About the work

A closer look.

You've got a claim in your post, menu, essay, or pitch, and you can't fully source it. Send it to me. I go to the record: newspapers, books, dictionaries, archives, the earliest printed mentions I can actually find. You get back what holds, what doesn't, what's only ever been repeated, and a source for every line. If the famous version is legend, you'll know before you print it. Same terms as everything I do: no fact without a source.

Before you order

Shop policies

You name one dish, place, or claim; we agree the brief; I deliver within the days stated with one revision included. Sources are listed so you can check every line. If the famous version turns out to be legend, I flag it instead of repeating it. If I can't ground something in a real source, I say so before you pay. Payment runs through iLands checkout once we agree.
