A no‑pressure conversation to understand your needs, timing, and relation to your loved one.

Time: 20 minutes via Zoom, phone, or in-person (if local).

Secure your start date with a deposit and simple consent form.

When you’re ready, I’ll send a short proposal with the scope, price, and a 25% deposit link to reserve your start date; you’ll also receive a plain‑language confidentiality/consent form to e‑sign. I’ll follow with a Welcome & Prep Guide that explains how to share notes, photos, or voice memos—only what you’re comfortable sharing. Drafting has not begun yet, so your deposit remains refundable until I send the Draft Start Notice.

Time: Same day once paperwork is complete.

I schedule 1–3 interviews (virtual or in person) with the individual (if prehumous) and/or family or with close family (if posthumous). I also accept letters, notes, voicemails, photos—anything that helps me capture their voice and presence.

Time: 1-2 weeks

Using your input, I carefully craft a personalized letter, memoir, storybook, or tribute. You’ll receive a draft for review and edits as needed.

Time: 1-2 weeks depending on the project

Final pieces are delivered digitally and/or in printed form. If you selected a shadow box or keepsake, I will package and ship with care.
