If we move forward, you’ll complete a thoughtful intake and join me for a brief exploratory call. This ensures alignment and prepares us for the work ahead.

Secure Your Start Date

When you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send a short proposal outlining scope and pricing, along with a 50% deposit link to reserve your start date. You’ll also receive a clear, plain-language confidentiality and consent form to review and e-sign.

Shortly after, I’ll share the TLLP Welcome & Preparation Guide — a gentle overview of how to share notes, photographs, or voice memos, only if and when you feel comfortable.

Drafting does not begin at this stage. Your deposit remains fully refundable until you receive a formal Draft Start Notice confirming that writing has commenced.

I schedule one to three guided conversations, held virtually or in person. For prehumous projects, I meet with the individual to listen and reflect; for posthumous tributes, I gather stories from close family and loved ones.

You may also share letters, notes, voicemails, or photographs — anything that helps me understand voice, cadence, and presence with authenticity.

Your words are thoughtfully drafted and shaped into a cohesive, meaningful narrative. A revision round allows space for refinement, ensuring the final piece feels true to your voice and intention.

Once finalized, your letter or tribute is delivered in digital and/or printed form. Optional heirloom enhancements — including handwriting integration or framing — are available to further preserve voice and presence.
