Writer

We each have a story to tell about the life we have lived.

I am an accomplished writer and biographer who can support you to best tell your story – the right story for the right occasion. Let’s talk about it. Let’s write it down.

As a professional communications writer I have experience talking to people at all levels – whether in the business sector or on a personal level, I can capture the right information for the right occasion.

Biographer and Storyteller

It is my role to showcase your uniqueness to best effect – in the right way. Each of us is a very unique individual with a one-of-a-kind story to tell. These stories are like little gems – they tell the next generation just how unique we are.

Many people want to leave a record of their life for their children or grandchildren. It can be difficult to tackle this on your own when the prospect of writing it all down seems so daunting. Let me help you.

I have a real passion for talking to people and hearing their amazing stories. We can have a chat about what you would like to achieve, whom your story is for, and go from there. It could be a biography, that simply follows a timeline of your life and covers events as they happened; or it could be a more detailed memoir, targeting specific events or important milestones in your life; both offer insight into what you have experienced and learned over your lifetime.

Or you may want to write a letter to those you care about most – a son, a daughter, a mother, a father, a sibling, or even a very dear friend – your bestie. You might want to tell them something that they can read now, or after you have gone. It could be a personal message, reflecting your relationship with them, or sharing your wishes for them for their future.

Give me a call, and we can discuss the options that best suit you. After our chat, you may not want to do anything, and that’s okay too.
