FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long will the Storied process take from start to finish?
That may depend on your package or plan but the final product is typically delivered to you within one month of the session. For shorter interviews, the turn around time may be faster. If you are thinking of an interview as a last minute gift for someone, please reach out and I will do my best to get it prepared in time for you.
Do I have a chance to listen to progress and provide feedback?
