Curating your legacy

What do your children really want to inherit?

Oh mom. All we really want to inherit is those two complete sets of fine China. . . no adult child ever said.

Yeah. Dad was at the office a lot. I sorta remember some family vacations.

You’ve worked hard, invested wisely, and planned carefully for your money and possessions. Yet information indicates the source of family wealth (or maybe even that antique furniture you value so much now will either be gone or valued less as the decades pass. X% of people who inherit can’t tell you much about its source within three generations.

We’re not talking about people who can name a building at their alma mater or endow a research foundation. We’re talking about you and how you want to be remembered.

  • EDITOR—Editing and Writing Support

    You know your subject sideways, and you have a story you’re yearning to tell, but you’re “not a writer.”

    You wish you could write a newsletter or some case studies for your business, but somehow you keep putting that off.

    What advice do you have to pass along that you wish you had known earlier?

    What’s the next chapter in your academic career? Marty has worked with high school students applying to college, graduate studies polishing their dissertations, and academicians, adapting scholarly work for publication or popular distribution.

  • PHOTO MANAGER—Photo and media organization, conversion, and preservation to a sustainable and accessible digital format.

    Downsizing or moving? Perhaps you already hired someone to auction the antiques and design your new living room. The kids have hauled away as much as you can convince them to take. What about those photos? Home movies? Mementoes of that trip? Wedding album? Baby book? Does even thinking of that make you want to do SOMETHING with them? Or does it make you feel dazed and confused. Either way, or in between, we can work with you.

    And you don’t have to decide “who gets what.”

    It’s the 21st century. You decide who has access and who can add new memories.

  • LEGACY PROJECTS—Books, stories, archives, slide shows, electric frames

    Your estate planning details might be all wrapped up. But what do you REALLY want your loved ones to remember about you? That’s in your control. Your photos and memories tell your story to future. How can we work together to curate your legacy?

If you can check any of those boxes, we should talk. Sign up for a free, 30-minute consultation.

(No charge. I love talking with people who have something interesting to say.)

Val Hollister, COO, SPARC (a non-profit advocacy organization supporting open and equitable systems for research and education)

With her understanding of research methods and statistics and her amazing gift for wording the research in snappy, user friendly, engaging ways, she has enriched my book in ways that even the most experienced authors will value. As a psychology professor and author, I deeply appreciate Marty’s input as the developmental editor for my sixth book.

“I absolutely adore what you’ve done. You have tightened things up considerably, improved the language in several places, and clarified important points. . . and most amazing, without altering my message.”
