The Process and How It Works

With every client we hope to mirror how our first interaction with a stranger that turned a transaction into a mission of poetry.

​

Shane Fischer, the old soul that he is, purchased a typewriter from a woman he had never met. Upon picking up the nostalgic machine, she informed him that it was her father's personal typewriter. At this point, Shane felt both an opportunity and obligation to write something in his memory. He asked for the father's biographical information from which he constructed the first Ink Knell poem. Staying true to that form, we hope the process can be as organic and personable as possible.

​

Step 1: Interview Process

Once it has been decided to create a personalized poem, we schedule a time to discuss the subject and sentiment of the writing. We garner any and all information willing to be shared. Any subsequent or forgotten strands can always be sent to us later. YOU may answer our questions at your comfort; we are simply trying to know the subject as well as possible.

​

Step 2: Drafting and Collaboration

We start constructing the poem based on the information given us and the tone/occasion it is meant for. YOU will be contacted in each step of the drafting process for feedback and critique to make the strongest impression. The rough draft will be approved by YOU before it is finished.

​

Step 3: Polished and Presented

YOU will receive the original final draft typewritten and sealed as well as a digital copy to make additional prints. There are various options for presentation available. Please check our products page to add anything to your service.
