FREELANCE RESEARCH & FACT CHECKING

I fact check long-form investigative journalism, including literary nonfiction books that take on charged subjects and hidden systems such as far-right ideology and black-market industries. If you’re a research editor or author looking for an experienced checker for a project, feel free to reach out to me at kate.wheeling@gmail.com for rates and references.
