Memoirs & Keepsakes
For the Keepers of Memories
|
How much do you know about your family history?
How much of what you know, will you remember to pass on to your children
and grandchildren?
What are the highlights, the triumphs and struggles that made your
family what it is today?

Memories can be elusive, here one minute and gone the next
Over the years, family memories disappear. A Life Story Kit is one way
in which you can hold onto the memories for present and future generations.
Designed by a professional writer, it offers a way to capture a personal or family history.
Life Story Kit
No matter how much we would like to hold onto them, memories fade with
the passing of time. A Life Story Kit provides an attractive and simple
solution to recording memories, whether your own or a family member's,
personalised by an individual's handwriting.
Life Story Kits have proven popular with family members who are keen
to capture the memories of loved ones getting on in years.
These kits provide you with a book containing pre-printed headings
and memory topics, in a broad range of areas for you to fill in the
details. Included is a Personal History Question Booklet to assist you
in jogging memories of events, friendships, family occasions, pastimes
and impressions that might have been forgotten for years.
Each Kit contains:
Life Story Book

Professional Writing and Editing Assistance
for Authors of
Memoirs, Biographies and Autobiographies

Memoirs, autobiographies and biographies can be a wealth of information,
insight and even humour. Or they can be boring monologues that make
us wonder why the author bothered at all.
No life is full of tedium and boredom. Though some can appear that
way.
It's all in the telling, the choice of words and the way they are conveyed,
which either leads us on a journey of discovery, or leaves us stranded
at the first chapter without the enthusiasm to read further.
|
Stories of people's lives inspire, amaze and teach us. Not only about
life in bygone eras, but also about tenacity, endurance and the ability
to accept things as they are while striving to overcome obstacles, loss,
and the less than winning cards the Fates inevitably deal at certain
times in everyone's life.
You might have all the information in anecdotal stories, notes, letters
and journals, but be unsure how to form it into a coherent and interesting
manuscript.
|
Alternatively, perhaps you have written the book, but lack experience
in how to incorporate lively narrative and personal perspective to make
the words live on the pages.
Maybe your manuscript needs only a polish, to make sure there are no
glaring grammatical errors or misspellings.
At whatever point you have reached in writing a life story or family
history, as a professional writer and editor I will assist you to achieve
your goal - to produce a manuscript that captures readers' attention
and holds their interest.

|
It will be a collaboration of minds, knowledge and skills. Though,
of course, the book is ultimately your work, told in your voice with
your words enhanced for reading pleasure. In short, I will help you
create a book to be proud of, which is valued as a legacy for future
generations.
Manuscript Assessment and Editing Services are available for those
authors well on the way with their biographies and autobiographies.
