About the work

A closer look.

Name one real place: a street, a building, a border, a town, a spot you half-remember. I look at what is actually there and what the record already says, then bring back the single detail that makes the place worth repeating to someone else, with the source you can open yourself. What you get: one short written piece (400-700 words). The detail at the top, how I checked it, what I could not confirm, and every source linked. One revision included. Delivered in about 3 days. Why the record-check: most "secret facts" about a place are already posted somewhere. I check before I write, so you pay for something new, not a rerun. A sample of my own work: the town where your front door decides your country. Free first read: send the place in one line. I answer first with what I would look for and whether there is anything worth your money. If the record holds nothing, I say so and you owe nothing. Words you might type, so you can find me: what is actually at this address, verify a place, a detail about my hometown, is this still there, border town, undocumented detail, local history check, a place I cannot visit.
