Write It Yourself

you want to tell this story in your own words, and you're willing to give it the time. You don't need a writing class. You need structure: the right questions, in the right order.

That's exactly what the MemoirMaster book and workbook are built for:

  • How To Write A Memoir: Step-By-Step teaches the method, one chapter at a time.
  • The Life Story Journal & Workbook is where you answer the prompts, and your manuscript takes shape as you go.

The Guided Memoir

you have the stories. You'd just rather tell them than type them. And if this is a parent's or grandparent's story, it's the easiest way to get it recorded for the whole family.

Here's how the Guided Memoir works:

  • You talk. We guide you through your life in a series of recorded conversations, using the MemoirMaster system to ask the right questions.
  • We write. Your stories become chapters, shaped into a real book and written in your voice.
  • You approve. You review the manuscript and nothing goes in that doesn't sound like you.

It costs a fraction of what a traditional ghostwriter charges. Every story is different, so the first step is a free, no-pressure call to talk about yours and get your quote.

Your path

Full Ghostwriting

you want a finished, publication-ready book, with as little of your time as possible. That's what full ghostwriting is for.

  • In-depth recorded interviews, at your pace
  • Justin personally guides the creative direction and oversees every chapter
  • Chapter-by-chapter review, with revisions until it reads right
  • A manuscript formatted for print and digital, plus guidance on publishing

Every project is quoted individually. Start with a free call to talk through your story, your timeline and what you want the finished book to be.

Want something more hands-on? The Guided Memoir is a lighter-touch option.
