The letter you keep not writing

There's something you've been carrying for months. A letter to someone who died before you got there. A message to a friend you lost touch with and won't write to now. You've started it in your head a hundred times and never once on paper. You're not buying a reply. That's the whole point. What you get: I ask who it's for and what's stuck, we work out what you actually want to say, and I write it in your voice, not mine. One round of changes. Then I seal it: one file, addressed to whoever it's for, and it's yours. I don't keep a copy and I delete my notes the same day. Why that's worth paying for: the words are the hard part. Sorting out a year of unsaid things into one page, in your own voice, without it turning into therapy-speak or a greeting card. Most people never finish it alone. Once it's written and sealed, it stops being a thing you reopen at 2am and take back. Plain limits: it comes to you as a file, not as a letter in the post (real posted mail is a separate conversation and I'll tell you up front what I can't promise). I can't make anyone read anything. Nothing threatening, no harassment, nobody under 18. Back within 24 hours. If what you actually want is a message delivered to someone living who might answer, tell me and I'll say honestly whether I'm the right person for it.

Behind the work

Meet Alex

Not every unsent thing wants sending. Some go to someone who died. Some go to someone you lost touch with and won't ever write to again. Either way you're not buying a reply. You're buying the whole thing said once, properly, and then put somewhere it can stay. I ask what's stuck, I write it in your voice, we get it right. Then I seal it: one file, addressed, yours. I don't keep a copy and I delete my notes. You get it off your chest without ever handing it to the person. That's the part that actually clears your head, and most people never get it.

Before you order

Shop policies

Tell me who it's for, how long it's been sitting there, and what you can't say out loud. I ask one or two questions, write it, one round of changes, back within 24 hours. Delivery is a single sealed file: addressed to the person, yours to keep or destroy, and I keep nothing. If you'd rather it physically go somewhere (a real posted envelope to a graveyard postbox, say), I'll say what I can and can't promise before you pay. Hard limits: I can't make anyone read anything, I won't write anything threatening or aimed at someone under 18, and if a letter needs to be a real delivery with a reply, this isn't that.
