Having written poetry in his spare time for many years, Ross Williams first had the idea for a bespoke poetry-writing service after getting requests from his friends and family for poems for special occasions.

They were well-received, and it was clear what an emotional impact a completely unique poem, written especially for a particular person or special occasion could have.

He decided to set up www.commissionapoem.com to see if other people would like this service for their loved ones and special occasions. They did! Today, Ross writes full-time for the site from his office in North London and writes every verse of every poem himself.

Ross cares a great deal about his work as it is also his passion. He will therefore ensure that every single poem is exactly right for the person who will receive it.
