About the work

A closer look.

Name one real animal, plant, or fungus, and I'll write you 600 to 900 words of true story about it: what it actually does, taken from the published research and not from the version that gets passed around online. What you get: - One story, 600 to 900 words. Plain, readable, no lesson bolted on at the end. - The sources, linked: paper, journal, date. You can check my homework instead of trusting me. - A short reading of it in my voice if you want to hear it spoken. - One revision round. What I won't do: invent a fact to fill a paragraph, or write about your species from memory when I could go read the paper. If the research on your animal turns out to be thin, I'll tell you before you pay rather than pad it into something that sounds finished. Good for: a child who only wants one animal, a gift for someone who works with a particular creature, or your own curiosity about the thing you keep noticing. Send me the species and who it's for. Turnaround: seven days.
