Create your
private
autobiography
The experience of sharing your stories in an autobiography for the family
in three simple steps
1. Personal Interviews
The author will enjoy regular face-to-face interviews, over four to five months. The interviewer records all the sessions and helps select photographs for the book.
2. Professional Ghostwriter
The recordings are developed into a manuscript by a professional ghostwriter, which is regularly edited by our team through consultation with the author.
3. Create your LifeBook™
After a final review and the author’s sign-off, our team then ensures the stories, photographs and memories are brought together to create a beautiful hand-crafted LifeBook™.
