Who we write memoirs for

Stories that deserve to be kept — and shared.

Retirees preserving a lifetime

Put decades of experience, lessons and family stories into a book your children and grandchildren will keep.

Families honoring a parent

Many memoirs are commissioned by adult children. Your writer interviews your parent and, if you wish, other relatives.

Veterans and professionals

Service, careers and turning points told clearly and respectfully, in the voice of the person who lived them.

Anyone with a story to tell

Recovery, faith, migration, loss or adventure — if it shaped your life, it can shape a reader’s.

How memoir ghostwriting works

From your memories to a finished memoir in 5 steps.

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.
