Manuscript Review and Development
Seven Stories helps writers and producers to develop publishable content. Seven Stories has a wealth of experience of working with established and emerging authors - especially in the area of non-fiction. Seven Stories provides detailed editorial review and analysis. This core editorial service includes content analysis, manuscript review, and editing support on issues of style, structure, and substance.
Seven Stories also provides writing services and guidance, including re-writing assistance designed to produce a manuscript that is both readable and publishable, whether in print or online.
Every
editing and writing project has a unique set of challenges and circumstances.
If you
have a project that needs work then these are the steps that Seven Stories takes:
1) we discuss it,
2) we create an action plan,
3) we establish a timetable,
4) we confirm the final cost.
And then the we're on our way.

The Honourable Noël Kinsella, Speaker of the Senate, hosted Michael W. Higgins and me at a special literary event on Parliament Hill
on May 8, 2013. We spoke about our book Genius Born of Anguish: The Life and Legacy of Henri Nouwen and the CBC Ideas series based on it. It was gathering of parliamentarians and guests.

I know what I like when …
“The first piece of his that I heard was [title], and I thought it was an astonishing opera. And then, what I felt when I listened to his chamber music was that I wanted to stay in this music. Do you understand? Stay in that atmosphere. Sometimes when you hear contemporary music you may feel that it is very intellectually interesting, but sometimes you want to get out of that world. You are not at home. With him you want to stay.”
Christianne Stotjin, the Dutch mezzo-soprano, talking to James Naughtie in the May edition of BBC Music Magazine. The “he” she is referring to in the interview is the contemporary British composer Thomas Adès, but I like the way you can apply this filter to any composer and their works in any time period.

Still on stream
On January 9, 16, and 23 CBC Radio aired my three-part radio documentary on Henri Nouwen: "Genius Born of Anguish - The Life and Legacy of Henri Nouwen." Today it continues life as a live-streamed production.
The episodes can be live streamed in Canada (but, sadly, not from any other country because of the "geofence" that has been set up for copyright reasons). Here is the link to the series on the CBC audio streaming service:
This production for the series Ideas, hosted by Paul Kennedy and narrated by Michael W. Higgins, tells the life story of the Dutch-born Catholic priest and prolific author, Henri Nouwen, whose integration of psychological insights and inclusive approaches to spirituality make him an important figure in the history of contemporary culture and spirituality. The series is a collective effort: written and narrated by Michael W. Higgins and produced by Bernie Lucht and me.
A documentary is a major undertaking: 4 years of research, recording interviews in Holland, London, U.S. and Canada, with studio links to California and Australia. The raw material from these interviews, together with materials from various sound archives, formed the basis for what was to become a 3-hour production. In addition to the "word" research was an investigation of all manner of music sources to create just the right kind of "sound world" for the production.
As we worked on the documentary we also produced a "tie-in" book, with the same title. Each of the book's three sections expands the content of one of the episodes. The bronze cover is the original US edition and the red cover is the Canadian edition.
