A few words on pricing - Time and Transformation…

There is no way around it. Writing an interesting biography is a time consuming process. Travelling, interviewing, transcribing, researching, and writing add up to hundreds of hours. That is why so many people begin their own, and then call me. One, recently, had spent three years on his story.

A writer is a Pied Piper leading readers not into the badlands of boredom where they rush for the nearest exit, but to a place where they look forward to the next page. The ability to compile a lifetime of information and transform it into a good story requires literary architecture, structure, rhythm, balance, and creative skills honed by years of biographical writing.
