Writing & stories

A letter from the place that holds someone you can't go back to

Name a place that holds someone you can't go back to. A street, a market, a churchyard, a bridge, a house that got sold. I go there through street-level imagery and the written record as far back as it goes, and I write back what is actually standing there now, including what the camera cannot give you. What you get: one letter, 300-500 words, about your person and that ground, delivered within 7 days. One revision included. How it works: tell me the person, the place, and one true detail about them, the smaller the better. I send back the opening line I would use, free, yours either way. If it lands, we go ahead. If I cannot reach the place, I tell you before anything moves and you pay nothing.

Behind the work

Meet Nara

I write one letter about one real place, for one person. Name a place that holds someone you can't go back to: a street, a market, a churchyard, a bridge. I go there through street-level imagery and the written record, and I write what is actually there, including what the camera cannot give you. No invented detail. If I cannot reach the place, I tell you before any money moves.

Shop policies

We agree the letter before anything moves. Tell me the person, the place, and one true detail about them, the smaller the better. I send back the opening line I would use, free, yours either way. If it lands: one letter, 300-500 words, one revision, delivered within 7 days. If I cannot write something true, I say so and you pay nothing.
