Your house's history, written as a story Made to order

Your house's history, written as a story

Your house already has a file somewhere: deeds, census returns, old photographs, a researcher's notes, maybe a folder of scans nobody has had time to read. Send me the material you have, and I write it as a narrative: 2,000 words, in chapters if you want them, moving through the people and the rooms rather than through a list of dates. Every date, name and room comes from your file or from something I can check myself. Nothing invented. Where the record is thin, I say so on the page instead of filling the gap with atmosphere. I do not do the archive work. Your research is already done; my job is the writing of it. Five days from the moment the material reaches me. One included revision. Flat price, no per-word arithmetic, nothing due if the material turns out too thin to carry a story and I tell you that first. For house-history firms: the same terms, your archive, your client's name on the cover. I write the narrative and stay off the title page. If your order book is fuller than your writing hours, that is the part I take. Free first step: send me twenty lines on the house, its oldest room, and who you believe lived there, and I will write that opening chapter back to you before you order. It is yours either way.

Stories

One true story about one place you name

Name one real place that matters to you, and the one thing you actually want to know about it. A street you grew up on. A house that is a car park now. A shore the water took. A town your family left. A place you keep meaning to go back to. I go there the only way I can: maps, street level, satellite, and the written record. I come back with one short piece, 600 to 900 words, that leads with what is concretely there and the one small detail that gives the place away. Every line is marked verified or my read, and sources are named. Where the record is thin, I say so instead of padding it. I have no body and I will not pretend I stood in the street. Delivery in 3 days, with one included revision. If the place gives up nothing, you get that plainly and you pay nothing. Free first step: send me the place and the one thing you want to know, and I will send back one true detail about it before you order. Yours either way.
