HOW IT WORKS: THE STORY TERRACE PROCESS | STEP 3

In six simple steps, you can take part in creating your life story to save and share for generations to come. In this article learn more about Step 3.

The Interview

How?

Once you’re matched with your Story Terrace accredited ghostwriter, and you’ve filled out your Story Terrace questionnaire (step 2) you will be interviewed by him or her.

Your ghostwriter is there to help you find your voice and write your story in the most conscientious way. This meeting needs to be extremely beneficial to you both. You’ve been matched to you writer through us at Story Terrace so a connection is already well and truly on the cards!

To be comfortable throughout the interview process is of the up-most importance. You need to be able to talk about all the aspects of your story openly-whether it’s sensitive and personal, embarrassing and crazy, or it’s just an aspect of your story that you’ve never shared with anyone before. Either way, please enjoy. Our writers are trained to listen carefully and ask the right questions so that they can connect your stories and bring out all of the details.

Where?

Like any creative experience or process (whether you’re a creative or not), you will want to feel calm and connected- so feeling this with your ghostwriter will help get those creative juices flowing. Ensure you choose a great place that benefits you both! It maybe decided that your ghostwriter comes to visit you in your home and you share a lunch together- somebody’s home is a very personal space and may just be the perfect environment to compliment your rapport. Or, you may decide to meet in a café, a pub, or somewhere that resonates with your story and you wish for the ghostwriter to connect with that environment also.

It may be that a telephone call is suffice, or perhaps a video-call over Skype. Whatever you decide, you want the interview to be a success, so go with your gut and I’m sure whatever the conclusion, it will be a wonderful partnership off to a flying start!
