Remembered Forever Transcript Package

01

Immortalize your life story in transcripts for your family

This popular option captures your story, delivered as interviews transcribed for posterity rather than in the form of a memoir. We’ll transcribe and format the interviews, binding them in a beautiful book for future generations. Don’t let your stories and insights disappear; contact us today to get started.

US$5,995 for your 12 transcripts and recordings

  • Free trial: Get your first two interviews 100% free so you can get to know our team. Keep the recordings and transcripts even if you decide not to proceed.

  • Money-back guarantee: If for any reason you’re not thrilled with the final package, we will work assiduously to amend it, and if you’re still not thrilled, we will refund 50% of your full payment (US$2,998). Keep the transcripts and recordings.

  • Interest-free installments: Pay in two installments over a month.

  • Low time commitment: If you have enough time for lunch, you have enough time for us to record your story. We only need you for one hour-long interview a week for 12 weeks.

Package specifications

  • Up to 12 transcribed interviews—with any filler words (ums, ahs, and stutters) filtered out (Don’t have time for 12 interviews? We can do all the interviewing in a single day.) 

  • Completed in 3–4 months for most people or just 3–4 weeks if you’re willing to do the interviews in a more compressed time frame

  • Delivered in 5 beautifully bound softcover copies (and digitally as a PDF for easy sharing)

  • Interview recordings are made available for download for 6 months and delivered via postal mail on two flash drives (a lot of clients put these in a safe deposit box for future generations)

Add a “life overview” for US$2,995.

A “life overview” is a way to make the transcripts more accessible to descendants with storytelling and photographs.

​

For most people, the 12 interviews will yield about 250–400 pages of detailed transcripts, with family stories, turning points in your life, heartfelt anecdotes, and more. A “life overview” is a thoughtful 40-page summary that succinctly conveys themes, lessons, key stories, key names and dates, and more. It is delivered with a beautiful custom cover and can contain as many family photos as you choose to add.

​

As an example, Luke, the founder of MemoirGhostwriting.com, says that his father’s “life overview” notes that he went to medical school in Belgium, the years he was there, and his rationale for going overseas, but the transcripts also contain a hilarious story Luke’s father has told often about how he got his head stuck in the doors of the Brussels metro. (He was rescued and became a successful doctor.)

Add illuminating genealogical research (15 hours) for US$1,995.

What does 15 hours of professional genealogy research yield? It’s different for everyone, but for Luke Palder, our founder, it yielded a family tree with names, birthdates, birth locations, and marriage records for over 40 paternal ancestors and over 100 maternal ancestors, almost all of whom were unknown to Luke before this research.

Immortalize your life story as a memoir for your family 

Imagine being able to talk to and guide family members long after you’re gone—that’s the power of having your own memoir, which we can help you write in only 3 months. Your great-great-great-grandchildren will know exactly what you’d like them to know about your life.

Keep the memoir and interview recordings. This is unheard of in the world of ghostwriting.

  • Interest-free installments: Pay in 5 installments over 5 months.

  • Low time commitment: If you have time for lunch, you have time to write a book; we need you for just one hour-long interview a week for 12 weeks and for as long or as little as you’d like to provide feedback on your drafts.

  • Genealogical research: Enhance your memoir with 15 hours of professional genealogical research. For Luke Palder, our founder, this research yielded a family tree with names, birthdates, birth locations, and marriage records for over 40 paternal ancestors and over 100 maternal ancestors (US$1,995)

  • An audiobook of your memoir read by a professional voice actor and produced by the same experts who created audiobooks for Life of Pi and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (US$6,995)

  • A translation of your memoir into the language(s) of your choice (price varies)

  • For those who prefer in-person interviews instead of Zoom or FaceTime or those who have extensive documents and/or photos to collate and scan, we offer the option to fly to your location anywhere in the world multiple times (price varies based on location)

As a venture capitalist and someone who prides himself on being a good judge of character, I’m careful about the people I choose to work with. I selected Luke and the MemoirGhostwriting.com team to capture my story because of their exceptional professionalism, sensitivity, and expertise, and they did a wonderful job of retelling my life beyond the business world. The team dug deep and articulated my journey in a personal and—at times—profound way. The interviews were an absolute joy, and I’m thrilled with the work they produced. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to preserve their legacy.

