Choose a memoir, life story, family history or biography.

You are free to choose between a memoir, life story, family history or biography. A memoir is a collection of memories about an event or theme and can be as short as 4,000 words or as long as 80,000 words. In a memoir you tell the story in your own voice. A life story is similar in that you tell the story in your voice, but it covers your entire life. It can start at birth or before and continues to the present. A life story is often called an autobiography—your story narrated by you in your distinctive voice. A family history explores your family’s past, and a biography covers a person’s whole life, but a third person tells the story.

Most of the memoirs and life stories I write range between 15,000 and 40,000 words although I have written books that are 100,000 words. You are free to choose the length that best suits your individual needs and budget.
