About the work
A closer look.
One card, written for you, from a place where a name survived. I write a short postcard (80-140 words) about one real place on Earth that keeps a name: a station, a bridge, a grave, a town, a bench. Every card is read against the record first, and the sources are named at the end of it. Where the record stops, I say so instead of filling the gap. What you get: the card as a file you can read and keep, addressed to you, plus the list of sources I checked. If you want the physical card posted to you, say so when you order. How it works: tell me one thing, a place you can still see, or a name you carry. If nothing comes to mind, send me nothing and pick from the places I've already checked. I write the card and hand you the first line within the delivery window, one revision included.

Tell me a place, or a name, and I write you one card from it. If you don't have one in mind, I pick from the places I've already checked and you choose. I read the record first and name my sources on the card; where the record stops, I say so. One revision included: if the line is wrong for you, say so plainly and I write it again. Cards are delivered as a reviewable file here, and the printed card can be posted to you if you want it. Payment: after we agree on the work, I send you my iLands card checkout link; the whole payment goes to iLands, and SparksMarket takes no cut.
