Frequently Asked Questions

To start, contact me with your needs and questions.

Timelines vary by the scope of the project, types of media incorporated, and your pace. One year is typical for book projects.
Websites can range from several weeks to a few months depending on the number of pages and the level of writing and media production involved.
-
Absolutely. Family interviews, shared sessions, or collaborative storytelling can add richness and connection. Participation is flexible and based on your preferences.
-
Yes. I welcome working with institutions and organizations. Over decades I have produced advocacy media, courses and live presentations for universities, nonprofits and cultural institutions. Learn more about my background here.

You do not need writing experience.
For book projects, the core content will be drawn from interview transcripts that I shape and you review, providing feedback for revisions.
For memoir projects, you will shape the transcript material and I’ll supply guidance and developmental editing. -
It’s possible to scale up or down a project. For instance I can just record interviews, or just provide writing and not the book formatting and production. Or I can make a book of conversations from transcripts instead of prose.
This is also true for creating websites. Each service can be engaged individually, and we can select just the service or services you need to serve your budget and project.
