Mindi Bullick has loved life stories ever since her college days at Brigham Young University. While there, she worked as an editor for an English professor who was knee-deep in a quest to record as many WWII stories as possible before veterans passed away. Reading their stories, she felt driven to know and record the stories of her own grandparents, so in August of 2001, she packed up her bags and spent several weeks at their home in Idaho, interviewing them every morning and transcribing and writing at night. She turned their story into a two-part book, which became a gift for their 5 surviving children and 12 grandchildren. Over the years, Mindi has ghost-written many books, including biographies, autobiographies, and corporate histories, for individuals wanting to leave behind the legacy of their lives. She has also worked as a marketing writer and editor in the high-tech and financial industries for nearly twenty years.

Mindi lives in San Diego, California, with her husband, Jeff, and their four children, Cooper, Sawyer, Penelope, and Colette. When she’s not jogging memories or jotting them down, you can find her cheering from the sidelines at one of the kids’ games.

Melanie Miller began her career as an English teacher, but then turned to independent work as a tutor and freelance editor. She has an English degree from the University of Utah and completed her certification in copy editing at UCSD. In addition to freelancing and raising three busy boys, she has spent decades helping high school and college students improve their writing skills.
