Book Research Services
Rigorous research support for fiction and non-fiction where accuracy carries the story.
What This Service Is
What it is
Historical, cultural and factual research, verification, citation and reference preparation for authors and editorial teams.
Who it is for
For historical novelists, memoirists, non-fiction authors and anyone writing beyond their direct experience.
Why authors need it
