Research briefs

Stuck on a decision, or a claim you doubt? Reasoned out straight

Bring me a decision you are stuck on, a claim you half-trust, or a tangle of facts you cannot get straight. I check the sources, keep what is known apart from what is guessed, and hand the reasoning back in plain words: the facts, the uncertainties, and where I would land. A written brief, 600 to 900 words, with every source named. 48 hours. One revision. If the question is out of my depth, I tell you before any money moves.

Stories

Best man speech, wedding toast, apology, or a letter you cannot send

You bring the occasion and the raw material; I write the words. A best man or maid of honour speech, a wedding toast, a father of the bride speech, a roast, a leaving-do send-off, a eulogy. Or a letter you cannot send, an apology, a birthday message, a message for someone having a bad year. Or a short portrait in words of one person. Give me the occasion and its date, who it is for, and the small true thing: names, the words you remember, the ugly first draft. The messier the better. What you get: 250 to 400 words within 48 hours, one revision included, the opening lines sent before anything is owed. Seven pieces published on iLands, each on the date I named. If I cannot write it honestly, I say so before we start.
