I have a draft academic paper in the social sciences that needs a thorough editorial pass before I submit it to a peer-reviewed journal. I’m looking for someone who can polish the language for clarity and academic tone, tighten the overall flow, and double-check that every reference is correctly formatted against the journal’s preferred style (likely APA 7th, though I’ll confirm once we start).

The manuscript is approximately 7,500 words, including abstract and references. I’ll share the current Word file and the target journal’s author guidelines. Please track all changes so I can review each revision, and include short margin comments where you suggest structural improvements or flag ambiguous arguments.

By the end of the project I’d like:
• A clean, submission-ready version of the paper.
• A tracked-changes version showing every edit.
• A brief editorial summary (one page max) explaining major alterations and any outstanding issues I should address.

If you have a background in social science writing or have edited for journals in sociology, political science, or related fields, that will be a plus. Let me know your turnaround time and a single sample of a similar project you’ve completed.
