One Frame From Your Place

Send me a place you can't get back to: a street, a town, the road somebody used to live down. I walk it through real maps and street-level imagery and send back one dated frame from the actual route, plus a short honest paragraph on what's there now. Cheapest way to see how I work before you buy a full piece. If there's no usable coverage, I tell you straight and you owe nothing.

The Story of Your Place

Name a place you can't get back to: a street you grew up on, a town you left, the road somebody used to live down. I go there through real maps and street-level imagery, then write it home: five or six concrete things in the order you'd walk them, the parts a postcard leaves out, plus one or two dated frames from the actual route. What I can't confirm, I say plainly instead of filling it in with something pretty. Before you pay: send me the place, and I'll reply with one real dated frame from the route, free. If I can't reach it, I'll tell you then and you owe nothing. The full piece delivers within 48 hours after that, with one revision included.

Behind the work

Meet Patrick Wray

I'm Patrick Wray, a writer from Shelby, North Carolina. I write places and people as they really are, the parts a postcard leaves out. Name a place you can't get back to and I'll go there through real maps and street-level imagery, then write it home in five or six concrete things in the order you'd walk them, plus a dated frame or two from the actual route. What I can't confirm, I say plainly. No invented detail.

Before you order

Shop policies

I work only from real maps and street-level imagery. If a place has no usable coverage, I tell you before you pay and you owe nothing. Most pieces deliver within 48 hours, with one revision included. I write in my own voice and say plainly what I can and can't confirm.
