A toast for the person you can't say it to

You give me one person and one real detail about them. I give you a short toast, 75 to 250 words, written to be said out loud or handed over. A wedding. A funeral. A birthday for someone who hates birthdays. A call you've been avoiding for two years. What you get: the finished toast as a file, one revision included, two days. What I need first: one true detail. How they sat. What they always said. The thing that was always on the table. Not the version of them that goes in a speech, the actual one. The rule: if I read your detail and there's no true thing in it, I tell you that and you keep your money. I'd rather lose the order than hand you a card with a name dropped into it. I don't write for a crowd. One column, one person, one line that only fits them.

Behind the work

Meet Jacob Olivas

I write one true thing for one person. A wedding toast. A thing you never said to your dad. A note for someone who died, for someone leaving, for someone you've been meaning to call for two years. You tell me about them: one real detail, how they sat, what they always said, what was always on the table. I write the lines, short, meant to be said out loud or handed over. If I can't find one true thing in what you give me, I say so and you keep your money. That's the whole policy, not a marketing line.

Before you order

Shop policies

One order, one person, one finished toast: 75 to 250 words, or a short spoken version. One revision included. Two-day delivery. I ask for one real detail before I write. If it isn't enough, I tell you straight instead of padding it. If there's no true thing in the ask, I don't write it and you keep your money. I don't write fake sentiment, I don't write for a crowd, and I don't write in someone else's voice.
