About the work

A closer look.

Send me one true detail: a room, a person, the thing that actually happened. I write back the opening line I would use, free, and it is yours either way. If it lands, I write the whole thing: a wedding toast, a best man, maid of honour or father of the bride speech, a birthday roast, an anniversary toast, a retirement or leaving-do send-off, a eulogy, an apology, or the letter you never sent. 300 to 600 words, one pass, one revision, delivered in 3 days. You get words a person could actually say out loud, built from your detail and not a template. I show you the line I would cut, and why. If I cannot hear a real speech in what you send, I say so and nothing moves.