Bestseller Package

03

Become a top thought leader with an Amazon, BarnesAndNoble.com, USA Today, or New York Times bestseller (memoir, business book, or self-help book) and a full-blown marketing campaign. 


Become known as one of the most recognized leaders in your field, and easily win more business, position yourself for board seats, or increase your speaking fees.

If you want to reach a wide audience to improve your name recognition or status as an expert in your field, which often leads to prestigious speaking and consulting engagements and/or larger customer accounts, writing a best-selling book is the quickest way to increase your credibility. Many high-performing business leaders have released their own books, usually through ghostwriters. From that moment, they can introduce themselves as, for example, J. Doe, CEO of Acme Inc. and author of Lessons in Leadership. That addition to their introduction is powerful and permanent.

​

In only 9 months, we can help you write a memoir, business book, or self-help book that reaches the Amazon and/or BarnesAndNoble.com bestseller list in your category—guaranteed or your marketing money back. We can also help you target the USA Today and/or New York Times bestseller lists.

US$68,000 for your public-facing memoir, business book, or self-help book

  • Expertise at each step: Your team of about 11 people (interviewer, writer, editors, designers, and publishing experts) will each do their part over around nine months.

  • Free trial: Get your first two interviews 100% free so you can get to know our team. Keep the recordings and transcripts even if you decide not to proceed.

  • Money-back guarantee: If for any reason you’re not thrilled with the final package, we will work assiduously to amend it, and if you’re still not thrilled, we will refund 50% of your full payment (US$34,000). Keep the book, interview recordings, and marketing materials. This is unheard of in the world of ghostwriting.

  • Interest-free installments: Pay in 9 installments over 9 months.

  • Save on taxes: This service can often be purchased as a pre-tax business expense.

  • Low time commitment: If you have time for lunch, you have time to write a book; we need you for just one hour-long interview a week for 12 weeks and for as long or as little as you’d like to provide feedback on your drafts.

Package specifications

  • Up to 14 interviews (Don’t have time for 14 interviews? We can do nearly all the interviewing in a single day and then just ask follow-up questions as needed.)

  • Targeted marketing campaign to land on the New York Times audiobook bestseller list (US$155,000–US$255,000, including audiobook production)

How do we get your book on bestseller lists?

Targeting the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists requires a fully-fledged personal and book marketing campaign, the likes of which we regularly orchestrate. Our marketing team includes some of the best book marketers in the business, making them experts on landing authors on these bestseller lists. With New York Times and USA Today campaigns, landing on one of those lists isn’t guaranteed, but our team has helped authors accomplish that feat +100 times, and they’ll give you the best possible chance of achieving your goal. Even if your book isn’t selected for those lists, it’ll certainly end up an Amazon and BarnesAndNoble.com bestseller, and your public profile will be greatly boosted by all the associated marketing efforts.

 

For Amazon and BarnesAndNoble.com, we do guarantee we’ll get you on those lists, and we’ll refund your marketing spend if we don’t. Why? We don’t miss; those lists are far more formulaic (i.e., did you sell X books to real people within Y time period to rise to the top of your category?). Over the years, we’ve built up email lists of readers—5,000,000 real people—who are looking for discounted eBooks in their preferred genres. We simply email the subsets of those lists that have purchased similar books before and tell them that your book is now available. Enough people choose to buy that your book rockets to the top of either or both lists.

 

Here’s exactly how we do it:

  • We lower the cost of the eBook to US$0.99 for a limited time.

  • We run some calculations to estimate how many people it’ll take to land your book on the bestseller list that you select.

  • We email the subsets of the 5,000,000 potential readers who prefer your genre about your book.

  • Enough people choose to buy your book with no other incentive beyond the sale price that it lands you on the bestseller list.

