Wordsmith for Hire

Not so long ago, bards journeyed from town to town and city to city, composing verse and telling stories in exchange for coin. They immortalized the tales of heroes, sang the praises of friends, and ruthlessly satirized their rivals for the amusement of all. Their creative powers were so great that bards were revered alongside prophets, and even kings feared the bite of their tongues. 

Today, the role of the bard is much the same: to make the audience laugh, cry, and occasionally fall in love.

So if you require a poem, have an idea for a story, or are expected to give a speech with a rapidly approaching deadline, don’t worry. The bard is at your service.
