Your Journey, From Idea to Books

We simplify the entire book creation process, making it easy for anyone to create a book. Our expert team will support you every step of the way. Let us manage the end-to-end process that includes writing, editing, design, typesetting & printing.

Step 1

Project Kickoff

Our seasoned project editors will explain exactly what you can expect before embarking on what will be a truly one of a kind journey.

Step 2

Writer Introduction

By taking into consideration a number of factors including your goals, topics and even location we'll pair you with a writer who truly represents your unique voice. With over 600 writers, rest assured we will find the right writing expertise to meet your needs.
Step 3

Questionnaire

Our questionnaires are crafted to jog your memory and provide the necessary structure for your interviews. Alternatively, you can opt to purchase an additional interview session and skip the questionnaire entirely.

Interviews

Customers love the interview stage. Your writer is expertly trained to meticulously extract the unique details of your story whilst ensuring the conversation is natural and engaging. During the interviews, nostalgic memories you haven’t thought about for years or even decades will resurface.

Sessions are typically conducted over the course of 2 hours and take place in-person or remotely to suit your convenience.
Step 5

Writing & Editing

Once all of the interviews have been completed, you’ll first receive a detailed outline to make sure all the important moments and lessons of your life are covered. Next we create the first chapter to get the writing style as you want it. Once we have incorporated your feedback, we create the draft manuscript for your review. If you opt for a Swift package, the editing will be fully in your control.

Book Cover, Photos & Design

Now the fun really begins. You can choose from our stunning book cover templates or have your own commercial grade cover designed. Also, we have made it easy to allocate your photos to the right chapters and add captions on our unique Bookmaker platform.
Step 7

Print & Delivery

Once you're delighted with the text, layout, and design, we’ll send you a PDF for final approval. Then, you'll receive your stunning, full-colour, hardcover books — exquisite, tangible masterpieces that can withstand the test of time.
