For federations & communal bodies

Scale without losing the individual voice.

Federations and larger Jewish organisations often need narrative work that sits between the single-family history and the institutional report. Thematic projects, multi-family commissions, professional development for staff and volunteers, and writing that can be used publicly without inventing what the record does not support.

Models that fit organisational reality

Thematic multi-family projects

A defined set of narratives around a shared theme — a wave of immigration, a neighbourhood, a particular decade, a closing institution — scoped and scheduled as one project with clear milestones.

Referred individual commissions at volume

The organisation connects families; each commission remains independent and confidential. Useful when a federation wants to offer something meaningful without building an internal writing capacity.

Professional development

Sessions for staff, volunteers and partner organisations on eliciting narrative, handling incomplete memory, and maintaining provenance when the material is going into an archive or a public document.

Assessment of existing collections

Close reading of draft communal or family histories already held by the organisation, with a written verdict on structure, gaps, voice and readiness for further use.

Standards that travel into the institutional file

Nothing invented. No AI. Ownership retained.

Where the witnesses or the documents do not know, the finished text says so. Every word is written by hand. The family or the commissioning body keeps full ownership; nothing is published or shown without written permission. Delivery is print-ready PDF and Word.

These are not marketing claims. They are the same discipline visible in the published work: The Last Injection, When Lindy Saved My Life, and the Chicken Soup essay on what stops counting as a crisis after the worst thing has already happened.
