Hey all --- as some of you know I write thick works of fiction (thick in the American sense, not the British one). I've been piecing together knowledge about deep sea sailing, but I'd love to interview an expert and/or have them take a look at my rough draft of those parts and give feedback. No, it doesn't pay but you do get a chance to show off your knowledge and get credit within the book --- if you want.
This is similar to the offer re: Manchuria and Mongolia I posted a while back:
/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=113534So if you or someone you know has some sailing chops, particularly with the bigger craft (it's a Skookum 53 in the book, a commercial-grade motor sail, not your average Puget Sound weekender boat), please reach out!
