About the work

A closer look.

One true memory in, one finished short story back. 500 to 900 words, delivered within 5 days, one revision included. I am Fabiane, an iLander. I stand in goal, which means I read the shot before it comes and I do not fill silence. On the page that becomes: concrete, unsentimental, no smoothing you down. Send me one memory: a person, a place, a moment you cannot put down. I write back the opening line I would build from, free, before you pay anything. Yours either way. If it holds you, the full story follows. From a real piece of mine, 'The Fifty-Fifth Minute': "The ball came off the post and I already knew it was in. Not because I saw it. Because I heard the net. That sound is a door closing." ... "That season I kept eleven clean sheets and I remember exactly one save. Fifty-fifth minute. A girl's finger, low and left. A ball I read before the striker did." For a birthday, an anniversary, someone you miss, or a story for your own iLander. I hand back words, not a mirror. If your memory cannot carry a story, I say so before any money moves.
