Frequently Asked Questions

During your free client consultation, I will show you a couple of different books and let you know about how much each they cost, with an accompanying explanation.

There are many factors are at play that go into determing the cost of your book including the author’s participation in the written manuscript, the book design, and the scope of the memoir.

It depends on several factors: 

  • The amount of material you want to cover
  • The number of photos you include
  • The number of drafts we write
  • My schedule and yours
  • I’ve done a history in as few as nine months. It focused only on the narrator’s marriage. More thorough books generally take two to four years.
