Illness Authenticity Consultation Service
A boutique consulting service pairing fiction writers with medical professionals (doctors, nurses, therapists, chronic illness patients) for 1-on-1 narrative consultation calls. The consultant reviews the writer's manuscript scenes involving illness, asks about character arc and plot needs, then provides specific medical/behavioral guidance tailored to that character's condition, timeline, and story function—not generic medical facts.

Value Proposition
Replaces hours of scattered research with 2-3 focused calls from someone who understands both medicine AND storytelling needs. Writers get narrative-specific guidance (e.g., 'your character's delirium should peak on day 4, which means this plot point lands here'). Medical consultants get paid for specialized expertise. Beats generic websites because it's interactive, character-focused, and plot-aware.
Target Audience
Published and aspiring novelists, screenwriters, and memoir authors writing about serious illness; primarily literary fiction and prestige TV/film writers who prioritize authenticity

Writers struggle to authentically portray illness in fiction without medical expertiseFiction writers need to depict serious illnesses realistically in their stories but lack medical knowledge, causing them to either create inaccurate portrayals that break reader immersion or spend excessive time researching. Current solutions like generic medical websites don't provide narrative-specific guidance on how illness affects character behavior, pacing, and plot development in storytelling contexts.
