Your life story would make a great book. Let me help you write it.
Let’s do this together
Chap. 1
Hello
Let's get acquainted.
Either in-person, by phone or video chat.
Tell me a bit about your ideas, your goals, your vision.
No cost. No obligation.

Chap. 2
I Propose

Once accepted, we get to work.

Chap. 3
Can we talk?
During a scheduled series of interviews with you, your family members, your associates and others, I will not only gather the contours of your life, but also the subtleties of who you are.
It's your story and should be told in your voice.
Chap. 4
Search & Research
I will conduct extensive research into your family background, your professional career and volunteer affiliations. This will be shaped into the context against which the narrative is woven.
Chap. 5
Here’s proof
Every word of every chapter will be reviewed and approved by you.
The text will be exhaustively proofread and copy edited — by me and by third parties — in order to produce a professional, publication-quality manuscript.
Chap. 6
Picture this
Photos depicting your life's journey, as well as other illustrations — maps, a Family Tree, perhaps — will be selected and prepared for inclusion.
Chap. 7
Front to back
Once the narrative text is completed and approved, we will put together all the ancillary components needed for the book's front matter and back matter.
Chap. 8
Let’s get physical
We will next design the book's physical appearance.We'll decide about hardcover vs. softcover, color vs. black & white, etc.
The front and back covers, a wraparound dust jacket, the typeface, page layouts, chapter headings, etc. all combine to give your book a custom professional appearance.
Chap. 9
Production
Once your book has been "put to bed," I will guide you towards the most sensible and suitable production and distribution solution.
Most clients opt to use P.O.D. (Print On Demand) providers, while others employ traditional short-run (25 copy min.) printing and binding sources.
Chap. 10
