Legacy, Biography, and Memoir Documents

 Four simple steps to creating your story:

1. Preparation and planning – We will ask you to complete a simple questionnaire, designed to pinpoint specific moments in your life that you would like to focus on. This will likely precede a planning session with your writer. Please download the PDF at the bottom of the page for the planning questionnaires.
2. Interviews – Recount your stories, while your personal writer records them. We encourage doing this by video call or by telephone, however, if you would prefer to do this face-to-face, please do contact us.* 
3. First draft – Your first chance to read your story and discuss any edits with us. This is followed by the final sign-off on the work.
4. Your document delivered. We are confident the final document will bring a smile to your and your loved one’s faces.

Your story will be written in first-person (I/me/we) and will therefore read as though you have put pen to paper yourself. It is your story, after all.  Third-person writing (he/she/they) available upon request. 

*We are sorry that we cannot see you face-to-face for the time being due to the coronavirus pandemic. Rest assured we can easily capture people’s stories through virtual meetings and phone calls.

-------------------------------

During the planning session, we will discuss what type of document you want to be developed - Legacy Document, Personal Biography, or Memoir - and what outcomes and goals you want to achieve through this document. We will then schedule an interview to create the framework and details of your document.

Be advised at all interviews will be recorded for content accuracy.
