The Voice of History

A biography or memoir tells the story of a life. It is far more than just a collection of facts and events. The life story reveals the essential character of a person. It tells the story of psychological complexity, of important life decisions, of what makes a person fascinating.

We write those biographies.

We create the personal memoirs.

We preserve life and history through stories.


A well-written biography, autobiography, or memoir truly lasts forever. It is passed from one generation to the next so memories are never forgotten. It is an investment that gains in value with each new generation.


Do you remember your father's amazing stories growing up during the 40s and 50s?

Do you remember all your mother's stories of raising a family when times weren't so good?

Do you remember all your wife's stories of when she was a little girl?

Do you remember all your husband's stories of how he was raised?

Most importantly, will your children or grandchildren remember? Will your future generations remember?

Give the gift of their biography so the stories are there for your kids, your grandkids, and generations on in history.

Writing a Memoir for You or Someone Else?

We will be offering classes on how to do just that (in the Boca Raton, Florida area).

"My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. We're creating a timeline and audio interviews of his life. The Biography Workshop's life lists have been amazingly useful as he remembers the important moments of his life. Bringing back such memories has been wonderfully therapeutic for us both."
