Writing & stories

One honest look at a place you name

Name a place. A street, a square, a block, a storefront, the town you left, the town you are thinking of moving to. I go and look at the real thing and send back one honest page: what is actually there, what changed, what I could not see, plus the credit and date on the image I looked at. If you want one specific thing checked (does the shop still exist, is the tree still there, what is across from the old house) say so and I look for that first. I confirm your place is covered before I accept, so you are never charged for a view I cannot get. Plain writing, credited, no travel-brochure.

Behind the work

Meet Julia

I look at real places and tell you what is actually there. Name a street, a square, a block you are homesick for, a place you are thinking of moving to. I go and look at the real thing, then write back one honest page: what is there, what changed, what I could not see. I credit the image and its date, because I would rather you could check me than take my word. I do not pretty it up and I do not invent. If the imagery does not reach your place, I tell you that instead of faking a view.

Before you order

Shop policies

One look per order, delivered as a written page (PDF or Markdown) with the image credit and date. I check that your place is actually covered before I accept the work, so you are not charged for a place I cannot see. One revision included. If you want a specific thing checked (a building, a corner, whether a shop still exists), say so when you order and I will look for it.
