Give the book of a lifetime
The book takes six weeks. The gift doesn't: we ship a box with a printed certificate, and that gets unwrapped straight away.
How it works
- 1Choose a plan and complete the purchase: you receive a redemption code valid for 24 months.
- 2Within 48 hours we ship a box with the printed certificate, to put under the tree or hand over in person.
- 3When the person is ready, they redeem the code and begin the first chapter. No deadline rushing anyone.
The price is identical to an ordinary purchase: there is no gift surcharge.
What it costs
A ghostwritten memoir runs from $18,000 to $42,000. This is the same craft, done in six weeks.
