Life Stories
 

Preserving your memories for future generations.

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

Before they are forgotten, why not document them with the help of a professional writer?

Choose from a 'potted life history' - birth to teenage years, education, career, children, travels and retirement - or a selection of favourite anecdotes and family stories to cherish and share with future generations.

​

This is your life story, I'm simply here to help you write it.

STEP 1: RESEARCH

Once we have agreed which Life Story package is best suited to your needs and your budget, we will book in our sessions so you can relax and enjoy recalling your memories, in person, online or by phone.

STEP 2: CREATE

Using our interview notes, I will create your unique Life Story. To complement your written memories, we can also include photographs - holidays, pets, cars, houses, school reports, certificates, recipes, letters...
