What people are saying about us

Our family had a very positive and enjoyable experience working with Gabriella to capture the life stories of both my parents. Despite their initial reservations, both mum and dad relaxed into the story sharing process and have been very pleased with the manuscript that Gabriella created as a result. I’ve really appreciated the collaborative nature of the process, and Gabriella’s openness to extended family inputs.
Now to complete the story with design and photos and have our book! Thanks Gabriella – we highly recommend you as a partner for anyone looking to capture random memories into a flowing, personalised narrative!

Gabriella and Ian made this such a wonderful experience. The journey, in recalling the past, bought back great memories, some of which hadn’t been remembered for years. Gabriella writes in a way that gives colour and life to the story. Ian does an incredible job collating the photos, translating black and white photos to colour, and hunting down extra photos that we had thought were forever lost. The book itself is beautifully presented. The details of Mum’s life story would quickly fade once she is gone, despite being much loved by us, and we are overjoyed at the result. Thank you so much Gabriella and Ian.

Gabriella ghostwrote and helped complete a project l had been working on for a couple of years – but ran out of creative steam. Her well-structured and disciplined approach to writing was a pleasure to work with and actually assisted us in providing all the necessary information for Gabriella to weave her lyrical magic. Thanks for helping us put the finishing touches on our book about our little soldier.

Gabriella produced something we’d been dreaming of for decades, but felt totally overwhelmed by doing on our own. Capturing 100+ years of our family history brilliantly, recording our voices and researching the broader context incredibly well. I can’t wait to see it in print. Thanks Gabriella!

Gabriella’s process is friendly, thorough and professional. She produced a wonderful story.

Gabriella is an incredible writer and story-teller!

I think that lots of people doing interesting and important, and maybe even inspiring things, can be too busy most of the time actually doing those things to describe them – for ourselves, and to pass on to other people. If you are still too busy living your life to spend four years of it writing it up as a / another thesis or similar, consider something more human but no less intelligent. A few hours telling your story through Gabriella’s perceptive interviewing and deft writing are definitely (a surprisingly few) hours well spent. And the finished result just looks and reads so well.

You will reach a chapter in life and ask, ‘What was this journey all about?’ Often, we pass on with little left to be shared with family, friends and the world. The Memoir solves this.

Sit quietly and reflect on your life. List a chronology, and you will be surprised at what is revealed.  Then to Gabriella for guidance in structure and editing, as I have done. Start your Memoir, and you will not stop.  A wonderful chapter in life.’

Gabriella recorded my story in the most magnificent way. She shared pivotal moments in my life and importantly captured the less tangible elements such as my values, feelings and sense of self.
I’m grateful Gabriella crafted my story so sensitively and intuitively.

Gabriella\’s story about me is nothing short of fabulous!!

It’s my story, but Gabriella had me in tears. So very happy with it

I’m blown away.
Gabriella put something great together.

Gabriella has a natural gift for storytelling. She has a knack for converting my notes and memories into a cohesive story. She made the process so easy.
