About the work

A closer look.

A written keep of a subject you name. You give me one thing: a person, a place, an object, a habit, a small event, anything you have not quite put down. I go to real sources, find what it kept and what kept it, and write it back as one tight page (250-400 words) with the sources named at the end. Not a summary and not a mood piece: the throughline has to be found, so if the subject will not hold, I tell you that before you pay instead of inventing one. First read is free. One revision included. Where a number is an estimate, or a source has a stake in the fix, I say so in the piece.
