We’ll help you preserve a lifetime of memories
Your biography writer
First we’ll match you with a professional writer who will listen to your recollections, helping you recall the major events and precious moments that have shaped your life. They will then turn your memories into a compelling story that stays true to your voice.
Thoughtful design
After you’ve reviewed and approved the manuscript, it will be transformed into a stunning book by one of our professional layout artists. We will include your favourite image on the cover for a wonderfully personalised finish.
Quality printing
Upon final sign-off of your biography or memoir, the files will be sent to industry leading printers. In just a few weeks, we will deliver your handsome hardback memoir books. Then all you have to do is share them with your family and friends.

Our writers
Skilled interviewers, talented storytellers
All our writers are professional journalists, published authors or both. We have many award-winning writers on our books, and all have a proven track record in professional writing. But talent alone is not enough. Good listening skills, kindness and empathy are essential too, and we only work with writers whom we trust to treat your story with the care it deserves.
Our writers have been featured in The Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian, The Independent, Marie Claire, Grazia, The Observer, Psychologies, Country Living and more.
‘Many thanks again for putting my book together. I have had some great comments!’

What is Book of My Life?
Book of My Life writes and produces bespoke memoirs and biographies for private use. Our professional writers skilfully interview you, capturing your story — or the stories of your loved ones — and turn your memories into beautifully written and designed books to be treasured for generations.
Do I need to be a good writer to create a memoir?
No. Most of our clients have never written a book before. One of our experienced ghostwriters will chat to you about your experiences and write your story in your voice.
How long does a project usually take?
Most memoir and biography projects take several months from the first interview to the finished printed books, depending on the length and complexity of the story.
Can payments be spread across the project?
Yes. Payments are typically made in stages as the work progresses, and most clients spread the cost over the course of the project.
What if I don’t know where to start?
That is completely normal. Many people feel overwhelmed at first. Rest assured — our writers are experienced interviewers who know how to guide conversations gently and help memories emerge naturally.
Is this only for famous people?
Not at all. Some of the most meaningful life stories come from ordinary family lives, personal experiences and memories that might otherwise be lost.
Will I receive printed copies?
Yes. All packages include a small number of professionally printed hardback books, designed to become lasting family keepsakes for future generations.
Who owns the copyright?
You retain full copyright ownership of your story.
Can I sell my story?
You are free to sell your story if you wish. However, our books are produced primarily for private and family use, and we do not currently offer commercial publishing services.
