Young Once

COMING SOON – I will be launching “Young Once” — a highly personalized, empathetic and guided way for people to tell their stories, in their own words, just as they remember them. From funny childhood moments to life lessons and family tales, it’s a simple, guided way to capture the memories that make someone who they are. Those stories are then turned into a private book or audio keepsake that families can enjoy, laugh over, and pass down together.

Remember, we are all “Young Once”

Options

There are a number of options depending upon your budget and how much of the “work” you want to do yourself. The reason we have set this service up is that whilst there are other offerings on the market, we know that people don’t consistently keep up writing a journal or a regime of answering questions dripped to them week after week. We feel it’s better to have a proper relaxing conversation as a single exercise, over one or a few sessions. These can be in person (BH Postcode, or at a negotiated cost elsewhere) or via Zoom (worldwide).

Whilst some will feel more comfortable talking to someone else, others will prefer to do the interview with a family member or friend. We have options – all of these offer a highly personalized, confidential and private service to deliver a terrific heirloom for your family.

We all wish we knew more about our parents, grandparents and beyond. Whilst a Will can help your money to be passed on, a Young Once book will enable your stories, guidance and personality to be shared – as a wonderful and unique gift for future generations.

By the Fireside

Imagine a cosy chat by the fireside in a country pub reminiscing about old times!

In this experience, which again can be audio and/or visual, our host will help you relax and draw out your best funny and heartfelt stories.

As well as an audio/video file (to download or on a USB stick based upon your preference) the interview is extracted and refined into a fabulous hardback book.

Self Guided

The previous options involve a relaxed and professional interview with one of our empathetic hosts.

In some situations however you may prefer the interview or chat to be with a family member or a friend. We can provide you with the tools and guidance you need to run the interview / conversation.

Then simply send us back the audio/ video recording and we will do the rest to professionally create the audio/video show and the book

From £150

The Write Stuff

We will send you a fullyguided notebook to write in. This will allow you to think about questions designed to stimulate thoughts and memories.

Whilst this book can be a comprehensive family heirloom in its own right, there is also the option to upgrade later by sending us the filled-out book to be edited and converted into a professional hardback volume (additional costs apply).
