Memoirs

If you are interested in having your memoirs written, the best thing to do is to call (215) 645-7766 to talk about what is on your mind.

Everything we do is geared toward making this process as easy as possible for you. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and tell your stories. We do all the rest—the transcription, the editing, the photo management, the layout—all of it.

Because some people have a lot to say, and others less, memoir projects can vary greatly in scope and price. However, they are measured in the tens of thousands of dollars, and memoir projects generally start at about $30,000 and easily reach $60,000 or more.

What to Expect

When we begin working together, I'll guide you through a series of relaxed conversations about your life—the moments that shaped you, the people who mattered most, and the experiences you want your family to remember. These sessions happen at your pace, whether that's weekly meetings or a more intensive schedule that works better for your calendar.

Throughout the process, you'll have opportunities to review drafts and provide feedback, ensuring the final manuscript captures your voice authentically. Many clients find that talking through their stories sparks memories they hadn't thought about in years, making the experience both productive and deeply meaningful.

The timeline for completing a memoir typically ranges from 10 months to over a year, depending on the project's scope and your availability. Some families choose to include multiple generations' perspectives, while others focus on a single person's journey. We can also incorporate historical research, family photographs, and archival documents to enrich your narrative.

Every memoir project concludes with a beautifully designed, privately published book that becomes a treasured family heirloom. Whether you're documenting a business legacy, preserving cultural heritage, or simply sharing your life story with those you love, the result is a professional-quality volume that honors your experiences.
