The Process

Step 1: Free Consultation

You reach out to me for a free 20-minute conversation. We’ll meet in person, phone, or Zoom, and you’ll tell me your goals. I’ll explain the process and answer questions, with no obligation or pressure.

Step 2: Project Planning

We define the scope of your project, review existing materials, and create an interview outline. Then we’ll finalize timing and pricing.

Step 3: Interview Sessions

Either in person or via Zoom, we’ll have 60- or 90-minute conversations where I you share stories and I ask guiding questions. Scheduling is flexible based on your schedule and comfort.

Step 4: Writing

When the interviews are finished, I will start the writing. When I’m done, I’ll send you the draft so you can read and provide feedback. I’ll revise accordingly.

Step 5: Design

Once you’ve approved the manuscript, I’ll lay out the book
with your photos and stories.

6. Finish

The process is complete! You will receive a copy of your final story, book, or collection, along with an audio file of the interview sessions and a PDF of the manuscript to keep and share. ​
