4.  The interviews are recorded to gather your stories for transcribing.
5.  Photos and other relevant documents that you would like included are collected in the interview process.
6.  Your stories are then compiled and edited for consistency and cohesion while still maintaining your voice throughout.

8.  Once the content is finalised it is printed and you will have a record of your life.

NDIS 
For Australians receiving funds through the NDIA you can have one on one support at a reasonable rate ($80/hour) to write your own life stories or your memoir. This can be over zoom or face to face (if in Adelaide). I will create a service agreement specifically for you. 
​ As I am a social worker this funding can come from your capacity building or core funding.
