Toby To The Rescue - A Life to Live

By Henry Wilson 

 

A memoir about life, resilience and love. What may present as an "ordinary" life story is anything but! Henry shows how we endure, fight and keep going in life despite some soul-crushing episodes that life has in store for us.

HOW YOUR MEMOIR IS CREATED

 

A simple, personal process

from conversation to a beautiful book

We begin with a conversation

You tell me your story

I create your memoir

We talk about the memories you'd like to preserve, who the book is for and what you hope it will become.

There's no obligation and nothing to prepare.

Through relaxed, guided conversations,

I help you revisit the people, places and experiences that shaped your life.

You don't need to write anything yourself.

I shape your memories into a compelling narrative written in your voice.

You review the manuscript before it is professionally designed, proofread and printed as a beautiful book.

Most memoirs are completed within approximately four to six months.
