Life Storytelling

Every life has a story worth telling.

Personal life story writing and memoir services in Melbourne and online. Your memories are irreplaceable — let's make sure they're never lost.

My role is to accompany you as we navigate your memories together.

When we meet, I listen. We sit together — in person or online — for about an hour at a time (longer if you prefer), and you share your stories. I record our conversations so that nothing is lost.

Between our sessions, I turn those conversations into written drafts, shaping your words into a story that sounds just like you. The result is something real, something permanent, and something entirely yours.

All packages start with a free 30-minute meet and greet — a chance to get to know each other and make sure we're both comfortable before we begin.

Lisa Davidson, personal historian and memoir writer in Melbourne

Every story journey is unique.

Whether you're after a short personal memoir or a full family biography, customised packages are available and can be tailored to suit your needs. You'll receive a final bound copy of the story, with photos if you wish, and a Microsoft Word copy emailed to you, so you can continue to add to it over time. For travel time over an hour, additional costs may be incurred.
