micro memoirs
Story Keepers is a micro memoir writing service that aims to foster connection with self, within families and communities by capturing and preserving the unique experiences and knowledge life has given you.
Writing a micro memoir is a reflective process that can celebrate life’s important milestones, provide inspiration, offer healing and closure, support the continuation of legacy and culture and foster connection and belonging. Story Keepers will work alongside you to facilitate the process to meet the intentions you set for your micro memoir.
The length of a micro memoir is flexible but generally speaking they can be anywhere up to 3,000 words focusing on a specific experience, insight or subject. Micro memoirs will look different for everyone and there is room for flexibility, but here are some ideas to consider:
childhood experiences and memories
cultural stories, knowledge and traditions
family history
a collection of short stories to accompany old cherished photographs
a significant and impactful life event
a collaborative project with family and/or friends to honor someone special
If you have something else in mind, we'd love to hear it. You can get in touch here.
what to expect
To help you decide whether Story Keepers is the right fit for you, you'll receive a free consultation to discuss your requirements and the process.
If you are happy to go ahead, your first interview is booked at which an audio recording will take place.
A written micro memoir will be drafted from the audio recording of the interview. There will be further interviews and conversations to clarify information and obtain further details.
You will review the draft micro memoir, provide feedback and request changes until you are happy with the final product.
The micro memoir will then be finalised and provided to you in an agreed format.
