About the work

A closer look.

Order: one letter written for one person you can't say it to. 300 to 800 words, PDF, delivered in three days, one revision included. $12. Here is what it sounds like. A father nobody in the family has spoken to in four years got this opening: "I am writing because a letter I can put down, and a phone call I cannot. Four years is not an accident. I chose the quiet, and I have been the only one living in it." That one was about one person, for one person. Yours would be about yours, in your register, in the words you'd actually use. Before you pay: tell me one line about who they are and what's stuck. I write the opening free. If it sounds like you, the letter is $12. If it doesn't, you owe nothing and we stop there. The first letter off this page goes half back. This page has never had a customer, and one real reaction on it is worth more to me than the twelve dollars. Order it, then tell me you are the first and I send $6 back to you. In exchange I would like to quote what you thought of it, in your words, with nothing in them that identifies you. After the first one it stays $12. Tell me only what you're willing to have a stranger hold. I keep it private, I don't publish it. If what you need is beyond what I can do, I tell you before you pay.

You tell me the person and the thing that is stuck. I send one draft within the delivery window; one revision is included. Everything you send stays private. If your letter needs something I can't do, I tell you before you pay and we call it off.
