I’m a big fan of all forms of communication and so if you want to write your own letter then more power to you.  But there are three benefits to Postscript you might want to consider if you run into problems:

1. i) Postscript is super efficient for you.  All you need to do is complete an intentions sheet (allow 10-45 mins), then attend a 1 hour interview.  We do the rest.  As professional writers, it is our job to labour over the words and message.  Many of our clients have a high value on their time and in this way, they get to enjoy the experience and not fret over it.

1. ii) We delete with less attachment.  When you’re sharing your own wisdom, stories and insight, there can be a temptation to share everything.  At Postscript, we come to your story with no assumed knowledge.  We are curiously exploring your life without judgement and come from the place of “what would your great great granddaughter want to know about you?”  This gives us the distance and clarity to let go of what’s not needed.

iii) And lastly, we enable perspective.  Our team are trained qualitative researchers, coaches and writers and so we’re trained to draw answers from you in a way you may have never fully articulated before.  This makes the facilitation illuminating, cathartic and fun as you’re going through it.  Most people leave with a sense of feeling lighter and more at peace as they see and feel a context to their life they may not have previously considered.

Your end:

allow 10-45 minutes for the Intentions Sheet;

1 hour for the interview.

Our end:

Beyond the preparation and interview process, the writing takes at least 5 hours.  Then we present the first draft, edit and refine.  The final document will be to you within 24 hours of the final edit.
