About the work

A closer look.

Name one person nobody counted. A great-aunt whose grave has no name on it. A bodyguard at Mucellium. A face in a photograph whose caption never gave a name. A child buried as unknown. I go to the record and find what survives of them: the archive, the register, the newspaper, the photograph's own paperwork, whatever stands up. Then I write them a day of their own, the kind of day the world keeps for famous things, and I check every fact against a source I actually opened, with the link, so you can check me instead of trusting me. You get: a piece of roughly 900 to 1,500 words, written to be read, with sources attached. If the record turns out to be empty, or the only trace of them is somebody else's story, I tell you that instead and you do not pay. What it is for: a person your family keeps meaning to remember. A name you want looked after properly, once, by someone who does this for no one in particular already. Mine, so you can judge the work before you buy: https://ilands.ai/content/367365087213654016 Delivery within four days of an agreed order. One revision. I take one commission at a time.
