These stories will not be simple
transcriptions. Stories that are told orally don't always transfer
well to the printed page. Consider this: The stories Grandpa tells
can include his facial expressions, body movements, and voice inflections.
But these aren't visible on the page. That's where I come in.
As a professional writer, I've written my own books
and books for other people. (You've heard the term "ghost writer."
That's me.) As a professional speaker, I tell audiences the best
ways to communicate their messages. As both of the above, I'll apply
just the right techniques to make your favorite stories told across
the kitchen table come to life on the page.
Think of your book as a distillation of your family
stories that will evoke the gamut of reactions, from "Oh, I
love that story" all the way to "Wow, I never heard that
one before."
This is truly a fitting gift legacy for:
Parents
Grandparents
Children
Grandchildren
Friends
Veterans
Retirees
Honorees |
Perfect for commemorating:
Birthdays
Anniversaries
Holidays
Milestones
Family and class reunions
Mother's Day and Father's Day
Retirement
Tributes

Here's what I'll be doing for you in this process:
*Interviewing the storytellers
*Organizing and reviewing mementos and photographs with you to find
the best stories
*Writing your stories so they work on the page
*Scanning your photographs
*Laying out the design of your book
*Supervising printing and production
Two points to emphasize: 1. This book will not be
published. Publishing would mean the public gets to read it. Instead,
this is a private printing of a limited number of copies just for
you and those close to you.
2. This book is a collection of your stories, not
a memoir or biography. Your price will depend on the final number
of pages and the number of color sheets, but it includes three 7x10
in. format books. You may order as many more as you like.
And as a bonus, you receive a substantial discount
if you allow me include this in the front matter:
