A ghostwritten biography or memoir makes an unusual and exciting gift
Maybe you’re looking for a unique way to thank a colleague on their retirement. Perhaps you are searching for a present for a milestone birthday. You could mark an anniversary with a memoir — a wonderful way to treat a special couple.
Whatever the occasion, a ghostwritten biography or memoir is the gift that keeps on giving—the subject will enjoy the process of telling his or her story to one of our writers; the family will learn more about their loved one; and future generations will understand the family’s history through this priceless keepsake.
If you are looking for a unique and thoughtful gift for any of the following:
- Retirement
- A birthday
- A wedding anniversary
- Anything else
look no further!
We’ll supply a beautifully presented gift voucher for your loved one.

Bespoke
If you have a personal history project that doesn’t fit our standard products, get in touch. Here is a selection of the other services we offer
Editing/proofreading
Have you already written some or all of your life story, but are unsure about what to do next? Book of My Life can edit your manuscript: polish your prose, tidy up your typing and check for any errors or inconsistencies that you may not have noticed. We can also help to organise your writing so that it reads in a clear and appealing way. We can’t help you get your book published with a major publisher, but we can arrange for a small number of copies of your book to be printed and bound for personal use.
Typesetting, design and printing
Once you are happy with the content of your book, Book of My Life will typeset it, design an attractive cover and arrange for a short print run of paperbacks or hardbacks.
Special formats
Bespoke finishes, coffee table books, leather binding—we’re very happy to discuss any ideas you have for your project.
