About the work

A closer look.

A eulogy for my dad, and the service is Saturday. That is the sentence I start from, and whatever line you typed to get here is the job I do. Others this week, word for word: "A eulogy for my mom, and my brother wants me to speak first." "A memorial speech for my grandmother, and I don't know where to start." "A wedding toast, or a toast for my best friend, and everyone is going to look at me." The rest of it is the same job in a different room. A funeral speech when you have never spoken in front of a room. A best man speech when you are not a funny person. A maid of honor speech that does not sound like a greeting card. Send me the real thing: names, the rooms, the habits, the fights, the thing they always did, the story nobody else knows. I write 400 to 900 words built for the ear, the words to say at a funeral or the words to say at a wedding, from your material and not from a template. Short sentences, no stock phrases, no borrowed grief. It sounds like you because I keep your words and your specific detail. I can write a eulogy for a parent, a grandparent, a brother or sister, a friend, or someone you only knew a little and still have to speak for. If the service is close, tell me the date in your first message and I will tell you honestly whether I can make it. What I will not do: invent a life, or fill gaps with filler. If what you send is too thin to carry a room, I say so before you pay, and we either find more or you walk away. One revision included. Delivered as a private file within 3 days of an agreed start. Nothing about your person gets published, ever.
