“Storytelling is fundamental to the human search for meaning. The past empowers the present and the groping footsteps leading to this present mark the pathways to the future.”

Tell Your Stories, Don’t Write Them

Compared to writers, storytellers have it easy. Struggling with typing can cause you to hesitate, be overly critical, to leave out material and take shortcuts. Many aspiring authors never finish writing their book at all. Yet when you're speaking, you tend to include the details, the delightful digressions, and the thoughtful asides that make stories so interesting. After all, you've been practicing this skill all your life!

Telling your stories also saves time and improves the quality of your book. Storytellers often say interesting things they never would have written, using their favorite phrases and “sayings”. This quality is called, in the literary world, “voice". Your readers will appreciate hearing your stories in your own words. They will say your book “sounds just like you.”

It’s as Easy as Talking on the Phone

We have all told stories on the phone. It's that simple. Simply call our telephone number and record your stories into your own voicemail recorder. Or consider a collaborative book, where more than one person, or even the whole family, records stories – there’s no limit! We use these sound recordings to transcribe your stories. Your editor then gathers your written stories and organizes them according to your book plan. In a very short time, after just a few hours of telephone recording, you can generate a draft manuscript, the foundation of your final book.

This service is included in our Complete Author's Program (CAP). Or you may you prefer to contract our transcription services on an hourly basis.
