Preserving your life experience in a book to pass down to generations is a gift that transcends the material world.
The Memory
Would you like to walk down memory lane and reflect on your life’s journey, then take those memories and experiences and put them into a custom biography written specifically for you?
The book of you will be appreciated, cherished and passed down for generations.
Taking on a project like this is daunting, laborious and painstaking. It is also joyous, necessary and humbling. I can help you simplify this process through a sketch worksheet and a series of video interviews used to compile the details of your life. Your joys, pains, your laughter and your tears. You will also feel comfort knowing your family will be able to read in posterity the unique and beautiful arc of your life.
My name is Chuck Jenks. I was a combat correspondent, award-winning writer, photographer, and a communication leader with the Federal government and with Fortune 500 companies for more than 45 years.
I’m also your neighbor. I have decided to combine these skills and help those in their twilight years compile their biography. It is in the spirit of service that I feel this is important because I wish my Mom or Dad gave one to me, or even copies to my children. I am emptier when I realize how little I really knew of their lives.
You have lived a large, glorious, and sometimes tragic life. A life rich with love, joy, gratitude, great fears. Your ripples can go on forever. I can help you biograph your life so that those important, personal truths and about who you are can be left to your family and friends.
When you think back on your first love, your favorite childhood song, your favorite breakfast at Grandma’s house, that special Christmas, your pioneering hopes and dreams, your challenges and triumphs as an adult, don’t you think it would be important for your children, grandchildren and their children to know who you were and not just what some obituary or resume states? Especially in your own words?
The truth is everyone wants to live on and be remembered. I can help you document your life in a beautifully compiled biography. On average, a standard biography is between 70-90 pages long. It details and organizes a comprehensive look at the many facets of your life. Your biography will include photos, recorded interviews and a bound copy of the final custom designed book(s) with all the digital video interview files.
If you are interested in discussing costs, interviews and deliverables for this loving gift, one that will live in perpetuity, please give me a call. I’m at 571-577-7504. I’m in the neighborhood and I would love to discuss how we get there.
Respectfully, Chuck
Love and Service
After more than 45 years as an award-winning writer, photographer and communication leader who has traveled to more than 57 countries, I decided to make Eastern North Carolina my home. Since then I have worked primarily in the landscape industry. After moving here, serendipity intervened (Hurricane Florence) and I found myself a job at a local nursery, helping to rebuild the nursery which had been destroyed. It was there I fell in love with coastal plants and landscaping. In the meantime, I developed an approach to writing short biographies on the wonderful people that I have had the pleasure to meet. Consequently, I decided to combine my deep experience in writing to start a business focused specifically on the writing of small books for the people who can see the twilight. In essence, I help people compile their life’s story into a unique bound book.
