Pricing & Process
The Life Canvas Biographies Process
Step 1
Kick-off
The client is briefed on the process and discusses their vision for the biography.
Step 2
Survey & Research
To begin crafting the interview questions and gathering preliminary information, a set of surveys are sent out, which a family member fills out.
Step 3
Interview:
Online or in person, an interview is conducted to gather additional information from either the subject of the biography or their loved ones.
Step 4
Writing First Draft, Text-only
I complete the first draft of the biography, excluding pictures and media, then send it to a family member to review and suggest edits that I will implement in the final draft for free.
Step 5
Addition of Media
I add pictures, newspaper clippings, and other forms of media to the text document, in the chapters that family members select.
Step 6
Receipt of Final PDF
After making the final payment for the service, the family will receive the final PDF copy of their biography.
Step 7
Enjoy & Share
For years to come, the family can cherish and distribute this biography to be comforted and informed by their loved one’s memory.
Pricing
Everyone’s life story is unique. That’s why I offer a range of options to ensure you find the perfect fit for your goals, budget & vision.
