Your story is unlike any other. But to give you a sense of our range, here are some starting options you might consider, with previews of our most popular offerings:

  • Oral Narrative Collection

    Popular for family gatherings and reunions (but with remote options, too), we collect and shape a series of narrative oral histories.

    $950 Per Person: 10-29 Individuals
    $850 Per Person: 30+ Individuals

    Includes an hour-long interview for each person (30 minutes per child under 12 years old) editorial shaping, design, and an elegant book. Photography may be available.

  • Life Lessons

    Preserve your loved one’s hard-earned wisdom to pass on. We make vivid those complex, nuanced stories and lessons so that they transform the narrator and reader alike.

    $15,000 Estimate: Includes multiple interviews, writing, editing, collaboration, and a professionally designed chapter book with photographs. Each chapter (minimum 10 chapters) focuses on a compelling story that brings that specific lesson to life.

  • Journal Reconstruction

    Want to turn that stack of your grandmother’s priceless journals into a book? What about your great uncle’s letters from the war? Great! Let us give the project dimension.

    $30,000 Estimate: Includes reading 3 journals, digitizing the pages, research, compiling themes, preserving the most dynamic moments in the speaker’s own words, design, and an elegant book organized into chapters.

  • Historical Fiction

    Interested in an ancestor or a family who lived at a remarkable time? Limited in the records they left? Give us what you do have and we can fill in the rest to create an imagined narrative—based on facts—that reads like a short story collection.

    $35,000 Estimate: Includes relevant interviews, reading documents, researching the period, and a 10-chapter book of distinct short stories.

    Also available in shorter formats, priced by individual story rather than a collection

  • Autobiography or Memoir

    Looking to tell your full-life story (autobiography)? What about an artistic rendering of a specific, formative period of your life (memoir)? As experts, we can help you navigate the difference to create a book that transcends time.

    $55,000 Estimate: Includes in-depth interviews, frequent collaboration, and the creation of an engaging, full-length chapter book, ghostwritten in the first-person.

  • Biography

    Looking to tell someone’s full life story? We gather the relevant material to animate those details and pivotal moments that make up the person’s unique experience, whether they are here with us anymore or not.

    $65,000 Estimate: Includes in-depth interviews, frequent collaboration, and the creation of an engaging, full-length chapter book told in first- or third-person narration.

When we say custom, we mean custom. Anything can be modified to fit unique needs and budgets. Interested in something above, with a tweak? What about something not featured above, like multimedia add-ons? Contact us and we will be in touch.
