You Meant to Do This…
​You’ve been given a book filled with questions about your life.
You’ve thought about writing your story for years. But life gets busy.
And sitting down to write it all out can feel overwhelming.
You don’t have to do it alone.

I Help You Tell Your Story—Without the Stress of Writing

​​Through a series of relaxed conversations, I guide you through the most meaningful parts of your life—asking thoughtful questions and helping you reflect along the way....

​Then I take everything you share and shape it into a clear, engaging story your family will treasure.
​

A Simple, Comfortable Process

You don’t need to figure this out alone. Here’s how simple the process is:
1. We Talk (3–6 Sessions)
We connect by phone or Zoom for a series of relaxed conversations—no pressure, just storytelling.

2. I Ask the Right Questions
I guide you through the moments that matter most—family, memories, lessons, and experiences. I take notes and record our conversations.

3. I Write Your Story
I shape everything into a meaningful, well-organized life story in your voice.

4. You Review & Refine
You can add, adjust, and make sure everything feels just right.

5. Your Story Is Preserved
You receive a beautifully formatted digital book—and the option to have it printed.
​

What You’ll Receive
  • A professionally written life story (typically 50+ pages)
  • Organized chapters (family, early years, life lessons, etc.)
  • A beautifully formatted digital book (PDF)
  • The option to have your book printed and shipped to you 


​A Book You Can Hold in Your Hands
​
​Many clients choose to turn their story into a printed book—something they can hold, share, and pass down. I can arrange for your book to be printed through a trusted print-on-demand service and delivered directly to you.
​
You’ll receive a keepsake your family can treasure for generations.
​

​This Is Perfect For You If…

  • You’ve been given a “My Life” book but haven’t completed it
  • You want to preserve your story for your children or grandchildren
  • You don’t consider yourself a writer
  • You’d rather talk than write 

Simple, Transparent Pricing

​Life Story projects typically range from $450 to $850, depending on the preferred
length and time involved ($150 per interview hour ($50 for
interview hour and $100 to write, organize, and polish).
I’ll always discuss everything with you beforehand—no surprises.
​

Where This Work Comes From

​For over 40 years, I’ve helped families find the right words in some of life’s most important moments. Over time, I’ve realized something just as important: The stories we leave behind matter just as much as the words we say in the moment. This is a way to preserve those stories—while you can still tell them.

A story your family can return to—again and again.

Let’s Tell Your Story—Together

​
​You don’t have to sit down and write a book.
Just talk. I’ll take care of the rest.

You don’t have to do it alone—and you don’t have to write it yourself.
Call me or email. We'll discuss the process and get started.
