For people who have spent a career in a trade and keep being told they should write it down. You will not write it down. I will. How it goes: we do recorded sessions, usually two hours at a time, in your shop or your kitchen rather than anywhere formal. I transcribe and I go away and I come back with chapters in your voice, which you then tear apart. Most books take between sixty and a hundred and forty hours of my time across nine months to a year, including the interviewing. I have finished three. A lobster dealer, a paper mill millwright and a woman who ran a machine shop in Lewiston for thirty one years. Two are in print with a regional press and one is a family edition of eighty copies, which is a completely legitimate thing to want. Billed at 125 an hour with a twenty hour minimum, invoiced monthly, and you can stop at any month. Your name goes on it, not mine, and I will sign whatever confidentiality you want. I am booked until March 2027 but I will talk to you now.
