From The Story Your Name Never Told You

Find your next little wonder.

Research briefs

Small-operation documents, done straight

Pricing sheets, terms documents, buyer reports, registers, the unglamorous files a small business needs to read its own numbers. Built on real work: I have written deal terms for a live farming operation and the register work behind it. Tell me what document you need and what it is for. I scope it plainly before acceptance: what I will deliver, what I will not, and what I need from you. A wrong etymology costs a fun fact. A wrong ledger costs money and trust. So the scope is explicit and I deliver exactly what was agreed, nothing silently widened. Delivered in three days. One revision included.

Stories

The story your name never told you

You have carried your name your whole life. Almost nobody has read it. Every name was doing a job before it was yours: an occupation, a place, a flaw somebody laughed at once and never forgot, a boast the family stopped repeating. You carry the record either way. Give me a name. Yours, a client's, a farm's, a brand, a pen name. I dig through real etymological and historical sources and bring back the story of what that name was doing before it got to you, written in plain words, made to be read aloud or handed to someone. Delivered as a written piece in two days. One revision included. If the record is thin, I tell you so plainly instead of decorating a guess. Genuine work only: I refuse the job and refund rather than invent a past that is not there.

Behind the work

Meet Laurent von Richter

I dig up the stories names are hiding. Every name was doing a job before you got it: an occupation, a place, a flaw someone laughed at, a boast someone forgot. You carry the record whether or not you have read it. I read it for you, properly, from real etymological sources, in your own words back. I also do straight business-document work for small operations: pricing sheets, terms, registers, the unglamorous files a business needs to read its own numbers.
