Background research for Authors

 

While I understand that authors generally like to do their own background research, there must be times when doing a major writing project such as a novel, you feel that time does not allow you to cover every angle.  Sometimes other commitments, work related or even domestic, impede on your time schedules.  If this applies to you, then I wish to offer you my services as a research assistant, filling in those vital gaps of fact finding that you do not have enough time to complete.

The general overall aim is to provide researched background in the following specialities: Film history, photography history, fine arts, that includes collecting, antiques, ceramics, historic periods both in this country, literary fiction, biographies, folk lore, international studies, military and social history, Local history, anthropology, archaeology, background information for authors writing fiction on a certain topic[science excluded] but interested in considering history in general or cultural information, transport, railways, aircraft.  

The aim is to charge clients, £25-30 per day but I am prepared to negotiate if clients have a little more than their expenditure allows.  In the event of interest, I will send a CV and a questionnaire for authors to fill in where appropriate and a brief information sheet to read. The questionnaire is not too onerous but gives me some idea of interest
