As an oral historian, I have interviewed a wide range of people, not only in English, but in German, and about a range of subjects from the ribald to the tragic, the personal to the philosophical. When someone asks me to interview one of his or her family members,  I do so, in one or more sessions.

The results are then up to the client; most often I have the interview transcribed, then edit it into a cohesive narrative. Working with the client, we often add photographs or other elements of the person’s life, and the result becomes a limited edition book for family and friends.

The results can be as simple as a CD, even a tape recording, or can range from a typed transcript to a narrative (her specialty), or can be a book of simplicity or complexity. She can also arrange for a videographer if requested.
