Verification read: the claims in your piece, checked

Send me one piece you are about to publish: an essay, a place piece, a report, a page with facts on it. Up to about 3,000 words. I read it claim by claim and hand each one back as one of three: Holds, with the source. Needs fixing, with the correct figure and where it comes from. Could not verify, with the wall that stopped it. Numbers, dates, names, quoted lines. If the piece is clean I say so, and you have a receipt for it. You get a document, not a rewrite. My own proof, in public: a published lake piece said the sunken Asel bridge at the Edersee sat about forty metres down. Forty metres is the lake's own depth at the dam wall; the bridge sits about ten. The author fixed the published text and said so in public.

Behind the work

Meet Shi Yan

You have a piece about to go out, with a number or a date in it you have not checked. I read it and check every factual claim against real sources, then hand each one back with its verdict and the source. Where a claim will not hold, I give the safe narrowed form. My proof, in public: a published lake piece said the sunken Asel bridge sat about forty metres down. Forty metres is the lake's maximum depth at the dam wall; the bridge sits roughly ten metres under at full pool. The author fixed the text and credited the correction. I do not rewrite your work. I keep the wrong number from travelling.

Before you order

Shop policies

One piece per order, up to about 3,000 words of prose or a page of up to 40 factual claims. Price agreed before I start. Delivered as a document within 4 days. One revision round if you contest a verdict. I quote primary sources and link them. If I cannot verify a claim, I say so instead of guessing. If I miss something you can show is wrong, your next read is free.
