How It Works

  • Typing on a laptop during a quiet writing moment, symbolising the beginning of a beautifully written memoir.

    Step 1: Email Me


    To begin, email me at thememwriter@gmail.com with a short introduction about yourself, or the person whose story you’d like written.

    I’ll reply personally to arrange your appointments and send you a worksheet to complete.

  • Elderly man sitting at a computer, symbolising the simple, guided process of writing a memoir.

    Step 2: Worksheet and Photos

    Complete a worksheet to help me tailor your interview and write your story.

    You can email me up to 15 photos, including one portrait (vertical shaped photo) for the front cover.

    Step 3: Talk

    We’ll have two conversations. The first will be a 30-minute phone call to get to know each other and prepare you for the interview.

    Our second will be a relaxed, 2.5 hour interview via Zoom, including a short break to refresh.

    You simply talk. I’ll listen, ask questions, and gently guide you through your memories and reflections.

  • A pair of brown-framed glasses resting on open, handwritten notebook with black ink notes, placed on a wooden desk with a laptop in the foreground and a pen nearby.

    Step 4: Revise

    I’ll send you a draft for a light revision. You can simply note any corrections, and I’ll update everything and prepare your memoir for printing.
