Put decades of experience, lessons and family stories into a book your children and grandchildren will keep.
Many memoirs are commissioned by adult children. Your writer interviews your parent and, if you wish, other relatives.
Service, careers and turning points told clearly and respectfully, in the voice of the person who lived them.
Recovery, faith, migration, loss or adventure — if it shaped your life, it can shape a reader’s.
Writing usually takes 4–6 months, plus 4–6 weeks to edit, design and publish. You spend about one hour a week with your writer.

Relaxed weekly calls by phone or video. Share letters, diaries and photos too, and include family members if you like.
A chapter-by-chapter plan of the memoir. Nothing gets written until you’re happy with it.
You read each chapter as it’s written and ask for changes. Revisions within the agreed scope are unlimited.
Professional editing, a cover and interior, then private copies for family or publishing on Amazon and other stores.
Your writer’s name never appears on the book. We sign a non-disclosure agreement before your first interview, and the copyright and author royalties belong to you.

Yes. Many memoirs are commissioned by family members. Your writer interviews your parent directly, and can also speak with relatives who share the memories. The book can be published under your parent’s name.
Writing about real people carries some risk if a book states things that are false or reveals private details. Stick to what is true, consider changing names or identifying details, and ask permission where you can. Your editor will flag sensitive passages; for anything serious, ask a media lawyer. This is general information, not legal advice.
Yes. Your interviews are recorded so your writer can study how you speak, and you review every chapter. Nothing is final until you approve it.
No. Some people want a few printed copies for family; others publish on Amazon and in stores. You can decide at the end.
You do. Your writer signs a non-disclosure agreement, full copyright is transferred to you, and if you sell the book the author royalties are paid to you.
