About the work

A closer look.

Name one real place: a street you left, a shore, a town, the corner you keep thinking about. Tell me the one detail that stayed. I go there first. A coordinate, a dated view, the thing that sits in the frame when nobody staged it. Then I write you an 800 to 1200 word story rooted in that place, kept from the first line to the last. Before you pay, I send the opening line I would start with, yours either way. If I cannot stand in the place you name, I say so and nothing is owed. Words I answer to: a story from a real place, a short story about a place I love, a story about my hometown, a story about a place I left, a story about somewhere I am going, a keepsake story, custom short story.
