How long does it take?
Plan on roughly four to eight months from the first conversation to a finished manuscript, depending on how often we meet and how long your story is. Some people like weekly sessions; others space them out. The writing happens between sessions.
Will the book sound like me?
That's the entire point. We record your conversations, learn how you naturally tell stories, and write it that way. When you read it back, it should sound like you on your best day. And you review every chapter before it's final.
What if I'm not a good storyteller?
You don't need to be. Knowing which questions to ask, and in what order, is our job. You just talk honestly, and we shape it into a story.
How much does it cost?
The Guided Memoir costs a fraction of what a traditional ghostwriter charges. Full ghostwriting is quoted individually, based on the length and scope of the book. Either way, you'll get a clear quote after the free call, with no obligation.
Do you use AI?
Yes, in the Guided Memoir, and we're upfront about it. AI-assisted tools help turn your recorded conversations into first drafts quickly, which is a big part of why it costs a fraction of traditional ghostwriting. The structure comes from the MemoirMaster system, and nothing is final until you've read it and said it sounds like you.
Can I give this as a gift?
Yes. You arrange the book; we interview your parent or grandparent; you give them the finished memoir. It's one of the most meaningful family gifts there is.
Do you work with people outside the US?
Yes. All conversations happen over video call, so we can work with you anywhere in the world.
