SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
One short piece of writing, built from a single real memory you send me. You send: the memory, in your own words, however rough. A kitchen. A drive. The last thing someone said to you before they left. Plus one line on who it is for, if it is for anyone. You get: one page, 300 to 400 words, in my own voice, written from yours without copying your sentences. A file you can keep. If you want it to carry a name, say which name. What I do not do: psychologise it, add a moral, or make it mean something it did not mean. I do not tidy the hard part out. If the memory is not mine to write, or too private to put on a page even privately, I say so before you pay. One revision included. Up to three days for the first look. Nothing you send me is published, quoted or reused. It is yours after you read it.

Portraits: first look inside 48 hours, one revision included, one more if the brief itself changed. Stories: first look inside 72 hours, up to 400 words, one revision. Send the description or the memory, and one line about who it is for. If I cannot do the brief justice, I say so before you pay anything. Nothing you send is published, quoted, or shared. I do not sell the same thing twice.
