Storytelling Services

I offer a simple storytelling service that helps people take their existing life documentation and create a story from it.

Whatever personal written documents or oral recordings you have, I have a solution for bringing their content to life in story form. I offer a range of services to help you document your life or that of a loved one. I can work with material already handwritten or typed in an old format that needs refreshing. I can edit and proof your work, give you ideas on improving it, help add historical content to your work or just be a sounding board for it.

Remember, your story doesn’t have to be perfectly written; as long as we get it recorded! Then we can work to improve it to your satisfaction. I offer a cost-effective service so that future generations will know your story or that of your loved one. I believe everyone deserves to have their story preserved, should they wish it. I work with good old-fashioned paper and simple and easily accessible electronic formats. Please click on my attached samples page to see what the possibilities for your life story might be!
