Pricing for Memories by MemoriElaine
What's Included
As technology changes, it’s difficult to keep up. How many family videos still exist in slides and VHS or DVD format? One thing that never becomes obsolete is print. I can create a digital PDF or design a simple book that you can leave on your coffee table or share with others.
Simple Story
I will conduct a video or phone interview with the person to be featured. You decide how long of a story you'd like. Each interview hour yields roughly eight manuscript pages (or about 5,000 words). My rate is $70/hour and applies to both interview and writing time. Writing generally takes about 25 hours per interview hour, but that is dependent on a variety of factors, so final cost will vary per project. The final price includes one round of edits up to one hour; any further editing over that hour is an additional $70/hour.
​
Pricing Examples:
• 8-page story based on a one-hour interview for $1,820 ($70 interview + $1,750 writing)
• 40-page story based on a five-hour interview for $9,100 ($350 interview + $8,750 writing)
The final story is delivered as a PDF. Turnaround time is approximately 30 days per interview hour.

Packaged Story
If you'd like to have a print version of your Simple Story that includes a selection of personal photos and a cover design, I can create a soft- or hard-cover booklet at an additional cost. Contact me for pricing options.
