French Academic Proofreading Needed

Job ID: 40350070

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

I have an academic manuscript in French on a social sciences topic that needs a meticulous proofread. The draft was partially generated with AI tools, so some passages feel mechanical or repetitive. Your job is to smooth out the language, ensure the tone matches standard French academic conventions, and make the text sound as if it were written entirely by a human researcher.

Key expectations:
• Correct grammar, syntax, and punctuation without altering the author’s intended meaning.
• Replace AI-sounding phrasing with natural, idiomatic French while keeping the academic register.
• Verify consistency in terminology specific to the social sciences (e.g., “acteurs sociaux,” “capital symbolique”).
• Flag any ambiguous or weak arguments; brief margin notes are enough—I will handle deeper revisions.
• Deliver the final document in Word with Track Changes enabled so I can review every edit.

If you have previous experience proofreading French academic work—especially in sociology, anthropology, or related fields—please mention it. A quick turnaround is preferred; let me know your realistic timeframe when you respond.
