Writing The Stories Of Our Retirees – Would You Like Your Tales Typed Up?

Michael from Tikipunga

• 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

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
