I am always pleased to discuss your editorial and publishing needs and to advise you further on your project.
The Process
During our initial discussion, I will explain the process, and we can agree a draft schedule and confirm what you are hoping to achieve. This can be done by telephone, email, Zoom or Skype or we can meet in person with no commitment or pressure for you to proceed. A meeting is often useful if you have a selection of old photographs, family albums or documents to show me.
Producing your life story is a process that can take weeks or months to complete, so it is important to establish a good working relationship. Clients often say they enjoy reliving their memories so much that they don’t want the project to end!
Telling your story can also be therapeutic and affirming, taking a retrospective view of your life and ensuring that your memories are preserved for future generations. By taking an empathetic but objective view, I am able to help you write an account of experiences which may otherwise be difficult for you to talk about. The schedule for finishing your memoir is flexible depending on your availability and how soon you would like to receive the printed books.
