Pricing

No hourly rates, and nothing added later.

Three ways to work together, whatever this moment calls for. Every story is finalised by me, whichever of these you choose.

What's included

What The Life Story's price actually covers.

SessionsRecorded conversations with you, however many the story needs

PhotographsYours, restored where needed and woven through
The finished bookCloth bound hardback, foil blocked title, three printed copies plus a digital copy

Extras

If you need more.

Edited recordingsQuoted at the end of the project, so you keep the voice as well as the words
Extra copiesFrom £95 each, whenever the family wants them

Most families share the cost between them. Tell me how many of you there are and I will invoice each of you separately.

Why it costs what it does

This is real, unhurried work.

A life story is not a transcript. Behind every finished book is genuine time spent listening, drafting, and redrafting until the person's own voice comes through properly. The price reflects that time honestly. There are no hidden hourly rates stacked on top later.

There is no obligation, no pressure, and no salesperson at the end of it. Only me.
