The Memoir Master & Platform Builder Packages

 
 

Is this you?

I want to inspire and help others with my professional or personal experience.

I want my book to be on the shelves and e-readers within months—not years. I don’t necessarily have the time to sweat in front of an empty page.

I want a full-service, done-for-me ghostwriting, and publishing experience of the utmost quality and craftsmanship—that works with my schedule.

The Memoir Master & Platform Builder Project ensures you own 100% of the rights to your story or Big Idea and keep all of your royalties—forever. That’s passive income for you and your family for eternity. Not to mention, our streamlined process gets your books on shelves within months—not years.

You Could Do It Yourself…

However, with DIY self-publishing, you’ll need to hire the following:

  • Ghostwriter

  • Developmental Editor

  • Line Editor

  • Blurb Copywriter

  • Proofreader

  • Book Cover Designer

  • Book Interior Designer

  • Kindle Formatter

  • Book PR Expert

  • Book Digital Marketing Specialist

You’d also need to negotiate contract terms, oversee the work, and ensure you’ve made the right hire for each role. 

The Story Science Process

I’ve been a ghostwriter for over fifteen years and thus far… I’ve written and edited books for professional athletes, self-help leaders, teachers, investors, CEOs, and other highly accomplished brand personalities. I’ve ghostwritten memoirs and nonfiction books and even helped edit a few bestselling thrillers you may have seen in airport bookstores.

As a memoir and business ghostwriter, my strength is helping people find the key lessons, magic, and humor in their lives and professional stories. Those stories often dovetail with more practical topics: for example, I’ve helped CEOs share their experience in business by pulling from stories of their own lives. When we view information through the lens of story, it’s more easily digestible. That’s why even with more traditional nonfiction books I recommend starting with the building blocks of story.

  • Phase 1: Story Elements - collaborative online sessions

  • Phase 2: Story Structure - collaborative online sessions

  • The Draft - asynchronous writing, reviewing, and editing

  • Proof & Polish - team beta read with fresh eyes

  • Go-to-Market Plan - If self-publishing, this includes cover design, interior layout, Kindle formatting, and a book marketing strategy for optimizing sales. If going the traditional path, this would involve query guidance and platform strategy.

How long does the process take?

I can complete your book within two to three months if you can make yourself available to answer my questions on a weekly basis.

Client Testimonial

"Alisa's contribution was the invaluable gift my book desperately needed. Although I had completed a draft of my memoir, it lacked the resonant voice and emotional depth to truly captivate readers. With her remarkable talent, Alisa swiftly identified the authentic essence of my narrative voice and uncovered the profound undercurrents at work throughout my story. Her rewritten outline left me deeply moved, for it encapsulated the very soul of my memoir – the embodied vision I had longed to bring to life on the page.

— KIM, FOUNDER & CEO

Alisa's work ethic is unwavering; she meets every deadline with professionalism and grace. Yet, what truly sets her apart is her exceptional ability to inhabit the heart of a story, aligning her craft with the author's deepest intentions. The investment in her services proved invaluable, for she imbued my memoir with the authentic emotion and resonance it deserved. Alisa is a rare talent, a true pleasure to collaborate with, and an invaluable asset to any author seeking to elevate their work to new heights."

— DAVID, VENTURE CAPITALIST

“Alisa is an exceptional professional who consistently exceeds expectations. Her profound insights, masterful writing abilities, extensive experience, utmost professionalism, and boundless creativity were invaluable assets to my project. Her feedback was tremendously helpful, and I wish there was a rating higher than five stars to adequately recognize her outstanding contributions. Without a doubt, I would eagerly hire Alisa again for any future endeavor.”

—MATTHEW, GLOBAL FINTECH FOUNDER

How much does it cost?

My rate is $100,000, which includes all aspects of the research, writing, marketing, and publishing process. During these three months, I’ll carefully craft your manuscript with you and handle all aspects of the design and publishing of your book or, if desired, guide you through the query process.

If you’d like me to write the book and not publish it for you, my current rate is $750 per hour, and the total cost depends on the length and complexity of your manuscript.
