Writing The Stories Of Our Retirees – Would You Like Your Tales Typed Up?
• Are you retired and full of stories?
• Want the tales of your life typed, polished and published?
• Want to create a written keepsake before the words and memories are gone?
Mike’s here to help.
Often I’m called upon to capture and polish the words of people who have lived ordinary and extra-ordinary lives. I’ve helped people record stories about genealogy, family separation and reunion, war antics, careers, and lives in farming, letters and love.
My job is to make it easy to get senior citizens’ stories written before they’re gone.
Get in touch if you’d like me to sit with you or someone you care about and start writing. We can turn personal stories into:
Printed books
Electronic books (e-books)
Websites and webpages
Newsletters
Social media profiles

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
