Biography and autobiography writing
A well-made biography combines research, interviews and narrative craft. We handle all three, whether the subject is you, a family member or the organisation you built.
Projects we take on
Commissioned biographies
A parent, partner, mentor or public figure, written from interviews, archives and the people who knew them.
Company and organisation histories
Founding stories, milestones and the people behind them, for anniversaries, succession or brand heritage.
Legacy and tribute books
Privately printed books that preserve a life for family and community.
The research behind the writing
Good biography is built on evidence, not just recollection.
- Structured interviews with the subject and those around them
- Archival research, records, photographs and correspondence
- Timeline construction and fact verification
- Clear handling of contested memories and gaps
- Permissions guidance for quoted material and images
- Sensitive treatment of private and difficult material
Common questions
How is a biography different from a memoir?
A biography is a researched account of a life, often in the third person and often written by someone else. A memoir is a first-person, selective account of part of a life. Both are available; the discovery consultation helps you choose.
Can you write about someone who has passed away?
Yes. Family interviews, records and archives can support a rich biography. We are careful about verification and about how living relatives are represented.
