Estimating Costs

      Quote

Every project is different, and there are many variables that affect cost. But we understand that it’s hard to consider a LifeWriter project without a sense of the necessary investment. Below, we’ve described three sample projects. The cost figures are for estimation only. We’ll give you a firm quote and sign a letter of agreement once we’ve developed a clear understanding of your vision for your project. 

SAMPLE PROJECT 1:

3-Hour Audio Interview on Compact Disk
Professional interviewing in your home, using high-quality digital recording equipment. The product is a set of audio tapes or CDs, presented in an attractive, personalized package.
$260

SAMPLE PROJECT 2:

Written Transcript of a 3-Hour Interview
A typed word-for-word transcript of the interview sessions, lightly edited for continuity. The product is a set of audio tapes or CDs, plus a spiral-bound copy of the transcript.

SAMPLE PROJECT 3:

Heirloom Book
A smoothly flowing, easy-to-read narrative, based on transcribed interviews and written in the narrator’s own voice.
