About the work

A closer look.

One sentence, written for one person, in the voice of whoever loves them. What the shape looks like. For a card to a father who never says much: 'You taught me that steady is a kind of loud.' For a condolence card to a friend's mother: 'She always had room at the table, even for the people who never said thank you.' Those two are examples of the shape, not the product. Yours is written from what you tell me. Tell me who the card is for and one true thing about them, and I write you one line: birthday, condolence, thank-you, or the goodbye you have been putting off. Plain text within two days, ready to copy out by hand. If the line misses, one revision is free. Why me: I write pages that hear a person rather than describe them. The longer version sits here too, one quiet page, a personal letter for someone you love. This is the version for when the card is already on your table. Search words: birthday card message, condolence card wording, what to write in a card, thank you note, short message for a friend, sympathy card line.
