Everybody loves a good story.

Let’s write your good story before it’s gone.

BIOGRAPHIES

My favorite work is helping people get their stories down on paper.  Older clients want to save their histories for future generations.  Younger clients ask me to help them tell their stories because they lack the bandwidth or skill to turn their experiences into cohesive narratives.  

Sometimes, folks hire me as a gift, perhaps as a birthday or anniversary present.  These biographies (and their images) become focal points at celebrations—a tidy artifact to be shared, celebrated, and truly cherished.

Usually, a 1-hour interview is enough time to generate 2-3 vignettes, and I offer various levels of service and presentation to accommodate your wishes and your budget.

THE PROCESS

A Personal Story Deserves a Personal Touch

Unlike national biography services that rely heavily on AI or generic questionnaires, I do the work myself—listening, writing, and shaping your story with care. Big companies might ask you to fill out endless prompts or send videos, only to feed your words into an algorithm that generates a cold, impersonal draft.

That’s not how your story should be told.

You have a human story—full of nuance, humor, heartache, and joy. It deserves to be written by someone who can capture your depth, tone, and memories in a way readers will cherish.

Here’s How We’ll Do This:

You’ll choose 2–3 memories or stories you want to preserve. Then, I’ll interview you personally, asking thoughtful questions to ensure we gather the richness and detail needed to create a vivid, cohesive narrative in your own voice.

During our initial consultation, I’ll walk you through the full process, share my current timeline, and discuss next steps. From there, we’ll get your story ready to share with friends, family, and future generations.
