Many of our authors at LifeBook probably think of themselves as ordinary people, but really, they aren’t ordinary at all.
LifeBook Memoirs editor Ben Creeth shares his experience of working on another of his favourite projects.
LifeBook had the honour of helping SteelFab, Inc. write their corporate history “From Cottonfields to Skyscrapers”. We learned about their fascinating journey from a small handrail fabrication shop in Charlotte, NC to their position today as one of the nation’s largest suppliers of fabricated structural steel.
Journalist Saul Kamionsky, South African Jewish Report, spoke with Johannesburg born LifeBook founder Roy about his memories and business philosophies. Roy reveals how a gift a teacher made to a 7-year-old boy departing South Africa for a new beginning in Jersey was the opening chapter of a very eventful life.
BBC recently invited Roy to discuss the growing interest in writing memoirs and autobiographies. He also shared how it all started when he wanted to capture his father Jules’ stories and sent his personal assistant to document everything. After Jules’ book was finalised, he wanted to help others with their memoirs.
Here at LifeBook we often come across the reluctant author who has been gifted a project. However, once they see the immense value their finalised memoir brings to family and friends, they are happy they agreed to go ahead. John was one of them; his memoir is a joy to read for his son and granddaughter. She finds that he was born under a Mulberry bush really funny.
How do you go about finding the perfect Christmas gift for your loved ones? A gift that is unique and special? The holidays are around the corner, and that means we are all making our lists, checking them twice, and racking our brains for gift ideas for those who managed to earn a coveted spot on the list of “nice.”
Stephanie Hirst, BBC Radio Leeds, recently invited LifeBook’s founder Roy to talk about how writing a memoir could give lonely and isolated older citizens an interesting project to work on. Roy spoke about how his father Jules got his appetite for life back when he wrote his memoir “Life Is For Sharing”.
As with any traditional event, customs change over the years, and gifts are becoming popular at Thanksgiving. Customised and experience presents are particularly favoured as many people move away from material possessions. Perhaps, you want to express your gratitude to a loved one with a memoir this year.
Roy had a great discussion about how we have pivoted our customer journey since the beginning of the pandemic and his passion for tackling loneliness. Not only does a LifeBook memoir provide a meaningful project during the Covid-19 restrictions but the team also stays in touch with former customers living alone.
