Tell Your Story

    I will work with you to tell your story and preserve and publish it as a lovely, impressive book for future generations.  I have written seven biographies, eight autobiographies, three lifetime love stories (about wonderful marriages), one full family history...and assisted many individuals in writing and publishing their own books.  It is what I love to do.

    Every individual's life is unique, filled with drama, humor, love, family, challenges to overcome, high points and low,

and ultimately the striving to live a fulfilling life.

​

    I spend many months interviewing you to make sure I get the full story.  And I always try to make sure we have an enjoyable time

so we both look forward to each session.

   Every single person I've worked with offers a glowing recommendation.

    Your finished book will be thorough, professional, distinctive, impressive and entertaining. 

    I also interview friends, family members and business associates and do thorough research.  We can even hire a  professional genealogist,

if you wish.

​

      Art direction includes as many photos as you want to use, handsome layouts and elegant type. We can either use a hard cover format with foil stamping and a faux leather surface (to create an enduring "family treasure" look)

or an exciting, full color, photographic or illustrated soft cover paperback.

   Your choice. 

   Your finished book will be greatly admired.

​

     I also assist people who wish to write their own book, including all story planning, coaching, full editorial services and publishing. If we work together, you will finish your book. Each person I've assisted in writing their own book has been delighted with the outcome.

     Take a moment to look at some of the books I've written.  (Select the "About" section at the top of the page for a summary of each of my projects.)  Every single past customer is a reference (except, sadly, for a few who have passed on). 

​

   I will be happy to visit you to discuss what you want to accomplish.

Biographies

   Biographies tell about a person's life and capture the high points, events and people that make it special.  We might start with a huge event in your life, perhaps a turning point that steered you into your future direction.  Then we might backtrack to your family's history, your youth and school years, then to launching your first career, meeting your wife, starting your family and special events from later in life.

   What made you what you are?  What lessons did you learn?  What philosophies came to be foremost in your life and accomplishments?

    Your life is different from any other person who ever lived.  You cannot imagine the thrill your family and future descendants receive when they get to reflect on it long into the future.

Autobiographies

   Autobiographies have all the elements of a biography, but are told in the first person with you as the narrator. It is your life story with everything in your viewpoint.  All the events are told in your words and your personal thoughts and observations are addressed by you.

   I can serve as your ghost writer or assist you in all the assorted ways to write your book yourself...then publish it.
