Academic Research - Entrepreneurial Action Research Project
I am seeking an academic research assistant to support my Entrepreneurial Action Research project, which encompasses approximately 9,500 words. The theoretical framework is largely established but requires enhancement, particularly regarding secondary data integration. Assistance is needed in identifying pertinent secondary data, facilitating action research cycles (planning, action, observation, reflection), and ensuring accurate Harvard-style citations and references. Additionally, the academic structure, flow, and layout require refinement, alongside proofreading and language polishing. I will provide existing draft sections and some secondary sources. A PowerPoint presentation for around 10 minutes oral presentation will also be needed ,but I'll need to write myself because I`ll be presenting it(Ill need the proof reading). The deadline for completion is the morning of January 15, UK time.I`m flexible about the price. Thank you for your consideration.

Informative Article Writing Needed
I’m putting together an informative article and need a skilled writer to handle the full piece from research to final proofreading. Because the primary goal is to inform rather than persuade or entertain, I’m after a clear, neutral tone that still keeps the reader engaged. Here’s what I have in mind: you’ll research the topic I’ll share once we connect, organize the information into a logical flow, and deliver a polished article ready for publication. Citations for any facts or data points should be included, and the work must be 100 % original—no AI-generated or recycled content. Deliverables • One well-structured article (Word or Google Doc) • Clean, concise language with proper grammar and spelling • Brief list of sources or references used If you’re experienced in crafting informative pieces and can turn solid research into easy-to-read content, I’d love to see a short sample of your writing and hear how quickly you can start.
Manual English Proofreading for an Academic Paper (No AI Tools)
I have an academic research paper of approximately 6,000 words that requires a manual English proofreading (not AI-assisted). What’s needed: Careful proofreading of academic language (grammar, clarity, and style). Splitting long or complex sentences into two or three shorter ones for better readability. Asking for clarification if any terms or expressions are unclear to ensure the intended meaning is preserved. Note: The paper has been proofread previously, but after applying reviewers’ comments, the text might have been slightly affected and needs a final polish. Deadline: The work must be completed within 6 hours of receiving the file. Important: If you are not a native or highly fluent English speaker, please do not apply for this project. Thank you in advance!
Fantasy Short Story Creation
I’m putting together a collection of original fantasy shorts and I’m looking for a writer who can craft a complete, polished story from scratch. The assignment is creative writing—specifically a single short story in the fantasy genre. Here’s what I need: • A self-contained tale with vivid world-building, memorable characters, and a clear beginning, middle, and end. • Length in the general range of 3,000–5,000 words so the pacing feels tight but satisfying. • A finished piece that has already been proofread for grammar, consistency, and style; I want something ready to publish, not a first draft. I’ll share a short brief about the setting and any required lore once we start, but you’ll have plenty of room for your own creative flair. Please deliver the story in an editable format such as Google Docs or Word, and include a short synopsis (150–200 words) that I can use for marketing copy. If imaginative fantasy is your comfort zone and you can hit deadlines reliably, I’d love to see a brief sample of previous work or a one-paragraph pitch for the concept you’d like to develop.

I need my dissertation to be proofread and edited
I am looking for an expert to carefully read through my dissertation, identify problem areas and correct them. Additional research would be appreciated and special emphasis should be given on referencing.
I need some proofreading done references added.
I have written a paper that I am still working on. I currently have 18 references and they need to all be vetted for viability and reliability. Some of them may not be peer-evaluated. I need someone to read the paper and verify my references, remove those that don't meet the standard, and find me some peer-evaluated and public references for my paper. The paper is just over 33 pages. I do NOT need any additional writing for the paper. The issue is that my current references are behind some systems and/or paywalls that can't be reached by the general public in order to easily vet my paper. If you have a ProQuest account, that would be the most ideal for this project. The jist of this is that my reference list needs work, I need the in-text references verified, I need references added to support information being asserted, and I need references removed that are not viable for some reason (not factual, can't be verified, improper, etc.). 01.) I need you to read through the paper and ensure that the references are correct in that they are real references and can be easily accessed by a reader. 02.) I need you to verify that the content from the citation properly supports the information it's referencing. 03.) Where applicable, you need to replace and find a new reference that supports the information in the paper. 04.) All references need to be properly formatted in APA 7 format with URL links to easily find them online. 05.) You will need to delete/add to the reference list where applicable. 06.) You need to check all current references to determine if they meet the standard. 07.) You need to read through the paper to ensure that all assertions being made that require references, have proper references supporting them. 08.) You need to make a fully updated reference list to complete the assignment. 09.) As an example when topics are mentioned like the Firewall Theory, Black Hole Information Paradox, Einstein's Theory, Newton's Theory, Hawking Radiation and other physics-related terms, if there is an assertion based on the topic, then a proper reference needs to be included in support. 10.) Terms like the Reborn Communication Window (RCW) and the Transhorizon Binding Force (TBF) are the speculative theories being studied so there are no peer-evaluated references for them, so you don't have to have references for them unless they're being compared/contrasted to a physics-related topic already in existing peer-evaluated literature. 11.) Remove any double citations. Use only single, end-of-sentence, in-text citations. 12.) The budget for this project is $25.00. This is not negotiable. Remember, you are NOT doing content writing. You're just verifying references. I'll add the document once an agreement is reached. I'll do $12.50 down (half) for the deposit. Please let me know when you can start and approximately how long you think it will take you to finish. Re-read the instructions carefully, before you submit to this posting. ...thanks,
