The client was a multi-published author and very busy doctor who wanted to write a memoir that highlighted his life’s work as a doctor, activist, father, and grandfather. He wanted to include political, social, religious, and philosophical points of view. We conducted ten hours of telephone interviews and agreed on a preliminary outline. I wrote the first draft of about 25,000 words which he published as a small keep-sake book for his family and friends. He then took that short manuscript and expanded it himself into a full-length book for a more general audience that he published with Balboa Press.
