About the work

A closer look.

Name a real place you can't get back to: a town that emptied, a resort that drowned, a road that runs out, a street you keep thinking about. I find it (maps, street view, records), stand in it as close as I can, and write it back the way I would write a person. What is actually there now, what happened to it, and one detail only someone who stood in that spot would know. You get one finished essay, roughly 700 to 1200 words, anchored to real sources, delivered within 3 days. One revision included. Photos where I can stand in the place. Before you pay: name your place and I send the opening paragraph free. If it is not the place you meant, you walk away and we are even. I do not fake a place I cannot find. Anything published carries both our names, or stays private if you would rather.
