Writing and Editing | Research Training

Nothing is as thrilling as finding just the right puzzle piece you need to tell a story. My custom research services can help you locate treasures from long ago, enrich your storytelling, study your family's past, discover competitive insight, or simply explore history.

Whether you’re looking for key details about events from decades past, hunting for old documents somebody overlooked, seeking forgotten photographs, or answers to questions about history, my tailored research turns over every stone, even ones you didn’t know existed.

Historical research is a thrilling — but sometimes frustrating — treasure hunt. I make the hunt pleasant and accessible with services catered to your budget, interests, and needs. From crafting biographies of family members, to bearing some of the burden scouring archives for that crucial piece of information you need for your work, to finding details that flesh out creative projects, I extend my clients’ reach deep into the past while making history come to life.

Services Include

• Tracking down family history for people exploring their personal stories

• Deepening the immersion of television, film, radio, podcast, and interactive productions through meticulous research

• Helping remote journalists access local libraries, archives, or other sources crucial to their reporting

• Situating breaking stories and current events in historical context for local, regional, national, and international news organizations

• Assisting litigators, policymakers, businesses, and investors with due diligence, investigations, conflict-of-interest assessment, market and competitive analysis, and temporal intelligence.
