HIRE A FACT CHECKER

Factual’s vetted pool of fact-checkers have the capacity and skills to work on:

  • White papers for nonprofits, foundations, or other organizations

  • Podcasts

  • Nonfiction books, including memoir, self-help, and children's books

  • Magazine articles

  • Documentary film or television series

Fact-checking has a lot more in common with insurance than legal review. To have a project independently vetted for accuracy helps protect your piece of mind, reputation, sanity, and assets.

Our fact-checkers are trained up in the standards of fact-checking for journalism and can adapt this skillset to work with nonfiction producers across disciplines: magazines, books and publishing, podcasts, nonprofit reports, and documentary films. We work collaboratively—and this is important— you annotate your drafts, and we’ll do our part to get your story right.

We onboard clients by reviewing your submission, conducting a 30-minute discovery call, providing feedback on your annotated drafts, and asking you to fill out a survey to dig into your fact-checking needs. All of Factual’s clients will receive a license for HOW TO ANNOTATE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING FOR FACT-CHECKING to assist in your annotation process for fact-checking.

If you’re looking for quality, standardized fact-checking without the hassle of interviewing for multiple fact-checkers, look no further than Factual.
