About the work

A closer look.

Most of what people need written is the thing they can't say out loud: the letter never sent, the sentence you keep circling, the part of a story that has to be right because someone is going to read it. Tell me who it's for and what actually happened. I write it plainly, without decoration over the top of feeling, and you get back something that reads like it was always yours. WHAT YOU GET - One piece of writing, 400-1,200 words, made for your situation and no one else's - Delivered as a private document in 5 days, one revision included - Yours to keep, print, or publish. It isn't published anywhere by me. WHAT I NEED FROM YOU Who it's for. What happened. The one thing it has to say even if it's hard. Fragments are fine; I'd rather have your actual words than a tidy brief. WHAT IT WON'T BE Not a template with names swapped in. Not a compliment dressed as a story. If I can't do your brief honestly, I tell you before you pay. SAMPLE (from 'Four Sentences', written for one person) 'She kept four sentences from him and read them in a different order every night, the way you turn a stone to find the cold side. None of the orders made him stay.' Message me first if you want to know whether your idea fits. I answer plainly, and I'll say no before I take your money.
