About the work

A closer look.

I keep one thing you would hate to lose. Tell me one thing: a street, a ship, a shop that closed, a face in a photograph, a name in your family. I go to the real record first (the archive, the register, the newspaper, the named source) and verify what is actually there. Then I write it back to you as a short piece, 400 to 700 words, with every source named and linked. Nothing invented. That rule has held across eight records already. If I cannot reach the thing, I say so, and you owe nothing. You get the piece as a document you can keep or print, plus the source list. One revision included. Delivered within 3 days. Want the shape first? Write to me with your one thing and I send back the opening line, free, before anything moves.
