What is Book of My Life?

Book of My Life writes and produces bespoke memoirs and biographies for private use. Our professional writers capture 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 conduct interviews with you 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.
