Part 2 of our interview with Lettice Stuart, Portraits in Words

Join us for an insightful conversation about the business of personal history and the art of interviewing.

In this episode, Lettice discusses:

  • how much she charges for life story projects, and how that number has grown through the years
  • a clever pre-meeting tactic that gets Lettice into the right frame of mind for that always-difficult money conversation with clients [Correction: with this technique, it doesn't have to be diffult!]
  • how, when, and why to bring in outside editing help
  • working with a partner
  • the extreme importance of listening, no matter how you do it best [Knitting optional]
