Who is Touchstone Storytelling?

I’m glad you found me! I am a writer and founder of Touchstone Storytelling LLC which opened in December 2015. Through Touchstone Storytelling I write, edit and design personal histories and family stories, creating custom books.

I began Touchstone Storytelling because I truly believe everyone has a story to tell. I am honored to help clients leave a legacy to those they love.

Additionally, I work as a freelance editor, book designer and business communication manager. I have 20 year’s experience in corporate communications, public relations and development. I am also active in my community serving on the Boards of The ExtraOrdinary Woman Project, Faith in Action and The Professional Women of McLean County.

I earned a bachelor of art’s degree in English from Eastern Illinois University where I also minored in Journalism and Public Relations.

Touchstone Storytelling LLC serves Bloomington-Normal, Illinois and the surrounding states. However, I am willing to work with clients long-distance and we can work together to find a cost-effective and creative means in which to communicate and capture your story.

Happy writing!

“We believed that our mother’s experiences deserved to be recorded in some way, and we are so pleased that we placed our trust in Charlene to write her story. After many hours of interviewing, researching, writing and arranging, Charlene produced a book that is not only a record of Mom’s journey, but a beautiful story about family, love, war and a new life in a new country.” – Kathy and Leroy J., Bloomington, IL

“Recently, I worked with Charlene Homan on an autobiography about my dear Aunt. She’s 91 years old and my last living relative, who is so very dear to me. Through the process I gained valuable insight about my maternal family. I wish I had done this for my mom. Having this experience with my Aunt brought me so much closer to my mom and her family’s history. Charlene personally interviewed my Aunt in her home for three sessions to my Aunt’s delight. She so enjoyed sharing her story with us. Charlene is so gracious, accommodating, an excellent listener and an expert at discovering the lost yet important facts about the past. I’m extremely grateful for her dedication to factual information and crafting it into a beautiful story about the life of a very special woman. If you are interested in preserving a beautifully written historical account of someone’s life, I highly recommend Charlene and Touchstone Storytelling.” — Andrea K., Wauconda, IL
