Science/Sci-Fi Writing Consultant

10


10 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Dec 05, 2016

So you want to write something science-y but you aren't sure you know enough about the subject to write technobabble that will stand up to scrutiny. Or you already wrote something but you want to make sure it's plausible enough that the science police of the internet won't form a mob with torches and slide rules outside your house. Where do you turn for help?

That's where I come in. I will review your work in whichever medium you're using: text, video, artwork, music, etc. (I draw the line at semaphore) I can then make suggestions about what you can change/include/remove so that your cool science thing will stand up to inspection.

I'm also highly familiar with both Star Trek and Star Wars (Legends and Disney), and can provide canon-checking services for those as well. Consultation for Firefly and Doctor Who is also available.

Training & Qualifications


I am an engineer, and consider myself to be highly science-literate. If I don't know something about a particular subject, I can almost guarantee that I know someone who does. I will refund Simbi for any session in which I couldn't provide significant help.

Availability & Preferences


Evenings and weekends

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

There's not much intersection between my STEM field and the artistic world, so it's nice to be part of a community including art and music that I can interact with and contribute to.

About Tim Fisher

I am a PC and Xbox gamer, a musician, a dungeon master (dice, not leather), a search-and-rescue professional, an amateur fictional linguist, a Twitch streamer, a League of Legends player, and in my sp...are time, an engineer designing scientific equipment for NASA missions. I'm working on my Master's in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and I'm employed by their Engineering and Innovative Technology Development group. I'm still in my mid-20s, so I'm not a world-renowned expert, but I know a thing or two about science and technology. I'm a decent tutor, I've been building computers since high school, and I've read more Star Wars books alone than most people have read fictional books, period. In short, I know what I'm doing with the services I'm offering. If I can't do what you need, either I know someone who can, or you'll get a refund on any Simbi you've paid me for the project. That's my personal guarantee.show more
