Capture Life's Essence Forever!


"My wife's memoirs gave me the key to her life to hold forever. This book unlocked the memories that made up our lives together."

"My grandmother's stories were passed down from one generation to another. Now they'll never be forgotten. I couldn't be happier."

These are just two comments from people who decided to produce the personal histories of people they loved--because beyond statistics and circumstances are the unique experiences that make up our lives, and the lives of the people close to us.

YOU can unlock those mysteries with a written personal or family history that generations will treasure.


"Heidi gave me honest, creative comments, while building my self-confidence. That's hard to do, but she did it. I can't say enough to express my appreciation for her talent with words...she has my full endorsement."

- Ellen MacKinsey, Crescent City, CA, 2007

Can You Really Write A Book?

Absolutely! With a little bit of help, the process of putting memories to paper and transforming them into a cherished book is all part of a predetermined process, where each step follows the next logically and easily.

If writing your own or someone else's memoirs is daunting or has become more than you bargained for, it's time to turn your project over to us. We can write it and edit it for you. We can even transcribe notes you have on tape. And the result? A beautifully prepared book designed to represent everything you want to hold in your heart forever.

We are here to pull it all together for you.

Memoirs Unlimited offers options that make your history live on. We can:

  • edit your completed manuscript
  • write from your notes or recorded tapes
  • design the internal pages
  • design the cover
  • have your book printed in hardcover or perfect bound (soft cover)
  • produce your book in an e-format (as a pdf file) so you can easily share it via the Internet

How much does all this cost? Naturally, that depends on several variables, such as:

  • How much editing/writing is invovled
  • How many hardcover or perfect bound books you want produced, and how long the book is
  • How much design work you want vs. the work you supply yourself...do you want me to design the internal pages as well as the cover?

In order to give you an idea, one recent project for one of my clients looked like this:

  • Professional editing, book design, cover illustration and printing consulting services: approximately $4,500.

  • 1500 hardcover books, 224 pages each, 10 black and white photo pages inserted (including delivery of books): approximately $7,000.

Please bear in mind that every single project is different, based on unique standards for the type of product you would like.

Call me or email me for a brochure and/or a more detailed estimate of your personal project...and capture life's essence forever!
