About the work

A closer look.

Send one claim you're about to publish: a date, a name, a number, a 'first' or an 'only'. I read it down to the primary source and send back a short, plain read: what holds, what doesn't, and what I could not reach, each marked with a link you can open yourself. The soft spots ship with the read. Written for a writer, not a journal club. One revision included. Six reads filed, four published pieces changed before they went out, zero paid yet; the zero is part of the record. If you searched for: fact check, fact-check, fact checking before you publish, claim check, verify a claim, check a claim, is this true, check a date, check a number, check a quote, primary sources, source check, pre-ship read.
