Family Business Legacy Memoir
This project was initiated by the CEO, a third-generation family leader of a century-old family business, who wanted to preserve its family business history.Ā Journey Sixty6 structured, ghostwrote, and published the family legacy book, drawing on in-depth interviews with family members, close friends, and key stakeholders. To ensure a comprehensive portrayal of the family's story, the book presents each chapter from a distinct first-person viewpoint. Journey Sixty6 also produced a complementary documentary. Together, these projects offer a multifaceted exploration of the family's heritage and its business triumphs.
Family Business Fable
This two-year writing and publication journey required intense collaboration between the author and Journey Sixty6. Through our one-on-one coaching, we provided the author with conceptual guidance, helping him conceive the book idea and then shape the narrative into a compelling fable. We provided developmental editing throughout the process as well as a line edit near the book's completion, ensuring a professional manuscript. Through our Big Snowy Media imprint, we published the book in both print and digital formats.
Family Business Leadership
The author sought a developmental edit from Journey Sixty6 to ensure her manuscript's clarity. Over several months, our editorial team woked closely with the author to refine the thesis and structure of the book as well as the prose in each chapter. To ensure maximum reach for the book, we also provided strategic marketing guidance, including LinkedIn platform optimization. The book was published by Koehler Books.
Family Legacy Memoir
Most every successful family has a story arc that includes survival, risk, overcoming, and thriving. The year-long journey to write and publish this family legacy memoir included in-depth interviews with the author, his family, and his business partners. Journey Sixty6 mapped out the writing and publishing process and then implemented the entire project from start to finish, including ghostwriting and publishing the book through our Big Snowy Media imprint.
Family Business Leadership and Succession Planning
This in-depth exploration of family business succession draws on extensive research, including interviews with heirs ofĀ iconic enterprises like Wrigley, Heffner, and Tyson. Journey Sixty6 collaborated closely with the author from concept to publication. Our team contributed to idea development, book structure, and comprehensive developmental editing. We also helped the author with his book proposal that secured him a publishing deal with Wiley. Our final line edit ensured the manuscript was polished and ready for market.
FounderĀ Legacy Memoir
This was the second of three book projects we guided the author on. The author, a founder and CEO of a successful marketing agency, wanted to capture the values that motivated his career and life. Publishing this book was of particular urgency, because he was battling stage-4 cancer. The author enlisted Journey Sixty6 to jumpstart the book, identifying a thesis and structure. And then Journey Sixty6 was hired to ghostwrite and publish the book under the Big Snowy imprint. The entire process was completed within a four-month period. The legacy memoir was offered as a final gift to his friends, families, and colleagues.
Family Dynamics and the Rising Gen
This groundbreaking exploration of the rising generation emerged from a deep collaboration between the author and Journey Sixty6. The author conducted qualitative research with over 30 rising gen, and we helped him develop this research into a compelling book idea. Our team also provided expert guidance in developing the bookā€™s thesis, structure, and overall narrative arc. With intensive developmental and line editing, the manuscript was made ready for publishing with Wiley. Additionally, Journey Sixty6ā€™s book proposal coaching helped the author secure a book deal with Wiley.
A Guidebook for Family Conversations
This project began with our Jumpstart offering, which gave the author the confidence that his idea was complete enough for an entire book. During the process, we identified a thesis for the book, ghostwrote the first chapter, and then provided a structure for the rest of the book. We then recruited a writer to complete the writing project. The author published the book through our Big Snowy Media imprint.
