Looking for someone to help my colleague write his memoirs pertaining to his humble beginning and his very illustrative business career in the wine and spirits industry. He is 84 years old with a keen wit and an amazing memory and sense of humor but feels stifled as to how to start. I believe several interviews and one-on-one time could flesh out a small book that would interest friends, family and industry colleagues. He could write an outline and he would need someone to write, organize and help him create an interesting story and ultimately self-publish (with credit to you, the writer, of course).
