Fact checking
As a contrast to solitary writing, I love working with authors to fact-check their books. Most recently, I've had the pleasure of fact-checking Eva Holland's Nerve. I've also checked Sandy Allen's A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise, Alice Robb's Why We Dream, and Cabin Porn: Inside, and have fact checked for publications like Scientific American, Knowable, High Country News, Pacific Standard, Cancer Today, and bioGraphic.
