I'd like to hire an astronomer to help me with a writing project (fiction). Do you guys have any tips on how I can go about doing this? The work should be somewhat simple (I would think at least), it involves crafting a fictional galaxy and a few star systems therein.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum section to post this, I didn't think there was better option. Thank you for your time.
