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 twelve months later!

Interview
INTERVIEWS
If we’re creating a book of corporate stories or a memoir for you, we start with what you have written. We record interviews to fill in gaps. We transcribe the interviews, and then edit 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
DESIGN AND PRINTING
We design the book to be congruent with the text and photographs. We provide you with a final draft for signoff before sending the book to the printer. We can design the book to incorporate special memorabilia—like letters, drawings, handwritten notes—in pockets or envelopes which we tip in by hand after the book is printed.

OPTIONAL HAND BINDING AND/OR SCULPTURAL ELEMENTS
We can bind your book by hand, which allows more options for book size and materials. We can also incorporate some three-dimensional, sculptural element(s) to make your book a work of “book art.” Or we can create a special slipcase for you to display one or more copies of the book.

DELIVERY
This is the most exciting part of the project—seeing your response to your finished book! Typically the whole process takes nine months to a year and a half, depending on the scope of the project and other books in the queue.
