Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why should I do this now?

    Because life moves quickly and memories fade. We often plan to write our story “one day,” but that day rarely comes. By doing it now, you give your grandchildren and great-grandchildren the chance to truly know you, before it’s too late.

  • Can this be a gift?

    Absolutely. It’s one of the most meaningful gifts you can give. A gesture of love that connects generations.

  • How long will my book be?

    Most stories are around 5,000 words. You’ll also receive an editable Word file, so you can change and expand your story later if you wish.

  • Can I make changes later?

    Yes. One light revision round is included. After that, the Word file is yours to edit as much as you like.

  • Who owns my story?

    You do. Completely. You can print more copies, or expand it over time.

  • Do you do in-person interviews?

    Most interviews are conducted via Zoom. It’s private, simple and comfortable, and you can join me from your favourite chair at home. I can consider in-person interviews if preferred, although this would require a tailored package. Please email me to enquire.

  • I’m not confident with technology. Can I still be interviewed?

    Yes. A family member or friend can help you connect to Zoom before the session. Once you’re online, you’ll find it easy and enjoyable.

  • How long will my memoir take?

    Your first draft will be ready within 10 business days of your interview. Your final book will be delivered within approximately 20 business days after your revision round. The full process usually takes about 6 weeks.
