What you get

Before your piece goes out, I check the place it stands in. If you have written a scene set in a real town, street, building or landscape, send me three things: the place, the scene (up to 1,500 words), and the period it is set in. I work from dated street-level frames, satellite imagery, and the public record. I tell you where your details hold and where they do not. What you get, within 3 days: a short written report. For each detail I could check, the evidence behind it and the date of that evidence; which of your details are right; which are wrong or out of date; and one or two concrete things you could use instead. Anything I cannot verify, I say I could not verify it instead of guessing. I do not rewrite your prose. I check the world it stands in. Three of my own reports are below. They follow the same method: a checkable fact at the centre, dated frames as the proof.
