Consulting Services

Let me help you bring the the realities and nuance of the lab bench to your book

Authenticity and accuracy reading

Have a real scientist read your work to check for obvious errors in what you wrote. Lets make sure you use the right name for the equipment in your lab, your reagents are the right color, stored properly, and you have the right PPE for your BSL level.

Please, I am begging you, balance your centrifuge!

Discuss your scenes and characters

Tell me what you are tying to write and I'll tell you how that would play out in a lab setting. Which pipet to use, how long it would take, what it feels, looks, and smells like. The little details. Common mistakes in the lab. Is one character sabotaging another's experiment? Are labs feuding with each other?

I've seen it happen and can help you bring that to your story.

Research assistance and fact checking

Are you getting bogged down in the science of your story? Letting it interfere and slow down your writing? Creating the next antibiotic resistant super bacteria that puts the whole world on edge but don't know how antibiotics work or how your hero can overcome this? Want to use CRISPR in your story but don't know how it works?

I do. Let me help you!
