Everyone has a story to tell - and I’d love to help you tell yours Welcome to Life Story Writer
Your story is precious to you, your children and your grandchildren, and setting down it down on paper creates a lasting legacy for future generations.
I help you recall the significant moments of your life, then craft them into a beautifully written narrative for you to keep and share with your family. Your story is printed and bound into a full colour hardback book, complete with your choice of photographs to illustrate your story.
My name is Penny McCarthy, your personal Life Story Writer
With a wide range of experience of working with people from all walks of life - at the high points, but also in times of difficulty and trauma, I will work with you to tell your story the way you want it told. Whether it's for yourself, a parent, or a loved one, I’ll tell your story with respect, warmth, and authenticity.
