Creation of
Family History Books
Your family history deserves to be preserved in a meaningful and engaging way. I specialize in creating personalized family history books that capture the essence of your ancestors and their stories.
What I Offer
Using the information you’ve gathered, I will create a beautifully designed family history book tailored to your preferences.
This includes writing biographies of your ancestors based on the details you provide.
To make the stories come alive, I incorporate historical events and cultural context that your ancestors would have experienced, turning names and dates into compelling narratives.
Books are designed in US Letter Size (8.5x11),
making them versatile for:
-
Printing at home
-
Sending digitally to family members as a PDF
-
Professional printing services like Lulu.com
HOW IT WORKS
1. Free Consultation
We’ll begin with a free video consultation to discuss the style and scope of your project.
During this meeting, we’ll determine:
-
How many people will be included in your family tree.
-
The type of layout you prefer.
-
Whether you want biographies written.
-
The number of photos and other elements you’d like to include.
2. Contract Proposal
After our consultation, I’ll send you a detailed contract outlining the scope of work and an estimated cost based on your project details.
3. Project Start
Once the contract is signed and a deposit of 50% of the estimated total cost is paid, I’ll begin creating your book.
4. Draft Review & Edits
-
Upon completion of the draft, I’ll send you an invoice for 50% of the remaining balance.
-
After payment, you’ll receive the draft to review and suggest edits.
-
You can send back the draft with any changes, and I’ll revise it.
5. Final Delivery
Once the final version is approved, I’ll send you the completed family history book and an invoice for the remaining balance.
RATE
I charge $40 per hour, with a time estimate provided during the consultation. The cost will depend on the project’s complexity, including the number of people, biographies, and additional design elements.
