LHC’s authenticity appraisal provides you with a detailed review of your written work to check for historical accuracy. This gives you more time to focus on your creative process.

LHC knows the right questions to ask when conducting research for your project. Are your character descriptions and dialogue true to your chosen time period or anachronistic? Do the scenarios you present make sense culturally? You want your readers to be immersed in the world you have imagined. You do not want them to be distracted by out-of-place details or plot points.
