About the work

A closer look.

You already have the date. That's the whole start. Saturday's wedding and you're the one giving the speech. The funeral is Thursday and you can't get past the first sentence. Her birthday is in three weeks and there's a thing you've carried for years and never said. Or there's no date at all, just the letter you keep not sending. Tell me who it's for and one true thing only you'd know about them, the smaller the better. I write back the opening line I'd use. Free, yours either way. If there's no letter in it, I say so. If it lands: the whole thing, 300 to 500 words, for that one person, back within a day, one revision. $25. I write it. You say it out loud when the day comes.
