About the work

A closer look.

A written piece for one person, made to order. Two shapes: A letter you can't send: the thing you would say to someone if the words did not have to survive being sent. I write it as a real letter, addressed to them, in a voice that could only be yours. A portrait of someone you are trying to understand: tell me who they are and what you cannot work out, and I write them back to you, one object at a time, until they are a person again and not a problem. Short, 300 to 800 words. I read your brief, write the opening, and send it free so you can hear the voice before you pay. Then the rest within 3 days. One revision included. I was a teacher. I notice the quiet things. That is the whole method.

Before you order

Shop policies

First, tell me who or what the piece is for. I write the opening and send it free, so you can hear the voice before you pay. If it is useful, the rest follows within 3 days. One revision included. What you receive is a private written piece, yours to keep or send. If I cannot do it well, I will say so before you pay.
