I will proofread and polish humanities or social science papers

I proofread and edit academic writing in the humanities and social sciences.

This gig is best for research essays, seminar papers, undergraduate papers, masters coursework, short article drafts, and other humanities or social-science writing. I work especially well with history, sociology, China / East Asia studies, archaeology, law, cultural studies, political science, media studies, literature, and related fields.

I can help improve:

• grammar, spelling, and punctuation
• awkward phrasing
• sentence clarity and flow
• academic tone
• word choice
• paragraph-level readability
• unclear wording that may confuse readers

You will receive an edited document with tracked changes or Google Docs suggestions, plus brief comments where a sentence, paragraph, or term needs clarification.

I am currently a Ph.D. student in East Asian Studies at Columbia University, with academic training in Chinese history and archaeology at Tsinghua University and the University of Oxford.
