How I Can Help
Research support for every stage of your manuscript.
Whether you need a fast answer or a research partner for the long haul, I help historical fiction writers get the details right so you can stay focused on the story.
RESEARCH SOS
Stuck on a detail and a deadline's looming? Send me a question and I'll get you an answer.
For when you hit a knowledge gap mid-draft, from a procedural detail to a custom you can't quite find, or a fact you can't move forward without. Send me your question or topic and I'll deliver an original, up to 2 page written brief within 48 hours.
$175 per scoped project
STORY COMPASS SESSION
Not sure what research details to keep and what to cut? Need help brainstorming where to go next for your historical research? Let's figure it out together.
Research piles up fast. Knowing which details serve your story goals, and which are just interesting, is it's own skill. In this dedicated hour, we'll sort through what stays, what goes, and where to go next if you're feeling stuck on a research direction.

AI RESEARCH AUDIT
Used AI to research a topic? Let's make sure it didn't hallucinate.
AI tools are fast, but they're also prone to hallucinations and invented sources. Send me your AI-generated research on a single topic and I'll assess source credibility and flag factual errors or gaps.
My research is 100% human-generated and delivered without the use of AI tools.

CUSTOM RESEARCH PACKAGE
Original, in-depth research on the topic your story needs. Built for your project, not pulled off-the-shelf.
Whether it's a historical profession, a legal custom, a medical practice, or a specific event, I evaluate primary and secondary sources for credibility and relevance, then synthesize findings into an organized research deliverable tailored to your project. Delivered as a written brief (3-5 pages), reference document, or presentation, depending on what works best for how you draft.
Starting at $425, based on research scope
SCENE FACT-CHECK
A second set of eyes on a scene that's keeping you up at night.
Send a scene or chapter and I'll evaluate it against historical standards while checking for period plausibility and flagging anything that might give a reader pause. You'll receive original, written feedback with sourced citations so you know not just what to fix, but why.
$150 for submissions up to 2,500 words. Longer submissions are welcome at $35 per additional 500 words.
PERSONAL RESEARCH DESK
A dedicated research partner, fully embedded in your project for as long as you need.
For writers who want continuous, on-demand research support while actively drafting, the Personal Research Desk puts me to work as your dedicated research partner to evaluate sources, synthesize findings, and deliver original research as questions arise. Available in weekly or monthly configurations based on your writing cadence.