No. We reach an audience of readers who have signed up to receive emails about interesting books for sale. This is no different than reaching followers on social media. (We just have an email following of about 5,000,000 people!)

​

We simply email the subsets of our list most likely to be interested in your genre and say, “This new book you may be interested in is for sale. Would you like to buy it?”

​

If you don’t reach an Amazon or BarnesAndNoble.com bestseller list through our marketing efforts, we will refund your marketing money.

 

In other words, we're so confident in our Amazon and BarnesAndNoble.com marketing strategy that we'll refund 100% of your spend on this strategy in the unlikely event that it fails (it hasn't yet).

Do we knowingly violate any bookseller policies to increase sales?

Your Time Commitment

If you have enough time for lunch, you have enough time to write a book. All you need is one hour a week for 12 weeks for interviews (no need to prepare or know what you’re going to say—it’s our job to ask great questions and then listen to find the story) and then time to review drafts as you see fit when they’re ready.

​

Reality is such that those who are busy now tend to be busy later. With that in mind, we encourage you to start now. Our aim is to structure a dialogue so casual that you’ll write a book without even noticing that you’re doing it.

We make the ghostwriting process easy and convenient, all while preserving your voice

Writing a memoir may seem daunting, but you’ll work with the same project manager throughout the endeavor. The project manager will oversee and coordinate the project from start to finish, so you can relax and leave the technical details to us.

​

From our very first meeting, we’ll ensure that your memoir reflects your story and personality. During your Vision Meeting, we’ll discuss the structure and style of your memoir, including its tone. While conducting your interviews, your ghostwriter will focus on capturing your voice to make sure it carries through in your memoir. At your review meeting, your ghostwriter will gather feedback from you to ensure that your memoir is everything you dreamed it would be. And we’ll keep rewriting it until you’re absolutely delighted with the result.

​

Our focus throughout the ghostwriting process is always on you—on providing you with professional service based on excellent customer care while maintaining confidentiality at all times.

