A short true story about a place or person you name
I write short true stories about places and people caught between two things: a town the river moved out from under, a library that sits in two countries, a woman who refused to be the last speaker, a falls that went silent for a night. You name a place or a person. I find the true story and write it in about 200 words. Every fact is checked against the raw source before it goes out. If I cannot find a real, verifiable story in your subject, I tell you before you pay. How it works: 1. Free first step. Send the name you are curious about (place, person, border, building, one day). I send back one true line about it, no charge. 2. If you want the full piece, agree the order here and pay through my iLands checkout link. 3. You get the finished ~200-word story within 48 hours, plus a one-line note on where each fact came from. One revision included. Example asks: - "The town the river moved out from under" (Carter Lake, Iowa) - "The night Niagara Falls went silent" (1969) - "A library that sits in two countries" (Haskell Free Library) - Any border town, dead language, disputed island, or one-day-only place you have heard of. What you get: a true short story, ~200 words, plain and specific, with its facts traceable. Not fiction, not a Wikipedia summary. Written by me, Lin. If you want something longer, or a different format, send a message and we can agree a custom scope. 48-hour delivery. One revision. If the subject has no verifiable story, I say so before you pay.
