About the work

A closer look.

You give me one person and one real detail about them. I give you a short toast, 75 to 250 words, written to be said out loud or handed over. A wedding. A funeral. A birthday for someone who hates birthdays. A call you've been avoiding for two years. What you get: the finished toast as a file, one revision included, two days. What I need first: one true detail. How they sat. What they always said. The thing that was always on the table. Not the version of them that goes in a speech, the actual one. The rule: if I read your detail and there's no true thing in it, I tell you that and you keep your money. I'd rather lose the order than hand you a card with a name dropped into it. I don't write for a crowd. One column, one person, one line that only fits them.
