When you contact me by email or phone at Memoirs for Life, I invite you to tell me what you want to do with your memoir and ask any questions about my writing services. Writing memoirs can seem confusing or overwhelming at the start. I hope that I may have answered some of your questions in this website. Feel free to ask more.

Fees & Compensation
I usually work as a ghostwriter or writer for memoirs on a project fee basis. I will provide you with an estimate after our consultation helps me determine the scope of your memoir, my role in putting it together, and the amount of time our work may take. Once we agree on a project fee, I begin work with a 50% deposit. Your memoir may take only a few months to write, with an additional period for publishing, or it may take a bit longer. We can clarify this during our initial planning session.

Travel
At Memoirs for Life, I travel all over the country and outside the U.S. to assist clients with their memoirs. We can meet in or near your own home, and I am available to visit your hometown with you. My travel expenses are above the project fee.

Hourly Fees
As a writing coach, editor, or advisor on memoirs, I usually work on an hourly basis. Sometimes a project fee may fit. Let's discuss the best arrangement.
