Phone or text chat
Choose one conversation format. Text chat starts on an agreed date and lasts seven calendar days. Send memories when it suits you; I’ll reply asynchronously with follow-up questions. The chat period is for gathering your story; writing and revisions follow.
Delivery and format
Your digital story is typically ready in around 7 business days after the call or seven-day chat period and receipt of your materials. Time awaiting your feedback may extend the schedule.
This is a digital-only service. A printed book, editable manuscript files, print-ready production files and a bilingual edition are not included.