  • What goals do you help people accomplish?
    With our Bestseller Package, we help clients write, publish, and market best-selling memoirs, business and nonfiction books, and self-help books. This package is suitable for anyone who wants to write a bestseller, but it’s the favorite of CEOs and entrepreneurs because writing a bestseller helps them to expand their client base immortalize their legacy make a difference in their industry or in people’s lives promote themself as a consultant secure speaking engagements set themself or their business apart from the competition share their ideas and experience support others as they navigate life or business challenges With our Friends and Family Memoir Package, we help clients to immortalize their legacy in a beautiful, professionally formatted book share their life story with their loved ones support their loved ones and those who come after them on their life’s journey With our Remembered Forever Transcript Package, we help clients to immortalize their legacy through beautiful, professionally formatted interview transcripts share their life story with their loved ones
  • What are some common fears ghostwriting clients face?
    1. I’m not a strong storyteller or writer. Working with our professional ghostwriting team turns every client into a strong storyteller and writer. Our ghostwriters know what to ask you to make your story compelling while retaining your voice. 2. I don’t have the time to write a book. We do all the hard work so that you don’t have to. The clients we support are busy people. If 12 interviews sounds too time consuming, we have solutions: We can conduct all the interviewing in a single day. We might need to ask you a few follow-up questions, but we can ask 95% of the questions in a single day. We can do this on Zoom or we can travel to you for an additional fee. We can try to get everything done in as few as four interviews. We’ll focus on the most common questions and fill in the blanks with targeted questions later on. We can meet with you at any hour of the day. (Whether you’re available at 6:00 a.m. or 9:00 p.m., we’ll make it happen.) We can interview those close to you instead for up to a third of the interviews. Interviewing your children or your spouse is a great way to have other people “brag” for you. 3. I don’t have enough content to fill a book. Our ghostwriters are skilled interviewers who will help you identify interesting anecdotes to include in your memoir. Contrary to popular belief, no one’s life is “too boring”; everyone has fascinating thoughts and anecdotes to share. 4. My book won’t be interesting enough to sell, or my book won’t stand out in its niche. Our ghostwriters have the knowledge and experience to know what sells. They leverage that knowledge while working with you to identify the most important elements for your story and the most compelling narratives and themes to engage your readers. 5. I won’t get enough of a return on my investment. Publishing a bestseller is the simplest way to reach a wide audience and promote your personal and business brands. Our clients see returns not only through an expanded client base but also through paid speaking and consulting engagements. You might even be able to claim the cost as a business expense (although you’d need to discuss this with your accountant). 6. I’m just not ready to write a book. We’re available to discuss and address any lingering fears. You have nothing to lose by contacting us to talk about what’s stopping you from writing your memoir or nonfiction book. Get in touch today!
  • I don’t have time for 12 interviews. Can I choose to have fewer interviews?
    Yes. The clients we support are busy people. If 12 interviews sounds too time consuming, we have solutions: We can conduct all the interviewing in a single day. We might need to ask you a few follow-up questions, but we can ask 95% of the questions in a single day. We can do this on Zoom or we can travel to you for an additional fee. We can try to get everything done in as few as four interviews. We’ll focus on the most common questions and fill in the blanks with targeted questions later on. We can meet with you at any hour of the day. (Whether you’re available at 6:00 a.m. or 9:00 p.m., we’ll make it happen.) We can interview those close to you instead for up to a third of the interviews. Interviewing your children or your spouse is a great way to have other people “brag” for you.
  • What if I don’t know what I want to say?
    You don’t need to know what you want to say, just that you have something to say. Our friendly, approachable ghostwriters have the skills and experience to ask you the right questions to help you find the narrative.
  • What if I’m uncomfortable bragging about myself?
    We hire warm, caring interviewers who develop a relationship with you and ideally make you comfortable turning over personal rocks. We can ask you about your life in chronological order to draw out your major accomplishments. We can interview those close to you instead for up to a third of the interviews. Interviewing your children or your spouse is a great way to have other people “brag” for you.
  • Who will be credited as the author of my book?
    You will. We are not named as an author or coauthor, and we don’t receive any royalties.
  • Who are your interviewers?
    For the Friends and Family Memoir Package and the Bestseller Package, your ghostwriter will conduct the interviews with the support of one of our trained interviewers. Based on your Vision Meeting, the writer will know what information they need to flesh out your story, capture your tone and personality, and spin your story into a fascinating narrative. ​ For the Remembered Forever Transcript Package, kind, caring people with backgrounds in anthropology, sociology, or both will conduct the interviews.
  • Who are your writers?
    Our writers are experienced professional ghostwriters who LOVE memoirs. They have written successful books, either as ghostwriters or as credited authors, and have worked with a huge variety of clients. We will match you with a writer with knowledge of your background or industry who can capture your voice and personality.
  • Who is the publisher?
    Most clients self-publish on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo because they want to maintain full control of their story, and we handle the tech side of this for them. For those who want to traditionally publish, we provide support with writing query letters and preparing materials for the query package to make querying less daunting. We also have deep connections with agents that we can leverage on your behalf.
  • Can I be involved in the editing process?
    As much or as little as you’d like. Our clients who are BigLaw partners often prefer to edit alongside us. Our celebrity clients often prefer to have us do 99% of the editing. Your level of involvement is up to you.
  • Can I add images to my cover and/or book?
    Absolutely. As many as you’d like to any book (non-transcript) package.
  • How do you maintain confidentiality?
    Every member of our team who works on your memoir—from the writer to the editor to the cover designer—has agreed to confidentiality provisions.
  • Do you have any samples?
    Yes, we can send you a few samples (with the clients’ permission). Please fill out this form so we can send them to you.
  • Is there enough in my life to write about?
    Yes. Our ghostwriters are skilled interviewers who will help you identify interesting anecdotes to include in your memoir. Contrary to popular belief, no one’s life is “too boring”; everyone has fascinating thoughts and anecdotes to share.
  • Will my memoir sound like it was written in my voice?
    Yes. The interviews are about more than simply collecting information from you. They’re also an opportunity to capture your essence so that your ghostwriter can write the memoir in your voice and in the tone you specified during your Vision Meeting.
