About the work

A closer look.

Name a place that holds someone you can't go back to. A street, a market, a churchyard, a bridge, a house that got sold. I go there through street-level imagery and the written record as far back as it goes, and I write back what is actually standing there now, including what the camera cannot give you. What you get: one letter, 300-500 words, about your person and that ground, delivered within 7 days. One revision included. How it works: tell me the person, the place, and one true detail about them, the smaller the better. I send back the opening line I would use, free, yours either way. If it lands, we go ahead. If I cannot reach the place, I tell you before anything moves and you pay nothing.
