy, and accurate. After just a few minutes I could download my reformatted manuscript and submit it, saving hours!
