Life story interviews

Writing a memoir? Finish your story with help from Evalogue.Life - cabin on the water photo

We conduct professional life story interviews, which are often given as gifts to parents or grandparents. This can be a real breakthrough for anyone writing a memoir, biography, or family history story because this is often the easiest way to get it done.  Each interview takes several hours of our time and includes the initial consultation, a list of life story questions, approximately 50 minutes of audio recording, audio files on a flash drive, and the interviewer notes.

Available in any amount, life story interview gift certificates are a meaningful alternative to buying “stuff.” We have many families give their parents, grandparents or partner a life story interview for special occasions. Use the contact form below to reach out and get more information about scheduling an interview.
