Importance of writing a
biography / autobiography
In most of the writing Services, Biography is one of the toughest books to write. It can get overwhelming when you try to capture the journey of your entire life. A book about a life’s journey, struggles, and achievements written by a biographer is called a biography. One written by the person whose journey it is, is called an autobiography. A biography is written in 3rd person, while an autobiography is written in the first person. A lot of autobiographies are written by ghostwriters who are offering biography writing service.

Procedure
The procedure to go ahead with our memoir writing service has 9 steps, as described
below:
Discuss your life’s journey and achievements in brief, with us over phone call, mail or video meeting.
Let us know how many pages or words your biography should be. We give you an estimate and offer if any.
We can sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) before starting the work.
You pay an advance for your memoir writer or professional bio writer.
If you combine publishing service, then we will start publishing services after the writing is over and approved by you.
There may be several interviews, via phone, video meetings, or face-to-face meetings. In the first casual meeting, try to cover your entire life in brief, so the biographer can list the milestones of your life as chapters. In subsequent interviews, you can elaborate details about each chapter of your life. You can also share inputs in the form of audio recordings by you. You can also share photos, related to your story.
We start writing, and deliver you weekly.
You can share your feedback and suggestions; changes will be carried out as per feedback and shared in the next delivery.
Pay installments on reaching milestones.
