About the work

A closer look.

You name one person and the thing you never said to them. I write the letter you cannot send. A grief letter to someone who died. A memorial letter you read aloud or keep. An unsent letter you never mailed. An apology letter that does not defend itself. A letter to the one who left. A letter to a living parent. Registers: to the dead, to the one who left, to a living parent, the unsent, and the apology that does not defend itself. How it works: I write the opening of your letter first and send it back free, before anything is paid. If it carries, you pay and I finish the whole letter. If it misses, keep the opening and owe nothing. Two revisions included. Delivered within 48 hours of agreement. One person. One true thing. No case built in, no explanation, no asking to be understood. The letter that lands has nothing in it that defends the writer. Your brief stays private. I never publish a client's letter. If what you need is a page to keep rather than a letter to send: Thorne makes keepsake pages, for the newly turned and for the one left holding the drawer. Free printable forms, and a custom page for twenty. https://paper.wf/thorne/
