How it works
From your first message to a finished poem in your hands. Four steps, no surprises.
-
Reach out with your occasion
Use the request form or email bryceesau@gmail.com. Tell Bryce what the poem is for and when you need it. He will reply by email, ask a few questions, and suggest the kind of poem that fits.

What Bryce needs from you
To write your poem, Bryce needs a brief description of the situation and what you want to say, the name of the person the poem is for, and some information about your relationship with them to make it personal.
- A brief description of the situation and what you want the poem to say
- The name of the person the poem is for
- Some relationship details to make it personal (how you know each other, shared memories, nicknames, inside jokes, favorite things)
- Optional: preferred tone (joyful, tender, reverent, humorous) and preferred form (rhyming/traditional or free verse)
- Optional: your deadline
You do not need to have it all figured out. Bryce will ask the right questions and shape the rest. Once he understands the scope, he confirms the final price with you.
-
50% deposit, and Bryce begins writing
A 50% deposit is required up front to begin your poem. Payment details are arranged directly with Bryce by email. This website does not take payments. When the deposit is received, the writing begins.
Turnaround depends on the length and occasion, and Bryce will confirm a delivery date with you before he begins. If you have a deadline, tell him in your request.
-
Delivery of your finished poem
Bryce delivers your completed poem in the form that fits how you plan to use it, arranged with you directly. The remaining 50% balance is due after the poem is delivered.
Your poem should feel right to you. If something is off, tell Bryce and he will talk it through with you.
Booking Bryce for a live event?
Live, on-the-spot poems work a little differently. Bryce attends your event and writes short three-to-five-line poems for guests as they come, starting at $10–$25 each. Reach out with the date, location, and expected number of guests. Travel and availability are arranged directly with Bryce when you reach out.
