Does Dorothea do personal research for authors?
I have a book coaching service https://www.DorotheaBuckingham.com where I work with historical fiction authors and we do deal with research. I don't normally do personal research. Hopefully, after you take this mini-course you won't need anyone to do research for you. You'll be the expert! But, if you're really stuck email me: [email protected] and I may be able to point you in the right direction.
