Your Professional In-House Team
Unlike services that rely on automated prompts or templates, we provide a truly collaborative, human-centered process. Our clients are not left to navigate the complexities of writing, design, and publishing alone. Instead, we are your dedicated team of professionals—writers, editors, designers, and print/bind experts—guiding you through every step.
The as-told-to process begins with one-on-one interviews, including Zoom calls, where you can share your stories naturally and conversationally. Our team then meticulously transcribes, edits, and refines your content into a polished narrative that captures your unique voice. Or, if you’ve already written your manuscript, our editors and proofreaders will work closely with you to revise and polish your text, while preserving your voice so as to present your story in an authentic and engaging way.
Customized Design & High-Quality Production
We believe every life is unique, and its storybook should be, too. Our commitment to personalized design truly sets us apart. We don’t use templates; each project is a custom creation, built from the ground up to reflect your life, era, tone, and personal style. This includes tailored layouts, unique typography, and the tasteful integration of photographs and documents.
The result is a book that is not only a compelling read but also a beautiful visual artifact. Our dedication to high-quality standards extends to the physical product, as books are printed and bound using the best materials and techniques, ensuring each one is a durable and elegant heirloom to last for generations.
The Value of Your Legacy
At Modern Memoirs, Inc., we know a life story is worth more than can be measured. Our mission is to honor that value with a service that matches its significance. We often challenge our clients with a simple question: “What is your story worth?”
We are not a low-cost alternative. We are the premier choice for clients who want to invest in a lasting legacy. With over 30 years of experience developing meticulous systems for project management, our in-house team of dedicated, creative, sensitive professionals is committed to helping you create the beautiful book you envision with compassion, finesse, and expertise. Our primary goal is to have a set of beautiful, well-written books in your hands in a timely manner. Our comprehensive service is a solution for those who want to do more than just document their history. We professionally curate it into a timeless masterpiece—a finished product as sophisticated and unique as your own life, free from the limitations of automated systems and generic designs.
