Every life holds a tale only it can tell, a tale that deserves to be told.

Premium writing for individuals
Boutique storytelling by Ciocia Ela™: personal story commissions for children and adults.
Think of me as a personal historian or a private writer: someone who can capture family memories that deserve to be passed on or write tales in which your child is a hero of their own story. The narratives I create in my Boutique Storytelling by Ciocia Ela™ are tailored to the individual: yourself or someone you care about.
Writing Sur Mesure
Je donne vie à vos histoires et à vos idées, I bring stories and ideas to life, and I turn your experiences into written memories or fictional narratives.
Premium bespoke stories, are they right for you?
This work may be particularly meaningful for:
- individuals wishing to preserve their personal or family story
- adults who have experienced something profound and wish to reflect on it in writing
- those going through transition or healing process
- children, through the gift of personalised storytelling
- anyone seeking a written piece that carries emotion, memory and meaning, or those who wish to give a deeply personal, one-of-a-kind gift.

Personalised stories
I work with individuals and families to craft personal narratives shaped around life events or legacies to be passed on. These may honour a loved one or capture a meaningful moment such as reunion or migration. While the events are real, I craft the narrative with literary care, where characters and settings are woven into an elegant story.
Each story highlights what matters most:
- remembrance, a desire to be seen or understood, memories that continue to live on
- legacy you wish to pass on
- connection to culture, family, place, or self, that shifts identity

Custom short stories
You may come with a scene, a feeling, a character, or simply a question you want to explore. I help you shape it into a complete short story. This can be either a collaborative process, where you remain involved as the story unfolds, or, if you prefer, I will create the story on your behalf.
Either way, the final work will carry your essence and original vision, and will be refined through the lens of my storytelling skills.

Children’s adventures
A bespoke tale where your child is the hero (adventure story, bedtime story, fairy tale) written as a standalone story or a series of mini stories, each reflecting the child’s best qualities back to them.
I craft these narratives around the individual child (their name, personality, interests, as well as the values you wish to highlight, such as their kindness, courage, curiosity or friendship), and they are often commissioned as keepsake to show children how seen and loved they are.
Perfect for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, teachers, or anyone who wishes to give a present that is both magical and meaningful.

Reflective storytelling
These stories are written to accompany moments of personal transformation and they make take the form of affirmations, meditative narratives, dreamlike imagery, or any fictional form you wish to express your emotional or spiritual state in.
Reflective storytelling may also represent a new beginning or a healing journey. Each piece is written with empathy and intention, tailored to your life’s current chapter, so that it becomes your source of comfort. These narratives may be abstract or symbolic, and they often focus on your emotional state or spiritual exploration, rather than simply documenting facts.

Not sure where to begin? Let’s find the right path forward, together.
How does it work?
The process begins with a conversation, where I listen, ask questions and begin to gather the essence of the story.
From there:
- I organise your memories and ideas into a clear story outline.
- I shape a compelling narrative that is emotionally grounded and written with literary care.
- You receive the final story either in a text format, PDF or other, in line with our agreement.
