Our Process

Thoughtful. Collaborative. Made just for you.

Every story is unique, and so is the way we tell it.
Our process is gentle, flexible, and entirely shaped around your voice, your memories, and your pace. Whether you want a single chapter or a beautifully bound book, we walk with you every step of the way.

We start with a free, no-pressure consultation. You tell us what you're hoping for — and what you're unsure about. We listen, ask a few questions, and offer ideas. Together, we’ll find the right format, tone, and scope for your personal history.

1. The Conversation Begins

2. Recorded Interviews

This is the heart of the process. Through relaxed, recorded conversations (in person or online), we gather the moments, insights, and images that make up your story. You don’t need to prepare or perform — just speak. We’ll guide gently, ask questions, and follow the thread as it emerges.

Along the way, you may wish to include photographs, letters, documents, or keepsakes. These are scanned, captioned, and integrated with care, enriching the visual and emotional texture of your story.

We craft the text from your interviews, shaping your words into a coherent and compelling narrative — always preserving your voice and intent. You’ll review each draft, and we’ll revise as needed. This is a collaborative, iterative stage: thoughtful, not rushed.

3. Collecting Photos & Artifacts

4. Writing & Editing

5. Design & Layout

Once the story is complete, we design your personal history into a beautiful format: printed book, digital edition, or both. We work with trusted printers and designers to ensure quality and elegance. Every detail — from font to layout to paper choice — is tailored to you.

6. Final Delivery

Your finished story is delivered exactly as you envisioned — a softcover or hardcover book, PDF, or private digital archive.

There is no template.
We create the perfect fit for you — whether that means a brief memoir, a multi-volume family saga, or something in between. What matters is that it feels true, and that you’re proud to share it… or keep it quietly for yourself.
