Writers Who Handle Heavy Topics Gently
Grief, illness, addiction, war or a broken marriage. Our writers listen without judgment and give you room to share at your own speed.
Most people keep their best stories forever. They like telling their stories during family gatherings, marriages and while traveling long distances. But those stories rarely make it onto paper. Writing about your own life is hard. You don’t know where to begin or what to leave out. Our writers make that part easier and provide the best memoir writing services.
At Hancock Publishers, our professional memoir writers let you talk first and write second. We take time to listen to your stories, your tone and the instances that you would like the readers to recall.

Your Life, Your Words
A good memoir doesn’t list everything that happened. It picks the moments that matter and shows why they mattered. Maybe it’s the year you lost your job and started over. Maybe you have worked as a farmer, a soldier or even a single parent raising three children. Our memoir book writing services help you find the thread that ties your life together, so readers stay with you until the last page.
No pre-planning or drafting is necessary to start. Our clients come with just some memories and an idea that their story needs to be told. We have other clients who bring old letters, diaries, photographs and even a manuscript started decades ago. We work with whatever you have.

Why Hancock
A memoir asks a lot of the person telling it. These are the quieter parts of our work that make the process easier and the book better.
Grief, illness, addiction, war or a broken marriage. Our writers listen without judgment and give you room to share at your own speed.
Phone calls work just as well as video. Sessions can be short & a family member can help set things up. No tech skills needed.
We never invent events to make your story more dramatic. If a memory is unclear, we say so honestly on the page. Readers trust a memoir that tells the truth.
Some stories belong to more than one person. Couples, siblings & three generations of one family can tell their story together in one book.
If you want readers beyond your family, we build the book around a theme anyone can connect with, like starting over, finding courage or coming home.
A memoir needs a strong finish. We close your story with where you stand today, so readers put the book down feeling it was worth every page.
Why Storytellers Choose Hancock
Handing your life story to someone else takes trust. Here is what you can count on when you work with us.
Your writer catches your voice through your sense of humor, the words you use & even your descriptions of people. Anybody who knows you will recognize you in the writing.
Memoirs often touch painful memories or family members who are still alive. You choose what to share, what to soften & what to leave out completely.
You won’t have to type a single page. If you can tell a story out loud, you can have a memoir.
An outside writer can see which parts of your life will hold a reader’s attention. Sometimes it’s the very moment you planned to skip. We tell you what works and why.
The book belongs to you and has your name on the top. We stay in the background.
No two lives follow the same pattern, so no two memoirs should either. We match you with a writer who understands the book you have in mind, whether it’s a keepsake for your family or a book you want on store shelves. Here are some of the stories we write.
Chapter 01
