Why hiring a professional writer can be a better way to create a Legacy Letter:
- Most people need the motivation, structure, prompting, and encouragement that a professional writer can provide.
- Writers are non-judgmental, and have more practice in remaining non-emotional and supportive. Relatives conducting an interview, may not want to hear some painful family stories or secrets, and may have difficulty remaining impartial and unemotional. The writer becomes an objective sounding board to help determine the ultimate content for your letter.
- People are often more open and honest with a non-relative.
- Professional writers are skilled at drawing out reluctant or shy people and making them feel comfortable.
- Professional writers can draw out more details, especially if the interviewee knows that the interviewer is hearing the story for the first time. More details can make stories more understandable, relevant and interesting.
