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 utilize old-school magazine journalism fact-checking standards and are highly collaborative and dedicated to getting 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.
