Lifetime Memoirs - Aaron Albert

I was positively addicted to Dan's blog and learned a great deal, especially about working with people who are ill or who are in their last stage of life. Instructional and inspiring. This book of his will be an absolutely essential resource for every personal historian.

Start and Run a Personal History Business: Get Paid to Research Family Ancestry and Write Memoirs - Jennifer Campbell

After joining the Association of Personal Historians I heard about Dan Curtis’ website. Armed with questions and insights from a browse through some of his blog articles I went with less trepidation to my first client a few days later. Thereafter I devoured his blog. I will always be grateful for the wisdom, compassion, and humour. Thanks, Dan, for setting me off on the wonderful path of writing biography, with the right attitude.
