How It Works

YOUR BOOK: Our purpose is to capture your personal story and deliver it with clarity and tone. We will produce a work that reflects both the facts and meaning of your life, and design it either for a private audience -- e.g., family and friends -- or for the general public, and make your story available in bookstores and on Amazon. We will also make it available on Kindle for electronic readers.

You may already have written your story, or a part of it, and just require some pre-publication polishing. Or you may have an attic-full of photographs and memorabilia, and your memories. And you would not be the first person whose life has been too personal to be recounted directly, and would be better set in a fictional format.

Our approach is to elicit the story from whatever information sources are available. The first step is to sit down with you and interview you about your life. It is a fascinating process in itself, because we are able to tap into your past, draw on your memory, to extract the salient points of your story.

This interviewing process -- it is practical even if you have a completed literary work -- is stimulating both for you and for us. Through the interview we are able to record a compendium of both facts and emotions, and thus create an honest and realistic book. Of course, you have the final say over what goes into your book, but in virtually all cases you will be pleased with what we have been able to draw from the recesses of your mind, and particularly how we then weave them into your story and eventually a book.

The interview will be transcribed, and then we will write through a narrative that is reflective and compellingly human. Stories can be told as biography, i.e., in the third person, or as autobiography in the first.

YOUR VIDEO: It may be that you want the interview process to be conducted with cameras so that we can produce your story in an electronic format. When you see yourself on your video you will know more about where you've been in your life, both through the myriad facts you've collected and the wide range of feelings you experienced. It is right there on the screen. A picture is worth ten thousand words -- yes, ten thousand; look it up in Bartlett's -- and the tremendous power of picture and sound can tell your story as clearly as if you were telling it live, right then and there.

We will take the raw interview and produce from it a video presentation of poignancy and purpose, history and heart. Tony Seton was Barbara Walters' news producer at ABC Network, and has conducted more than a thousand of his own interviews. Your video can be kept for your private use only, or we can arrange distribution for you on DVD. We can also make it available for sale to the public.

YOUR AUDIO: We will also make an audio version of your video production, which you can also distribute electronically and/or on CDs.

YOUR WEBSITE: Many people are satisfied to have a web presence through one of the social networks like Facebook. We are ready to produce something far more satisfying. We can put your story -- in word, pictures, audio and video -- on your own website. We can include links to your own important and favorite sites. All of this can be accomplished using your colors and style, and even with background music if you like.

OUR FEES: Fees are based on the unique requirements of each project.  A book produced from scratch will start at $25,000. Production expenses are additional and we add a 15% surcharge to sub-contracts. Total project costs vary depending on the story, the format(s), and the amounts and types of materials -- e.g., writing, photographs, audio and video, additional interviews, biographical research -- that are required to produce the story to our mutual standards. We recognize that every life is a work in progress, and so are meticulous in our detail. We will meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
