Storytelling

“Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can’t remember who we are or why we’re here.”

Sue Monk-Kidd, author

Have YOU got a story to tell?

Everyone has a story!  Whether it  is one amazing experience or  many moments from a full and interesting life, YOUR story deserves to be heard. 

Your captured memories will make an ideal gift and provide a lasting legacy for your family  to keep and share with others.

Capturing your personal stories is a truly rewarding experience.  Turning them into a high quality, illustrated booklet for you and your family to treasure and pass on makes it even more so!

Why not let us record YOUR family stories?

Julie and Liz are experienced, empathetic and professional interviewers who will work flexibly  with you to  capture your stories, perhaps previously untold.  A few weeks later, after you have checked that the story is as you would like it,  you will receive a high-quality booklet to keep. We can include your own full-colour pictures  or EVEN find suitable images to illustrate it if you wish.

Our service includes:

  • meeting and interviewing you or your family member, at home or a place of your choice
  • writing and editing the story for you to check , amend and approve
  • producing a high-quality, illustrated booklet for you to treasure and keep

What does it cost?

As a guide, you can expect to pay as little as £350 for our package including two interviews of two hours each, plus writing, editing, designing and printing a booklet of 8 pages. Your detailed quotation  will depend on the number of words, pages and images in your story and how many copies of your book you would like.  

Please contact us for more information and an informal chat.
