Memoir writing
I work with founders and families who want their story told with depth — not just as it happened, but as it felt. My role is to listen closely, ask the right questions, and shape the narrative in a way that reflects the vision, grit, and humanity behind it. This isn’t just storytelling — it’s craft, clarity, and emotional precision.
1
Interviews & preparation
I'll plan comprehensive interviews in person to get your stories out of your head and into a book that’s in your words and your voice. Interviews can take place in English, French, German, Swiss German, and Spanish. I'll travel to where you or your loved ones are.
2
Outline validation
After a first series of interviews, I will create an outline, which we will discuss, refine and validate together.
3
Manuscript
Once the initial material is gathered, I’ll begin writing your manuscript. When the first version is ready, I’ll share it with you so we can review it together.
You’ll have the chance to give me detailed feedback: what feels true, what’s missing, and what needs adjusting. I’ll revise until it feels right — there’s no fixed limit on iterations, but I aim to make the process as focused and efficient as possible for both of us.
If certain sections need more depth, we may schedule a second round of interviews to fill in the gaps or explore new angles. Once everything is on the page, I’ll refine and polish the manuscript before submitting it for final review. Once you have validated the final manuscript, it will be professionally proofread.

Cover Design, Formatting, and Typesetting
In parallel to the proofreading, a specialized graphic designer will bring your cover design brief to life. I'll coordinate everything and submit the final versions to you for the final selection.
5
Ready for Sign Off and Printing
Once the proofreading and the cover design are ready, you'll get a final look at the whole thing before it goes into printing. I'll coordinate everything with the appropriate printing company so don't have to think about it. The only thing that you'll have to tell me, is how many copies you want printed.
6
Book Delivery
I'll coordinate the delivery of your printed copies with the printing company, so you just have to open the box and stare at your very own book.
7
Optional: Publication Coordination
If you wish to sell your book on platforms like amazon, I can support you with that as well.

You retain all rights and ownership of the book
I'm acting as a ghostwriter. Therefore, you retain all the copyrights and royalties of your book. I'm happy to sign any NDAs you might find necessary. Discretion is not a problem.
