Our youngest client Britney Pieta launched her book The Gift of Mr. Pookie with a book signing at Bundles of Books and coverage in the College of Dupage Courier.

Britney's book is the heart-warming story of two sisters and a dollar-store monkey that was a gift from their mother. Two years after the gift, their mother died and Mr. Pookie became a special companion for the girls. This is the story of the girls’ search to find true love for their dear friend, Mr. Pookie.

Mr. Gambill, retired CEO of TransUnion, gave us his speech on leadership and told us his life story.

We transcribed and edited.

We found him a graphic designer, an illustrator, and a printer for self publication.

We helped him copyright his book with the US Copyright Office.

Mr. Gambill sells his book when he gives seminars on leadership.

Years ago, Mr. K's daughter gave him a software package to help him write his life story. He wrote several pages but had to stop when he could no longer type.

His children chipped in for the Memoir Lite service and we mailed him a memoir kit with a cassette recorder.

Mr. K. dictated the rest of his story and mailed us back the tapes. We transcribed, combined it with what he had already typed, edited, and made him inexpensive, spiral-bound booklets. On Father's Day he handed out copies to his 13 grandchildren.

The First Congregational Church of Glen Ellyn celebrated its 150th Anniversary in April 2012. Starting in early 2011, we cleaned out their storage room and organized it into an archive. We pored over church records dating back to the 1800s, denominational yearbooks, orders of service, and binders of newspaper clippings to uncover stories of the dedication and faith of this congregation. We wrote drafts of essays which were used by the church committee to compile their beautiful Anniversary book.
