FOR MEMOIR AUTHORS
Write your memoir from memories, voice notes and life stories.
Tell your story. Include the moments, people, places and turning points you remember, and use Your Book Pro to shape them into a real printed book. Type, dictate, or upload - starting is free. Your memories do not need to arrive in perfect order. Shape your memoir with tools made for authors: editorial feedback, Beta Readers, whole-book proof reading, source and quotation checks, an AI footprint checker, a cover and back-cover blurb, and publishing and marketing advice. Just say the word.

Not sure where to begin?
The free Memoir Book Coach asks one question at a time and helps you discover and shape the book you actually want to write. No account needed, and it never writes the book for you.
You have lived something that matters.
A memoir often starts as fragments: a childhood place, a person you cannot forget, a turning point, a loss, a recovery, a journey, a lesson. Your Book Pro helps you begin with what you remember, then find the shape beneath it.
- “I do not know where to begin”
- “My memories are not in order”
- “I am worried it will sound flat”
- “I want it to mean something to my family or readers”
“It could become an invaluable tool for oral history compilers into the future.”
