By Rebecca Paul
Welcome to Heirloom Writing by Rebecca Paul. My passion is helping my clients preserve their memories and capture special moments of their lives. I believe in the importance of family, in the value of learning from experiences and in celebrating lives well-lived.
A magical thing happens when pen is put to paper to create custom family heirlooms. When you record your memories, you open your life up to future generations; you preserve a piece of today for someone to enjoy tomorrow. Whatever your goal: telling your life story, sharing your favourite family recipes, describing the day of your child's birth, or commemorating a lost loved one, I can help you achieve it.
Personal History / Memoir Writing - Crafting your life story into a family heirloom. Process includes interviews, recording, transcription, compilation, editing and publishing. Final products can range from written transcripts to bound biographies complete with pictures, letters, maps, and so forth. Share your story with the ones you love.
Family Cookbooks - Capture your beloved family recipes before they are lost. Includes transcription of family recipes, pictures and stories (if desired), design and compilation. Creative gift idea.

I have worked as a social worker for the last five years with individuals and families; during that time I have developed a keen skill of knowing the right questions to ask at the appropriate times. I am a lover of language and am passionate about the power of the written word.
I am a graduate of the University of Toronto, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree studying English and Sociology, and of Sir Sandford Fleming College where I obtained a Social Service Worker Diploma and was added to the President's Honour Roll, a distinction awarded to the student with the highest mark of the graduating class.

"Rebecca has helped me achieve something I never would have been able to accomplish on my own. She has taken an emotional & personal quest and written it into a sensitive and persuasive form so that I may be able to present it logically to the organizations of interest. I look forward to working with her on future endeavours."

"My first meeting with Rebecca helped me decide to work with her on my lifelong dream of writing about my life. She demonstrates a genuine passion for reading and writing. Her goal is to help people take their ideas, histories, stories and thoughts and put them in an organized format for others to read and enjoy. My journey with Rebecca to date has been very gratifying."
