memoir, life story & personal diary typing services
Preserving your memories in print is a deeply personal project. Whether you are writing a family history, compiling a personal experience or life event, or preserving loved ones' journals, I offer a dedicated memoir typing service tailored to your exact needs. I can type life stories, personal accounts, and personal diaries from handwritten notebooks, loose pages, roughly typed drafts, or printed books. I can also transcribe from digital audio files, which is particularly useful for those who are visually impaired or who simply want to speak their story rather than writing by hand. Once you have your finished document, you can choose to share/publish it publicly or send copies to friends and family.
Every project is handled personally by me in the UK - your work is never outsourced, and no AI software is used. I treat your words with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality at every stage.
what my life story & diary typing service includes
Thorough Proofreading & Verification: As a matter of course, I correct spelling, punctuation, and grammatical sense. I also verify (where possible) the spellings of historical people, landmarks, and place names using reputable online sources.
Handwritten Edits & Annotations: If you have an existing manuscript with handwritten changes, margin notes, or corrections, I can seamlessly incorporate these into the final document.
Clear Communication: Before we begin, I will ask to see a few sample pages of any handwritten materials to ensure I can read the handwriting clearly and accurately.
rates, timescales & free quotations
Because every personal history is unique, my rates depend on the nature and legibility of your source material, while timescales depend on the overall size of your project. Please get in touch to discuss your manuscript or to request a free, no-obligation tailored quotation. Call 0770 60 80 180, or e-mail enquiry@brightva.co.uk. Ask for Amanda.
