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.

Sorry, we do not allow soliciting. You are free to get help in this section. Also, posting here allows information you are given to be checked for accuracy. You could end up paying someone for junk that would make you a laughing stock.
