    Initial Consultation

    The first step in our process is an initial consultation. During this consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and expectations for your life story book. We’ll also provide you with an overview of our bespoke service, including the interview process and timeline for completion. We want to ensure that we understand your vision for your book and that you have a clear understanding of our process before we begin.

    Once you’ve decided to move forward with our service, we’ll schedule six one-hour face-to-face interviews with you. During these interviews, we’ll record and transcribe your memories, capturing the details that make your story unique. Our experienced writers will then take your transcribed interviews and craft them into a beautifully written book that captures the essence of your life.

The job Jennie did for me was of exceptional quality and I truly enjoyed the occasions we spent together during its preparation.

It was magnificent. I thought I hadn’t lived much but Jennie sat with me and asked me many questions about my life. I realise I had done many things. It was wonderful to remember them.

Oh Jennie, you’re making me remember things (in a good way!)
