"It is often the case that we can regret not knowing the stories of those we love"


Everyone has a story, but biographies are generally associated with those in the public eye. Now, thanks to Write A Life Story, your story or that of a relative can be privately published in its own hardback book.


"Your story is what you have, what you will always have. It is something to own."


Michelle Obama, former US First Lady, in her own memoir 'Becoming'.

FAQs

Q. Do I have much of a say about how my biography is written?

A. Yes, there'll be several opportunities for you to guide the writer. You'll also have a final opportunity before your autobiography is sent to the printers.


Q. How long does it take to produce my biography?

A. On average it takes eight weeks to research, interview and write each biography. The production, which includes correcting images, typesetting pages, creating a cover and printing the book, can take an extra two weeks.


Q. What is a private biography?

A. We produce private biographies for families, individuals and friends. They are limited circulation books and can be freely distributed amongst family and friends. They are not for commercial publishing purposes as additional considerations including legal obligations need to be taken into account. Please contact Write A Life Story if you have any questions about this.
