Frequently Asked Questions

How to Preserve Your Legacy 

Why Can’t I Do This Project on My Own?

Why Is It Important My Story is Told?

Certainly, some people have the talent, energy and drive to write and publish their own life story. But for those who feel overwhelmed by this type of project, I can help. As an experienced writer and journalist, I know what questions to ask to elicit memories and how to write engaging narratives. I will manage all phases of book production, including lay-out and design, photos, and cover design. You will have peace of mind that the project will be done well and on time.

Your friends, children, and grandchildren want to remember what made you unique. They will grow from your wisdom and inspirations as you share the incredible adventure of your life in a handsome book for them to read. 

Through reflecting on on events, people and places that shaped you, you will better understand yourself. Reviewing your life’s highlights can also bring a sense of accomplishment and joy. 

What is the Process Like in Creating a Book?

I’ll conduct guided conversations with you about topics you hold dear. Together, we’ll look at photos and memorabilia that illustrate your life. I’ll take these stories and images to create a keepsake book.

How Long Does It Take to Complete a Book?

A Your Stories book can take several months or a few years, depending on the project’s scope, the frequency, number and length of interviews, and other variables. Each book is customized to meet the client’s needs.

Why Should I Tell My Story Now?

No one is getting any younger–and you vividly remember stories from your past, and have the energy to talk to a personal historian. Why wait?

How Do I Get Started?

Testimonials

We started this project to bring together two different generations and to provide students a journalistic opportunity, as well as a human connection with seniors. Over the duration of the project, seniors and students gained a new understanding of each other. Jennifer provided education, guidance, and leadership not only to the students, but to the residents as well. She crafted the words of the students into a professional well-written book. The final product has exceeded my expectation.
