Do you want to preserve stories and memories of a loved one who is alive or who has passed away? Do you want to involve friends or family of the loved one so they can contribute their memories? Contact me for a free 30 minute consultation and we can discuss who you would like to create a tribute memoir for, the type of content you would like to gather, other loved ones you would like to include, and a timeline for when you would like to complete the memoir by. I will then create a proposal with an estimated quote for services.

Maybe you want to be the one leading the process for creating a memoir and you just need someone to coach you through the process and offer advice as needed. During our 30 minute consultation we will discuss your plan for creating the memoir and identify the areas of support that you will need from me. I will develop a coaching plan based on your interests and schedule.
“I wanted to write a memoir because my children urged me to write down all the stories I told them over the years. Whenever I was together with my children and grandchildren telling stories, they wanted me to write a book. I told them stories of my teenage years growing up in New York with all my family and friends. I can’t say enough about Katlin. If it was not for all her help and expertise and dedication to writing, I would still be writing. I would recommend you get in touch with Katlin as she is a tremendous help in memoir writing.”
