“Made a memoir for my mother's 80th — printed 15 copies for relatives. The hardcover binding makes it feel important. Because it is.”

“Photos came out beautifully. The team reformatted my Word doc into something that actually reads like a published memoir.”
Memoirs questions
Memoir-specific questions.
Can I include photos in my memoir?+
Yes. For a photo-heavy memoir, premium colour on glossy paper reproduces them beautifully; for mostly-text memoirs, black & white keeps costs down. Tell us about your book and we'll recommend the best setup.
How do I structure a memoir if it's currently just notes?+
Send us what you have — letters, journals, transcribed interviews, photos with captions. We'll suggest a structure (chronological, thematic, alternating voices) and reformat it into book form. You approve every chapter before we print.
Can you handle handwritten material?+
Yes. We can scan and include scans as image pages, or transcribe selected sections (quoted as an additional service). Tell us what you have when you write in.
What about copyright and family permissions?+
Memoirs about real people raise concerns we can't advise on legally. We recommend getting written consent from anyone significantly featured before printing widely.
