How Our Autobiography Writing Services Work:

You don't need a manuscript or outline. Through recorded interviews, we gather your memories, experiences and important details while learning how you naturally speak and tell your story.

Your feedback becomes part of the writing process. We revise each chapter, continue interviews as needed and repeat the process for every new chapter. Interviews and revisions are unlimited, so your autobiography develops around your memories and feedback.

FAQ'S
What Is the Difference Between an Autobiography, Biography and Memoir?
An autobiography tells the broader story of your own life, written from your perspective. A biography tells the life story of another person and is written from an outside perspective. A memoir is also based on your own life, but usually focuses on a particular period, experience or theme rather than covering your life as a whole.
Do I need to have anything written before hiring an autobiography writer?
No. You don’t need a manuscript, outline, or even organized notes before hiring an autobiography writer. Your writer can build your autobiography from recorded interviews and, if available, use photographs, journals, letters, documents, or other personal materials to help develop your life story.
How long does it take to write an autobiography?
The timeline depends on the length and complexity of your life story. Most autobiography writing projects take between 2 to 4 months, including interviews, drafting, revisions, and editing. Larger or more detailed autobiographies may take longer.
Can someone else write my autobiography for me?
Yes. You can hire a professional autobiography writer or ghostwriter to write your autobiography for you. The writer can build your life story from recorded interviews, memories, notes, photographs, journals, and other materials, then write it in your voice and perspective. With Writers of the West, you review the book as it develops and retain 100% ownership of the finished autobiography.
How much does it cost to hire an autobiography ghostwriter?
Autobiography writing costs vary depending on the length of the manuscript, research involved, and level of editing required. Writers of the West offers flexible pricing and payment plans to make professional autobiography writing accessible to more authors.
Is hiring an autobiography ghostwriter confidential?
Yes. Every autobiography writing project is handled with complete confidentiality.
