Subject Matter Consultations
Everyone's heard the advice to "write what you know." But what if there's a story you want to tell that involves something you have no firsthand knowledge of? How do you know if it's accurate? How do you know if you're conveying the experience authentically? That's where subject matter experts fit in.
