Do you want to tell
Your Life Story?
Dennis can write it for you
DENNIS TROTTER is a former newspaper editor who will interview you (and family or friends, if requested) and create a written record of “Your Life’s Story”.
“I enjoy interviewing people and their families and learning about their lives. Interviewing the subject personally usually produces the best results. After all, who knows the story better than the person who is the main character?”
Dennis was prompted to establish his business after being frequently asked to prepare information for eulogies of local community members.

Benefits of telling your story
It’s often not until someone dies that families realise there’s a great deal about Mum or Dad’s early life they don’t know. They may have heard snippets over the years, but there are many gaps and some interesting facts have simply never come to light.

Following an initial, no-obligation interview, Dennis is able to give an estimate of cost before undertaking an assignment. He offers a competitive rate based mainly on time and length of the story.

What people are saying
“Family and friends have confirmed what I thought – Dennis made a great job of creating my life’s story. This was something I always wanted to do but probably didn’t have the skills myself to make it as interesting as he has done.”
Gordon TownsendMaxine (91) was so pleased with her “My Life’s Story” she ordered an additional 100 copies!
Maxine Minnema“Having the memories and information is one thing, but putting it in written form so it is enjoyable for others to read is something else. This is something that I would recommend everyone does, and before they get too old! ”
Joy Carr“Thank you very much for your help on this adventure”.
