"Personal History in a Week"
A Unique Approach
Are you having trouble finding the time to complete your history, promising yourself you'll get to it someday, when you have some "free time?" You might want to consider attending our unique "Personal History in a Week" immersive workshop.
In our workshops, we don't just give you tips and tools and leave you alone to write your own history. We guide you through the entire process until your personal history is finished.
The workshop price includes the finished book and video.
At the workshop, we will guide you through the process of choosing and recording your most important and compelling stories. By the end of the workshop, we will have the raw materials—a narrative transcript, video interviews, and scanned photos— which Pictures and Stories will then use to create your custom personal history book and DVD.
Our next local immersive workshop will be in St. George, Utah in April, 2012. Contact us for details.
