Books, Mini Books and Biographies with Rosemary Phillips

You have a story to tell. Everyone has a story to tell. Or maybe you have a parent who has a story that family would love to have on record. But how do you tell it? How do you put it together and print it?

Writing a Biography - it can be short, it can be long

Be it short, a few pages, or long, book length, I can act as ghost-writer or the “with” to help you organize your material and tell your story in a voice that sounds like you. Either with tape-recorded interviews or telephone interviews, I will help you feel at ease as you tell your story. When you are at ease, then the story just pours out with feeling. The key here is comfort.

Printing your story

Once the story or stories have been reviewed and you feel comfortable with the final copy, arrangements can be made for printing and production in a variety of formats from simple photocopying and three ringed folders or stapling, to printers and bindery, all in your home town.

Said old Wallace Baikie, logger and historian, in 1986:

“To Rosemary Phillips go many thanks for helping me put this together.”

Wallace was referring to his books “Strathcona, a history of British Columbia’s first Provincial Park” and then “From Gypo to BTO, the first twenty-five years of the Truck Loggers’ Association of British Columbia” both compiled by Wallace Baikie, with myself providing the organization, editing, typesetting and paste-up. Included were Wallace’s memories and stories of his adventures. Wallace was in his 80s at the time and he confided that doing these books was helping keep him alive. He wanted to leave a legacy.

My own biographical and autobiographical publication is “Sliced Bread – Notes from a Baker’s Rebel Daughter”.
