The cost
We want you to have a biography, memoir or family history book that is tailor-made to your wishes. Because of this, every project that we undertake differs, and costs vary depending on complexity and finish. To give you a guideline, here are a few popular choices:
Short biography
This is a book based on one five-hour interview with the subject. This might be a brief overview of a person’s entire life. Alternatively the book may be a snapshot of a particular time period, for example childhood, or subject — a hobby for instance. Maximum length: 15,000 words.
– £1,750 for the writing only
– £2,500 for all the writing, editing and layout of the book plus 20 bound paperback copies with a full-colour cover and photographs
Full length biography
A longer biography based on up to 20 hours of interviews, the mid length biography is a good choice if you wish to record your life story in more depth. With a maximum of 50,000 words, a mid length biography offers scope to cover many of the highs and lows of your life.
– £5,250 for the writing only
– £7,750 for all the writing, editing and layout of the book plus 20 bound hardback copies with a full-colour cover and photographs
Premium biography
This is the ideal choice if you have led a very full life and want to record it in great detail. Based on up to 40 hours of interviews, the premium biography will cover all the important events in your life and more. With a maximum of 100,000 words, a full length biography is a comprehensive account of the subject’s personal history.
– £10,500 for the writing only
– £15,000 for all the writing, editing and layout of the book plus 20 bound hardback copies with a full-colour cover and photographs. Also included in the price is one book, hand bound in leather with gilt decoration—a unique and beautiful heirloom to pass on to future generations.
Payments are normally made in installments as each stage of the project is completed, so you will be able to spread out the cost over several months.
