Writing family stories before they're gone
What could be more important than getting family history written and recorded? Here's how I help.
I'm Mike, a writing specialist based in Whangarei.
My favourite clients in 2018 were families who needed their elders' stories taped, typed and turned it into a book or website so the stories are never lost. I help with recording oral interviews so our elders voices and tales can be shared with the rest of the family.
Please sing out if you'd like some help writing your whanau stories, whether you need a quick hour of assistance or a big piece of ghostwriting taken care of.
