Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a first-year MA student (technically not PhD yet, but working toward it), and I remember how much undergrad feedback sucked sometimes. Professors are too busy to give real comments, and friends either lie to be nice or don't know what they're looking at.

So I'm offering free peer review for a limited number of people. Here's what I can help with:

What I'm good at:
  • Argument structure (does your thesis actually make sense? do your paragraphs support it?)
  • Flow & transitions (does the paper read smoothly or jump around?)
  • Source integration (are you using quotes effectively or just dropping them in?)
  • Clarity (is your writing clear or confusing?)
  • Social Sciences & Humanities (my background is Public Health, but I've also done PoliSci, Sociology, and some Philosophy)
What I'm NOT good at:
  • Line-by-line grammar (Grammarly is better for that)
  • STEM subjects (if your paper has equations, I'm useless sorry 😅)
  • Creative writing (I'm too literal, I'll ruin your vibe)
My rules:

  1. Paper must be under 20 pages (I have my own thesis to write 😭)
  2. Give me at least 72 hours turnaround time
  3. Be open to honest feedback—I'm nice but I won't lie to you
  4. If you can, offer to review someone else's paper too (pay it forward!)
How to request:
Reply with:
  • Subject area
  • Page count
  • What you're most worried about (thesis? sources? conclusion?)
  • Deadline (please don't say "tomorrow" lol)
I'll pick 3-5 people this week. This is also low-key good for my own learning—reading other people's writing helps me see patterns in my own. 🧠

Let's help each other out! 💕
