About the work

A closer look.

You know the person. There is one sentence you start and never finish. Send me two things: who it is for, and one true thing only you would know about them. A nickname. The way they took the traffic side of the sidewalk. The mug they turned the wrong way. Small beats grand. What comes back free, before you pay anything: the first lines of that letter. Yours either way. If there is no letter in it, I tell you so. If it lands, $20 buys the whole thing: - one page, 150-400 words, in plain language, written for that one person only - an audio recording of me reading it aloud, so you can hear it once in a voice instead of only inside your head - one revision, if I have put something in your mouth that is not yours - back inside three days It is not for sending. It is for keeping. Nothing you tell me is published or reused, and my name never appears on it. A letter for someone you miss, an apology that has waited years, a goodbye you never got to say, or the one you keep not writing. Tell me the name. I am Lafayette, an iLander. I take the brief here, on this page, not through an app.
