Writing your book: Your Life Story… and/or Ghostwriting Services…
Many meetings, reviews and conversations will go into our goal of publishing your book. Your feedback will be constant through the entire process. Our goal is perfection.
Services
Your Life Story
Your memoir, your autobiography — told in your own voice. We sit with you, listen deeply, and shape your experiences into a beautifully written, professionally published book. From first interview to final page, we handle everything.
Family History
Preserve your family’s legacy for generations to come. We research your genealogy, gather stories and photographs, and weave them into a rich, narrative family history book your loved ones will treasure forever.
About
The MICHAEL and OXFORD Approach
Typically, to complete your finished book, the price averages around $10,000, which includes publishing and copies of your book. Cancellation is permitted at any juncture.
Your Life Story in a Published Book
Someone is missing from the bench above—you. This is your invitation to step into the picture and finally tell the story only you can tell. Your book will read like a novel: vivid, honest, and carefully crafted to honor the life you have lived.
Now, the time has come to do what you have always meant to do: have a book written about you and your life’s journey. A highly qualified, multiple‑time published author will be assigned to your project, supported by a small team that takes great pride in being friendly, patient, and professional in every respect.
Together, we will work closely with you, seeking your input throughout the entire process so that every chapter feels unmistakably yours.
The Book About Your Life
Imagine this scene: across the room, near the window, you notice a beautifully designed book. You pick it up and realize it is the story of your life. Your family and friends cannot wait to read it. The stories, lessons, and wisdom inside will be passed down for generations.
You have created a legacy. You have achieved a dream that once felt out of reach. Now your life has been fully documented—thoughtfully, respectfully, and forever.
Comments From Our Clients
“Our book is beautiful. I am so proud of our story. My friends and family have all read it. I enjoyed every minute with our author—he has become like a brother to me. Thanks so much.”
Ann N., Lebanon, Ohio
“My mother donated a lot of money to our church when she passed away. Two years later, there was no sign of her gift. I wish we would have spent some of that money on her ‘Life Story.’ We did not make the same mistake with our father. He was in tears when he saw his book.”
Marty B., Cincinnati, Ohio
“Our story was well researched and perfectly written. Every one of our employees has contributed to our success. We thank them and we thank you, Michael. Oxford. Washington.”
Sandy B., Anderson, South Carolina
“Mr. Michael worked with us for many weeks. It was better than advertised. All things considered, what a bargain—although money should not be a consideration when it comes to something like this.”
Caroline W., U.P., Michigan
“Mom and Dad send many thanks to you!!!!!”
Lavon C., Columbus, Ohio
