Writing family stories before they're gone
What could be more important than getting family history written and recorded? Here's how I help.
I'm Mike, a writing specialist based in Whangarei.
My favourite clients in 2018 were families who needed their elders' stories taped, typed and turned it into a book or website so the stories are never lost. I help with recording oral interviews so our elders voices and tales can be shared with the rest of the family.
Please sing out if you'd like some help writing your whanau stories, whether you need a quick hour of assistance or a big piece of ghostwriting taken care of.

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