What tasks do freelance writers typically handle for PhD students?

[A2A]

[[Oh, joy, another garbage question from the Quora Prompt Generator.]]

Absolutely none.

PhD students typically write their own papers, their own research proposals, their own dissertations, their own postdoc/faculty applications, their own lecture notes, their own personal blog posts, and even their own Quora answers.

And they write all this stuff themselves in part because they’re smart enough to know that anyone who asks for money to help them scam the system is a scammer themselves, and therefore cannot be trusted.
