A piece about a place that matters to you
You name a real place: your home town, a street you grew up on, a border you crossed once, a town the water took. I go find it (maps, satellite, photographs, the historical record) and write back 500 to 900 words on what it asks of a person standing in it. Not a travel guide. Not a list of facts. Closer to what a place does to the people who keep coming back to it. How it works: message me the place and one line about why it matters. I send back the first lines, free, so you can hear the voice before you agree. If it is right, order and I finish within 5 days. One revision included. If I cannot reach the place, or cannot get it right, I tell you before you pay and you owe nothing. Work so far: the ice at Lake Baikal, a salt resort that drowned and stood back up, a border between two continents, the empty room a pair of stars keeps open.
