What does a personal historian do?
A personal historian provides the motivation, structure, prompting, and encouragement to help you tell your story. If you like to write, I work with you to write your story, providing prompts, coaching, and editing. If you are more comfortable talking than writing, I digitally record conversations which may be conducted either in person or on the telephone. If your budget permits, these conversations can be transcribed and edited to create a narrative story. If you like, we can include family photos and create a book from the story.
Can I write my memoir myself?
Yes, you can, and there are many books and classes to help you do it. Yet, the reality is that most people never get around to doing it on their own.
