Little Life Stories

Capture Your Memories, Write Your Legacy

Every memory you hold tells a piece of your unique story - and deserves to be saved.

My Story With Stories

I've always found magic in sharing life's moments through words. From my childhood diaries to the letters tracking my son Lew's first steps and silly sayings, writing has been my happy place.

Losing my mum when I was young taught me something I'll never forget: our stories are precious gifts that keep connections alive across time and generations.

What I've Discovered About Personal Stories

Through my "Dear Nan" project, I've realised something beautiful - storytelling isn't about perfect writing or fancy language. It's about sharing from the heart. Our stories help us remember, heal, and keep love flowing between us and those we care about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a payment plan?

Yes, I have recently added After Pay to my payment options so now you have the handiness of making payments over a period of weeks rather one upfront payment.

Once the initial 1:1 session is over, will I have access to you again?

Yes, of course you will! The whole point of LLS is for you to feel supported throughout your writing process. After the initial session you will receive a weekly email from me for the following 6 weeks. Each week I will encourage you to make contact with me, via email, and share what's been going on for you, any questions you might have, any difficulties or challenges you are facing, wins you are having, accountability you are needing, anything at all to do with your writing journey.

Plus, we will also have monthly video calls that will continue after the emails have ended, where you can ask questions, share your process, feel supported, and connect with fellow LLS members. This will be an ongoing arrangement.

What will be inside the emails you send?

All of the juicy bits will be inside those 6 emails. There will be hints and ideas for retrieving your memories, activities to help you flesh out those memories and feel confident writing your story. There will be suggestions on helping you find your authentic writing voice, dealing with writer's block, keeping motivated and inspired, organising your story, accountability and more.

How often would it be OK for me to email you during the 6 weeks?

As much as you need. I want you to feel supported and held during your writing process. Being able to ask questions and share any difficulties along the way is a vital part of LLS. I don't want you to feel isolated and so the emails give us that thread of connection and help you whenever you get stuck or need a gentle nudge forward.

Do I have to share my writing with anyone?

No, of course you don't. You don't have to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. I do, however, encourage sharing your writing with me. You don't have to, but members who do share their writing have found it a more productive experience as I am able to offer better help that way.

I'd like to write my story but I'm not a writer. Could I still join Little Life Stories?

Most definitely! I would also argue that everyone has the potential to write their story. You do not need to have writing experience. Did you write letters as a child? Did you ever keep a diary or journal? Then you can write your story.

What if I want to write my mum/dad/grandparent's story, can I do that instead of my own?

Of course you can. As long as you have access to memories and experiences and conversations with that person, then you will be able to write their stories.
