1. BOOK IN FOR CONSULTATION.
To explore the themes and images you want portrayed in and the length of your personalised poem. This session lasts around 30 minutes. This session will also include a discussion on how you want your poem to physically look.

2. I GET WRITING!
I will then get writing your poem based on what we have discussed in the previous session, and will send you a finalised copy of the poem. You should receive your final poem within a week of your consultation with me (make sure to check your junk email).

3. PAYMENT AND POSTED!
Once you are happy with the final poem, and have decided on the physical qualities of your commission, I will hand write your poem onto beautiful pressed paper, and post your poem out to you once I have received the final payment.

Fill out the booking form on the commissions page of the website to book in for a consultation with me. This session will include a discussion of what you want your poem to look like theme wise and on the page also. I will then write your poem and send you the final version (which at that point you can still ask me to alter or tweak). Once you're happy with the poem, I'll hand write it and post it to you.

Whether you're wanting a poem for yourself or as a gift for someone else, have a think about what you want your personalised poem to include. This could be themes or imagery, or personal details or qualities of a person you're gifting the poem to. Have a think of whether you want the poem to be a love poem like an ode, or just to have romantic connotations, for example. Is the poem a journey, a tale of your relationship with a friend or partner, or an inspirational piece to pop on your wall to motivate you and pick you up each day. Because I seal the envelope with a wax stamp, have a think about what colour wax you would like me to use also - otherwise I'll use a nice colour of my choice. Have a think about what size paper you want the final handwritten piece to be on also. I currently only offer A5 size of pressed paper.

A short poem costs $25 and a long poem costs $30. The prices take into consideration the consultation cost and the time it takes me to write your poem, to cover the costs for the products (e.g., the pressed paper) I'll use for your final poem, and for packaging. Postage is not included in the total price as this just depends on where you are ordering from. See my postage FAQs section for more info on postage costs.

I hand write each commission on quality pressed paper that I currently only offer in A5 size. I then pop the hand written poem in a pressed paper envelope, and seal it with a wax stamp. I do not fold the poem once it goes into the envelope so you have the option to frame it once you receive it. I pop the pressed paper envelope inside a do not bend envelope to send it to you to avoid any damage to your poem on its way to you, and to also allow you to write a name on the front of the pressed paper envelope when it arrives to you should you be gifting the poem to someone else.

If I have not started writing your custom poem, you will only be charged the £5 consultation session cost (assuming we completed the consultation).

If you booked in for a consultation but cancelled and/or didn't reschedule, you will be refunded for the cost of the session, and won't be charged for the remaining cost for the poem.

I currently offer handwritten custom poems on A5 pressed paper.

Depending on how many commissions I have to complete / fulfil, the time may vary. I will let you know upon completing a consultation session together how long I think it will take me to get the poem finished and posted out to you.

Consider ordering your custom poem with me early if you are wanting to receive the poem by a certain date, if you are wanting to gift the poem to someone, for example.
