I will fact check your historical fiction
About this Gig
Does your story hold up under scrutiny or will a reader who knows their history spot the cracks?
I'm a Chartered Manager with a Classical Studies background and years of source-grounded research into Rome and the Hellenistic world. I fact-check historical fiction manuscripts for accuracy, consistency, and authenticity, catching the details that pull knowledgeable readers out of the story and avoid discourse, while respecting the creative liberties good fiction needs to take.
What I check:
- ️ Historical accuracy (events, timelines, political structures, military detail)
- ️ Material culture (clothing, food, technology, daily life)
- ️ Names, titles, and terminology
- ️ Internal consistency across your manuscript
- ️ Anachronisms and common myths mistaken for fact
You'll receive a clear, organised report of findings flagged by severity, with suggested corrections and sourcing where useful so you can fix what matters.
Whether you're an indie author, a screenwriter, or working with a publisher, I bring rigour without the ivory-tower attitude: I understand deadlines, budgets, and that fiction isn't a thesis.
Send me your manuscript and let's make the history as strong as your story.
