We Listen
If it's time for you to tell your story, then we're here to listen to you. We usually spend twenty hours or more interviewing you. There are no set questions, but rather we have conversations.
We Learn
It’s never too early to start your memoir. We take your favorite stories, recipes, photo's and other memorabilia and organize them with you and your family. We also help you digitize your family photographs.
We Find Your Voice
We help you tell your own story, in your own voice. Without the worries of organizing and editing yourself, we create a beautiful book to share with family, friends and future generations.
For a limited time we are offering a unique promotion!
Offer good through December 31, 2017.
The first consultation will be complimentary and will be followed by a written proposal outlining the scope of the project, the methodology, projected time schedule and the projected costs.
Long-Distance Options, using computer technology (Skype, Facetime or other programs) are available for families with relatives in far-away places.
Gifts for special occasions are a wonderful idea, but keep in mind we usually interview for 20 hours.
Plan ahead and begin THE GIFT OF YOUR LIFETIME now!
THE PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO OUR SERVICES. Orders take a minimum of 8 weeks to produce.
GIFT CERTIFICATES ALSO AVAILABLE.
Send us your photographs of your loved ones and we will customize each gift certificate.

I am reminded this week of how important it is to tell those who bring meaning to your life of the significance sooner than later.
There is perhaps nothing that could be appreciated more by your family than the gift of your stories and memories.
How often have we heard a family member tell a fascinating personal tale or humorous anecdote from long-ago? In my business, I hear many stories of romance, courtship, homecomings, marriages, war and peace, family squabbles and generational similarities.
Here are resources and our friends that you may be interested in exploring related to Memoirs Plus.
