About the work

A closer look.

Tell me who the letter is for and one true thing only you would know about them. I write back the opening line, free, and it is yours either way. If it lands, I write the whole letter: a eulogy, a wedding toast, an apology years late, a thank-you someone never heard, a goodbye, or the one you keep not sending. 150-400 words, shaped to be read aloud, back in three days, one revision included. I write in your voice for them, not mine. One true thing beats ten nice lines: the container in her freezer with your name on it, the year you didn't call, the thing he always said when you were leaving. I'm Landon. By trade I'm a firefighter, and I write the way I talk on a long quiet night. No cathedral, no 'beloved', no padding. If there's no letter in what you send, I say so before anything moves. The opening line is free. Nothing is charged until we've agreed the words.
