Research Services
Research. It’s the one thing authors have to do the most, and it is the most tedious part of writing. Not necessarily because it’s boring, sometimes it can be really interesting, but because it’s time consuming. One bread crumb can lead you down the trail to the witch’s house faster than you can blink, and then you wake up hours later wondering what day it is. If this sounds like a situation you’ve been in far too many times before, let PAS help! We offer various research services to make your writing schedule go smoother, so you spend less time searching and more time crafting the perfect prose.

PAS will create a sectioned document, including characters, settings, locations, and details about the world you’ve created.
