Biograph

A portrait in words

A Biograph captures what has been important to you.

[Walter Taylor - Looking Back]

We only have one life and we can be so busy living it that we never spend time thinking about what has happened to us or we start writing and then do not get around to finishing.

Produced from three guided conversations that enable you to reflect on what has been significant in your life, the Biograph process allows you to have your thoughts recorded, transcribed and edited into a private manuscript or an elegant book.

It is an enjoyable and rewarding experience that culminates in a lasting record for future generations of your family.

A Biograph can remain private and confidential or it makes a unique and lasting gift.

[Eve Shaw - For The Record]

Eve Shaw started her Biograph:

I want to have something to give that is a family resource. I want to be able to say this is how I saw things, this is who I am, and these are the things that are important to me at age fifty. Whether or not they would want to have that bit of me I don’t know but I want to be able to make it available to them should they ever be interested in who I am and what I hold about our family.

[Helen Roberts - A Little Bit of HMR]

Helen Roberts writes:

I thought that it would be hard to get a Biograph written but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The interviewer led me along and helped me recall so many facets of my life that I had forgotten; so many funny little incidents and then people who have influenced me.

All my working life has been spent in education as a teacher, headmistress and inspector. I was lucky to be working at a time when there was freedom to experiment. Thinking and talking about it, I realise how much we achieved; how much enthusiasm and creativity there was. I'm really pleased to have it documented.
