We both have spent a total of over 50 years in the worlds of design and publishing. Michael loves to interview and write and Mark is a very creative and efficient designer. Together, we are a really good fit.
I want to add more photos and words to the publication. Is this possible?
Yes, we can customize any length of story or memoir. Just let us know exactly what you wish and we will provide a quote within minutes.
How and where do you conduct interviews?
We use Zoom, phone and if possible, in person. Every interview is recorded and you will be sent the original digital file. We are based in Thornhill and will travel to select areas in Toronto. There is an additional fee for travel.
Can I get more copies of the books or magazines?
Absolutely, just let us know the quantities you require — additional books and magazines are subject to an extra charge.
How quickly can you produce a digital file?
We estimate about 48 to 72 hours, depending on the complexity. Once you have this PDF, you can send copies out via email and social media.
How fast is turnaround on printing softcover magazines and hardcover books?
About 10 to 12 business days
Yes, it is possible. We have created a special service that allows us to shorten the entire process down to less than 24 hours – not including printing. Should you require RUSH delivery, let us know immediately and we will begin the work. Our rate for this service is $2,995 per 20 pages.
I want to start writing my memoirs, but I am not sure how to begin?
Download our mini magazine and get your thoughts in motion. Once you feel you’re ready, start going through all the photos you have. Start with choosing 25 that are very meaningful to you. Now start to recall the great stories that are a part of each photo. This will start you on your memoir journey.
I have the words written along with the photos I want. What can you do for me?
We will offer you an a la carte service that features editing along with а beautifully designed publication. Based on the amount of work we need to do, we will provide a customized quotation.
Can I give this service as a gift?
Absolutely. We will send you a customized gift certificate that you can present to the recipient. Once they contact us to begin the process, we will contact you to arrange payment.
Yes, tell us what you would like and we will send you a quote.
Why do I need high-resolution photos at 300 dpi (dots per inch)?
It is vital that all images are at 300 dpi. We are not just putting your publication on a screen (which is 72 dpi) we are printing it. So, it is imperative we have the highest quality photos and the largest files possible. We are happy to help you through this process should you have any questions.
Ok, I am ready to proceed, what are the next steps?
