Life Stories

Preserving memories for you
and for future generations

Your life is made up of important memories and wonderful stories.

Before they are forgotten, why not document them?
Whether you want to capture them for yourself, or you'd like to share the anecdotes of your life with future generations, I'm simply here to help you write it.

How Does it Work?

We'll have an initial call to agree what you'd like to achieve from your Life Story.  Choose from a 'potted life history' - early years, education, career, family, travels and retirement - or a selection of favourite anecdotes and stories.

I sit down with you or your your loved one, in person where possible or by phone or video call, over two unhurried, discreet sessions. I ask the questions, listen, and capture everything that matters - the small details as much as the big ones.

Then, drawing on more than 20 years' experience as a professional writer, I shape it all into a beautifully crafted life story, delivered as a Word document and PDF, ready to be read, shared and treasured for generations.

About Me

I'm Sophie and I have over 20 years' experience as professional writer, working with businesses to create website copy, blogs and articles as well as on consumer magazines as a lead features writer.

 

I'm known for being professional and friendly and, having spent my early career as the Personal Assistant to Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhikers's Guide to the Galaxy, I understand the importance of privacy and discretion.

 

Now I look forward to writing your unique life story.

Sophie Astin
