Interviews and Storytelling Sessions
At Share Your Legacy, one of the first steps in creating a memoir is to conduct
comprehensive interviews with your loved one.
Carried out either in person or on the phone, these interviews serve as the foundation of the narrative; allowing us to delve into the richness of your loved one’s life.
By asking thoughtful and open-ended questions, we not only elicit factual details but also the underlying emotions, which add real depth to the story.
These conversations often touch on specific themes or periods the subject wishes to highlight, providing a ‘roadmap’ for the narrative.
After gathering the raw material, we then identify the key themes of a loved one’s life that will become the backbone of the story.
These may include areas such as love and family, resilience, career achievements and personal growth; with these themes acting as ‘guiding principles’ to add to the structure of the narrative.
At Share Your Legacy, we are experienced in carefully selecting the anecdotes, events, and milestones of a person’s life, leading to a seamless and purposeful storyline.
