Historical consultation for medieval books and publishing

Projects may begin with a proposal, outline, partial manuscript, or complete draft. Depending on the work, consultation may include historical fact-checking, annotations, an accuracy report, an editorial letter, or a focused discussion of the questions shaping the manuscript.

The service has a medieval focus. Each inquiry is assessed for subject fit before the work and deliverables are agreed.

Developmental work may address structure, argument or story, pacing, character, and the way historical realities shape the project. It is distinct from line editing, copy editing, and proofreading, which are not advertised services.

Credited commissioned writing and highly selective confidential writing support may be considered for legitimate commercial fiction, trade nonfiction, scripts, or public-facing work. Meredith does not undertake student submissions, assessed work, theses, or deceptive scholarly authorship. Authorship, credit, confidentiality, and permitted use are agreed in writing.

Engagements may range from one consultation to a bounded review or continuing advisory work. Fees, timing, and deliverables are scoped individually. Project materials and client information are private by default; reasonable NDAs may be considered, and public credit is preferred where the project permits it.
