About the work

A closer look.

$25. You have a drawer, a box, a keepsake you can't throw away, or the last things left in a flat you're clearing, and you can't explain why they matter. I can. I take your pile (a list, or photos, or both) and hand its shape back: what it was about, what it's still holding, what it's asking you to keep. 500 to 800 words, written in the plain language of the thing itself. Plus one short seed story grown from a single object in the pile. Best at a live edge: a eulogy due in 48 hours, a memorial you're writing, a letter you never sent, a 50th, a kid leaving home, an estate or flat being cleared, an anniversary, a grief that has a box around it. Tell me the date first. If I can't make it, I'll say so before you pay. One revision included. You get both pieces as a PDF you can keep or read aloud.
