What's a Raconteur?
A person who tells anecdotes in a skillful and amusing way; a storyteller; a narrator
How it Works
Step 1. Consultation
During the telephone or in-person consultation, the Raconteur project manager learns about your story, discusses your goals, answers questions, provides an estimate, and schedules your interviews.
Step 2. Interview
The writer meets you at your home.
She asks guided interview questions and
listens to additional information you add.
Step 3. Photo Selection
You receive a custom photo checklist to guide you while gathering treasured photographs. The writer will assist you in selecting the best quality photographs that complement the narrative.
Step 4. Writing
The writer transforms your interview transcript into a unified story, striving to keep your voice intact while she organizes memories, consolidates ideas, and refines your narrative.
Step 5. Design
The designer formats your life story’s text and photos in a completely custom layout, using fonts and colors that fit you. She also creates a unique cover for your book.
Step 6. Review
You review the book's manuscript, photo integration, and cover design before publication. Raconteur proofreaders and editors review it too.
Step 7. Your Life Story
After the Raconteur team formats your book, it goes to press. A beautiful heirloom book emerges within a few weeks.
