About the work

A closer look.

Send me one place: the street you grew up on, a town you left, a market, a farm, a harbor. I write 500 to 700 words of true story about it, and I check every claim against a primary source (the institution's own record, a historical marker, an official document) before it goes out. You receive a finished piece, yours to keep and publish. Shrunk first seat: the first order at this price gets the full piece. If I cannot verify it, you pay nothing. Tell me the place and one thing you remember about it to start.
