Fact Checking - When is enough, enough?

Hello everyone,I'm in the process of finishing my manuscript for a book of essays on restoring nature in urban settings. In the past, I've done all my own fact checking prior to publishing stand-alone essays, but for this project, I'm feeling extremely nervous.  Maybe it's first book jitters, but I feel I need to somehow do more than what I usually do (which is rely on research papers, books by experts, personal experience / accounts which are labeled as such, and, if possible, experts to…See More

Profile Information

Who I am:
I've been writing and publishing since the early 1990s. My main focus is creative non-fiction (nature writing, memoir, personal essays), but I also write fiction and flash non-fiction (for lack of a better term). I was formerly self-employed as a grant writer and may have to return to that at some point. For now, I am a full-time writer and mother.
Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:
My essays have been published in magazines such as Pilgrimage, The Fourth River, Tikkun, and Under the Sun, as well as anthologies such as An Intricate Weave: Women Write on Girls and Girlhood, the American Nature Writing series (1996, 1997, and 2000 editions) and Just Like a Girl! “Salvage” (published in EarthLight, winter 2001) was selected for “Other Notable Science and Nature Writing of 2001” in the Best American Science and Nature Writing 2002, edited by Natalie Angier (guest editor) and Tim Folger (series editor). I received a 1996 Seattle Arts Commission literary award, a 2001 Artist Trust Literature Fellowship (Washington State), and am nearing completion of my manuscript, Turning Homeward: Restoring Nature in the Urban Wild.
Media outlets that I currently write for:
I do not write for commercial news outlets, but I do publish in a wide range of print and online literary journals or other venues.
My writing is:
Fiction, Nonfiction, Memoir
Outlets where I review books, TV, or film:
Not yet, but I would love to start.
Services I offer to other writers:
I am always open to considering critique exchanges or other writing-related barters.
I'm part of these writers' groups or salons:
Internet Writing Workshop, Seattle WriterGrrrls
My professional associations:
None at this time, but I will soon be re-joining Northwest Science Writers Association (NSWA) and others.
I found out about She Writes from:
Sorry, I don't remember how I first learned of SheWrites. Possibly from the Seattle Writergrrls Listserv
