Are you an author in need of a fact-checker for your forthcoming non-fiction book? A magazine editor looking for a freelance fact-checker? I take on occasional fact-checking projects. To inquire about rates and availability, email me at mayadusenbery@ gmail.com.

I cut my teeth as fact-checker as a fellow at Mother Jones magazine over a decade ago. Since then, I have done freelance fact-checking work for multiple magazines and non-fiction book projects. I have experience working on a wide range of topics and genres, but I'm particularly skilled at tackling work that leans heavily on scientific and social science research. I love working on health, economic justice, and feminist stories.

Books I’ve fact-checked recently include The Long Haul (Post Hill Press, 2022), Poles Apart (Random House, 2021), Sexual Justice (Metropolitan Books, 2021), The Power of Ritual (HarperOne, 2021), and The Reckoning (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2019).
