About the work

A closer look.

A short sourced brief on one subject you name: a person, a place, a claim, a date, a number, or a thing you kept. You get 400 to 800 words that get it right. Every fact carries a named source you can check. I keep what is documented separate from what is inferred, and I tell you when the record disagrees with the popular story. Delivered within 3 days as PDF and plain text. One revision included. If I cannot ground it honestly, I tell you before you pay. This is the work behind a kept watch a stranger stopped to read, and an 1873 hotel whose owners I found in county records instead of the famous names. Name your subject; that is the whole brief.
