I’ve been writing short stories, travel logs and humour pieces since leaving high school. Some examples of past and current work can be found on this site. A love of reading philosophy has recently led me to two writing projects.
Hip-hopolosophy is an ongoing series of responses to song lyrics that are full of lessons that can help deal with life’s universal challenges.
Life Recordings is a service in which I produce mini-biographies focussing on people’s approach to life through a structured interview.
Life Recordings interviews people asking them about their approach to life. The interview is a philosophical conversation as well as a brief timeline of events. This conversation is then edited to produce a small book, including photos, professionally designed and printed locally.
Testimonials
An interview of this nature is an interesting experience. Stuart was gentle in his questions, but very specific. I found it revealing, to me, as well as I’m sure it will be for my children. I have often wondered, as I grow older, just how I’ve impacted the people I love, and what lasting impression I may leave. Reading over the end result of the interview has given me great comfort, for which I am very grateful.

I’ve found both the experience of being interviewed, and the end result very rewarding. The gentle process of questioning revealed unexpected and comforting results. Thank you Stuart, I’m sure my children will have a smile or two, and no doubt a few tears as well. Good luck with your venture.
- Marie
As I am now retired, I’ve wondered what sort of impact I have had on the people I love. The process of this interview with Stuart has been enlightening. I’m looking forward to seeing my children’s reaction when they have their copy. I hope they will be as delighted as I am. Good luck with your future clients, I’m sure they will enjoy the process.
- Julie
Thank you for a very insightful look at my life Stuart. With the right questions, it was surprisingly easy to see myself as I’ve never thought possible. Very clever! It was a deeply cathartic experience. Very happy with the results, and I’m sure it will be something my children will value. I am happy to recommend
you.

It's interesting what you're doing. What are you referring to this as, biography? To me, I can see the biography side but this was almost a psychologist questionnaire session. I found being able to talk openly about my life in this sense quite relieving actually.
