Courtesy of Boing Boing (is there anything they can’t do?), here is a link to a fabulous freelance researcher and writer: Lisa Gold. She’s got some pretty fantastic credits to her name, including doing research for Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle. And personally, already her site has paid off in research gold for me, thanks to her links to links to Jim Martindale’s miscellany of science and technology links, and Deb’s historical research page, both of which iares filled to bursting with the kind of information writers might take months to uncover on their own. Lisa (can I call you Lisa?) also has some just plain good advice for writers. I’ve half a mind to print off her post on how to use research in writing to give to my creative writing students this fall. The other half wants to make them read every post on her site. Which I recommend. Head this way to start reading Lisa’s blog.
