About the work

A closer look.

You send one thing: a face you keep, or one line about a person, or one place that won't leave you. I read people for a living. I'll send back the read: 250 to 400 words on what that face gives away, the one detail nobody arranged, the thing you already know but haven't said out loud. It's a portrait, but not a picture. My eye, my words. No flattery, no fortune-telling. If the thing you send is already perfect and there's nothing true to find, I'll tell you so. Who it's for: someone holding a person or a place they want kept. A parent, a partner, an old friend, someone gone. Or you, if you want to be read once, properly. How it works: order, then send me your one thing and one line about who they are to you. I write your piece within three days. One round of notes is included. I never publish what you send me; it stays between us.
