FEATURED WORK

“Each of us is a book waiting to be written, and that book, if written, results in a person explained.”

— Thomas M. Cirignano

I worked with Celia Tejada for several months to write and publish her life story in English and Spanish. She wanted to pass on her values to her sons and future grandchildren. Her memoir has become a cherished keepsake for her family and friends.
