Professional Autobiography Writing Services

An autobiography writing service pairs you with a professional writer who helps turn your life story into a finished book. The writer interviews you, organizes your memories into a timeline and writes the chapters in your voice. You stay the author: the story, perspective and final decisions are yours, and your name goes on the cover.

It starts with a conversation about your goals and a written quote. Then your ghostwriter interviews you over several recorded sessions, builds an outline you approve and writes the book in batches you review. After editing and proofreading, you receive a polished manuscript, with optional design and publishing help if you want it.

Yes, and that’s the heart of the job. Your writer listens closely to how you speak – your phrasing, humor and rhythm – and writes in that voice. Because you review every chapter, you can flag anything that doesn’t sound like you, and your writer adjusts until it does. The goal is for your family to “hear” you on every page.

Our clients include business owners and executives, public figures, retirees who want to leave a record for their grandchildren, and people who’ve lived through remarkable experiences. What they share is a story worth telling and a wish to have it written well, without spending years learning to write a book. You don’t need to be famous; you just need a life you want remembered.

Absolutely. Organizing decades of memories is one of the most valuable things a ghostwriter does. We build a detailed timeline first, group events into chapters by life stage or theme, and decide where key stories belong. You end up with a clear structure before a single chapter is drafted.

A clear contract sets out the scope of the book, its approximate length, the timeline, the price and the payment terms. It should also confirm confidentiality through an NDA and state that you own all rights to the finished work. Ours does all of that in plain language, and we’re happy to walk you through it.

Yes. Once the project is complete and paid for, you keep 100% of the rights and royalties. You can publish it, sell it, print copies for your family or keep it private. Your writer has no claim on the book and is bound by an NDA to keep your story confidential.

Yes. Every autobiography we write goes through a separate editor and a proofreader before delivery. The editor improves flow and consistency, while the proofreader catches grammar slips and checks names, dates and places. If you’ve written a draft yourself, our book editing services can polish it too.

Most autobiographies take 8 to 14 weeks once interviews begin. A longer life story with many records to review may take a little more time, and how quickly you review chapters also affects the schedule. We set a realistic timeline with you at the start and keep you updated as chapters are completed.

Pricing depends on the length of your book, the number of interviews and how much material we need to review. Autobiography projects at AMZ United Press start from $2,200. After we learn about your story, you’ll get a written quote covering the full scope, so you know the total before work begins. Optional extras like design or an audio edition are always priced separately.
