✦ gift certificate ✦
Most gifts are finished before you give them. This one begins when it's opened.
A story written only for them, when they're ready for it.
✦ one free revision✦ written by me✦ up to 10 business days
A mirror and a fresh perspective
Gift someone a story written only for them.
It's for the friend who has everything, the sister starting over, the parent whose child deserves a story no one else has. For anyone whose next chapter you'd like to mark with more than a card.
They tell me about their life; I write it back to them as a story.
It isn't automated: I personally email you a printable PDF certificate with your dedication. Valid for 6 months.
What each story does
- Magic Fiction →The open door. They tell me anything (a question, a person, a moment) and I find the story in it. Light, strange or tender.
- Birthday Fiction →Their birthday turned into a myth, with them as the hero they always were.
- Tarot Fiction →I lay the cards for them, then write the story the cards tell. Not a prediction, a myth.
- Children's Fiction →A story that belongs only to their child. Their fear becomes a dragon they faced.
- The Mirror Conversation →An hour together, one to one, then a story of about 3,000 words from what came up.
It’s for you if…
THEY'RE GOING THROUGH SOMETHING
You don't have to explain it. They'll tell me what they want to, when they're ready.
THEY HAVE EVERYTHING
A story that didn't exist until they asked for it.
IT'S FOR A CHILD
Their parent tells me about the little one themselves.
✦ from someone who ordered it ✦
“WOW absolutely great story! I call Julie my “magic words fairy”. Truly a very special person.”

Not quite right?
I'll rewrite it.
Every order includes one full round of revisions. If the tone, a detail or the ending doesn't feel like them, tell me what's off and I rewrite it.
No extra cost. Just write to me after you read it.
Want to give an hour, not just a story?
The Mirror Conversation can be gifted too: an hour with me, one to one, then a story of about 3,000 words from what came up. Choose it in the menu at the top.
Questions
Do I need to know what they'll want?
No. If you're unsure, Magic Fiction is the most open door.
Is it okay for someone who's grieving or struggling?
Yes. The certificate asks nothing of them until they're ready, and I write with care.
What if I can't afford it?
Write to me anyway. Tell me your situation and who the story is for. I read every message, and sometimes I lower the price.
Can I share or reuse my story?
Yes, it’s yours to keep, read and share. Wherever it goes, even if you reuse or adapt it, keep my name with it: written by Julie, Mot Vivant. The writing stays mine, so it can’t be sold, published for profit or used commercially without my written permission. I may share and use the stories I write, in my portfolio, on this site and in my marketing, always with names and personal details changed. If you’d rather I never share yours, just tell me.
Is this therapy?
No. It's fiction, grounded in narrative theory. It isn't a clinical service and doesn't replace one.
