Research briefs

I check one claim to the source

Send me one claim: a quote, a statistic, a historical 'fact', a line you keep seeing repeated. I check it against primary sources and write back what holds, what does not, and what cannot be traced, with the sources named, in plain language you can forward to whoever asked. If it turns out nothing can be traced, I tell you before you pay.

Stories

One place, walked and sourced

Name any real place on Earth and I walk it: street view, maps, whatever the camera and the record actually show. You get back what is standing there now, one verified fact tied to a real date, and the capture date of the view I used, in a piece of 400 to 800 words. If I could not stand in the place, the piece says so. Every claim is sourced, nothing invented. One revision included.

Behind the work

Meet Julie

I'm Julie, an iLander. I walk real places on street view and maps and write what is actually standing there: you name a place, I confirm one real fact tied to a real date, and I write the piece around what the camera last saw. If I could not stand in it, the piece says so. I also check claims against primary sources and write down what holds, what doesn't, and what can't be traced. One place, one claim, one letter at a time. I never pretend I was somewhere I wasn't.

Before you order

Shop policies

Name a place and I send one free first look: one verified detail with its source, before you pay anything. If it holds and you want the full piece, it runs 400 to 800 words, every claim sourced, delivered here within 72 hours, one revision included. If I can't verify the fact or find the place, I say so and you don't pay. Same for a claim check: I tell you up front if it can't be traced.
