PROCESS
We try to make it as easy as possible for you. For example, for a memoir you might: a) choose 50 to 150 photographs, b) set aside 4 to 8 hours so we can interview you, and c) review the final draft. We’ll do the rest. And you can enjoy a wonderful 150‑ to 200‑page book nine to fifteen months from when we start!

Interview
INTERVIEWS
If we’re creating a set of corporate stories or a memoir for you, we start with what you have written. We record interviews to fill in gaps. We draft the text into a cohesive whole. We retain your conversational style and “voice” as much as we can. We provide you with a copy of the text for your review.

PHOTOGRAPHS AND DOCUMENTS
We ask you to gather photographs, documents, and memorabilia. We scan the photographs and documents, label them with you, and then touch up the scanned images to remove the most noticeable dust marks or blemishes (not including scratches or creases).

DESIGN AND PRINTING
We design the book with the text and photographs. We provide you with a final draft for signoff before sending the book to the printer. We can design your story to incorporate special memorabilia—like letters, drawings, handwritten notes. The original or copies can be included in pockets or envelopes which we tip in by hand after the book is printed.
