Life Story Collection
Preserve several meaningful stories in one thoughtful keepsake
Some lives cannot be held in a single story.
The Life Story Collection is designed for the memories, seasons, relationships, and turning points that deserve more room. Through two private story sessions, I gather the stories that matter most, then shape them into a polished written collection your family can read, revisit, and pass down.
This is not a full memoir, and it is not a stack of transcripts. It is a curated collection of meaningful life stories, written with care, warmth, and attention to the person behind the memories.
The sessions may be spaced apart so memory has time to keep working. Often, one story opens the door to another. A childhood memory leads to a family ritual. A work story reveals a value. A remembered place becomes the thread that holds a whole season together.
The result is a substantial keepsake: a small collection of written pieces that preserves not only what happened, but how it felt, what mattered, and what still shines.
What’s included
Two 60–90 minute private, one-on-one story sessions
Three to five professionally written story pieces or sections
A substantial written collection, typically 12,000–20,000 words, depending on the shape of the stories.
One review opportunity for light revisions, clarifications, or factual corrections before printing
One beautifully designed digital PDF collection
One beautifully printed keepsake collection
Optional additional printed copies available for purchase within one month of delivery
Timeline
Your review copy will typically be ready within 4–6 weeks after the final story session.
After you approve the text, I’ll prepare the final PDF and printed keepsake. Printing timelines may vary, but most finished collections are completed within approximately 10 business days after approval, depending on print timing.
You’ll receive a review copy before anything goes to print, so there is time for factual corrections, spelling of names, clarifying details, or light wording adjustments.
Ideal for
Several meaningful life chapters
A parent or grandparent’s stories
Family history and memory
A milestone birthday or anniversary
Preserving someone’s voice over time
Adult children who want a substantial keepsake for the family
Stories that need more room than a single profile, but do not require a full legacy book
