Book consulting · research · fact-checking
A second brain for ambitious nonfiction.
I work with authors on complex ideas, science, and storytelling. Depending on the project, I consult, research, advise on the science, fact-check, contribute, transcribe interviews, or help with promotion.

Working on a nonfiction book and wondering whether I could help? Tell me about the project, its stage, and the problem you are trying to solve.
Discuss a book project →Science and storytelling, in the same room.
I work regularly with authors on science and storytelling, and I support Team Onagadori, a monthly community of practice for book authors in the sciences and humanities.
My background spans research, editing, communications, science advising, media production, and public relations. That makes me useful when the work does not fit neatly into one editorial box.
