Most historical questions don't arrive all at once. They surface mid-scene, mid-chapter, mid-revision. The Three-Hour Retainer Block gives you a historian in your corner throughout the writing process — available in focused Zoom sessions or detailed email responses, whenever your manuscript needs it.
Three hours of dedicated historical consultancy to use however your manuscript demands. Zoom sessions, email responses, world-building deep-dives, scene-specific research — you set the agenda. No expiry date. No pressure. Just your historian, ready when you are.
For specific questions, world-building sessions, or ongoing support as you draft. Think of it as having your own historian and researcher on call.
A block of 3-hour sessions to use whenever you need them
Available as Zoom sessions or emails
Includes follow-up emails, including 10-20 visual sources and/or bibliographical sources
Ideal for specific questions on fashion, objects, language, architecture, social etiquette, and visual culture
Stuck on a detail? Need to know what your protagonist would wear to a funeral in 1650, or what a specific painting signifies about a family's wealth? We will discuss your setting, and I will provide sensory anchors—objects, textures, and architectural details—to ground your scenes.
You are free to use your three hours in a variety of ways to suit your needs. For example:
To discuss your specific questions via Zoom
To receive email responses to your questions
To discuss a topic in-depth
To brainstorm your ideas
To receive feedback on up to 6500 words (counts towards 1 hour of your allotted time)
To discuss beta reader feedback
Zoom sessions can be 30 minutes or 1 hour. You will be given a link to my Google Calendar appointment scheduling page so you can easily book your sessions. Zoom calls can be booked no sooner than 48 hours before the session date. Please ensure you share your questions at least 48 hours before your session.
* To help you control how you spend your time, I’ll give you access to the time tracker I use, so you can monitor your sessions.
