Professionally guided classes are small and personal. They include prompts, writing instruction, editorial feedback, and a spiral-bound, boxed, and ribboned copy of their book, which is suitable for gift-giving.

About The Community Stories Project.
Everyone has a story. Now its become easier to tell yours so it can be preserved for future generations. The Community Stories Project is run locally, in area libraries and bookstores, with the support of friends and neighbors. It offers tools to inspire creativity, carefully honed writing knowledge, and a small-format approach that keeps the entire process from becoming overwhelming.
The Community Stories Project was founded by Deborah Cameron, a local journalist with over two decades of experience in corporate marketing copywriting. For the past seven years, she’s worked with older adults and understands both the family interest in hearing stories and perceived barriers in telling them. Her expertise is ideally suited to help individuals move forward with sharing their experience as a gift for their children and grandchildren.
