Biography Writing
Someone else's life, researched and written in the third person, with their family's cooperation.
For a family honoring a parent or founder, a company documenting its own history, or a subject who wants their story told but isn't the one writing it — built from interviews with the subject (or the people who knew them) plus whatever records, letters, and archives exist.
What's included
- 01Interviews with the subject and named family members or colleagues, recorded and transcribed
- 02Fact-checking against available records, dated events verified where possible
- 03A chapter outline approved by whoever commissioned the book before drafting begins
- 04A sensitivity read on any chapter involving other named, living people
Where this fits
This is drafting work — the manuscript itself. If you'll also need editing, publishing, or print once a draft exists, those are their own services and can be scoped alongside this one from the start.
Ownership & confidentiality
- You keep 100% of copyright and royalties on everything delivered.
- An NDA is signed before any of your material is shared, including on the intro call.

Ask about biography writingHow this gets scoped
The same four steps behind every standalone service on this page — the specifics change, the shape doesn't.
Brief
A short intake before anything is quoted — audience, angle, length, deadline. In writing, so nothing depends on what someone remembers from a call.
Scope & quote
A real number for your specific project, not a rate card guess. You approve the scope before any drafting starts.
The work itself
Drafted, designed, or sent against that agreed brief — delivered in workable pieces where the format allows, not one drop at the end.
Revision & delivery
A structured revision round, then delivery in the format you'll actually use — not a Google Doc you have to reformat yourself.
