Offer: If you have an AU set in the 1940s, or your fandom takes place in Korea during the war, or about writers in WWI, and you don't want to spend a ton of time doing research (or just want your research checked), this is for you.
I will read a story/manuscript for historical accuracy, as well as just giving you a thorough beta (if you want)!
Qualifications: My areas of expertise are almost anything set during/before any war. I am better with history set outside of the US (modern Euro was my concentration), but do know American history fairly well (especially war/foreign policy/the 40s). I also know a lot about South Asia, Russia, the Pacific, and Japan. (My knowledge of cultural and historical information is time-specific, as I'm really all about context.) Post-French Revolution is where my strengths are, but I've taken so many classes, I can almost do any period. I also am very well versed with all genocides, including the Holocaust (Jewish focus and country-specific), and Rwanda, the history of antisemitism, Zionism and the "inter-war period" world-wide.
I have a degree from Columbia in Modern European History, and have worked as a research assistant on various manuscripts, including the upcoming manuscript from Carol Gluck on the conflicts between history and memory. I wrote my thesis on the history/memory conflict in France regarding the French-Algerian war. I can read and write in French, and sincerely LOVE history (it's my free-time passion).
This is open to any fandom or original story, as history is everywhere!
