Presidents get biographers. Now you do too.
Tell me about the old stories, or what you did this morning. I'll write your life story and hand you the book.
Free to use. No card needed.
Join 10,000 other people who are working with their personal biographers.
Type or talk, whichever you like. I remember what you've told me, so every conversation gets a little more personal. Then I write it into a story you can keep.
What did your mother teach you to cook first?
It all started with rice. She was very serious about her rice.
But what made her version so different?
She had this whole process yet she never measured anything.
Did she ever teach you her method?
Biographer is saying this out loud
The story I write
My mother was very serious about her rice. She had a whole process, and in all the years I watched her, she never once measured anything.
When I asked her to teach me, she said, “Just watch.” So I watched. That is still how I make it.
It's for the past and the present, out loud or by text.
The street, the neighbors, the room you shared with your sister.
That career decision that changed everything.
What your granddaughter said at dinner. The call from your son this morning.
Your stories can take many forms. Keep them, share them, or pass them on.
Printed hardcover from $39
Every story you tell goes into your book. Order it printed whenever you're ready, and we ship it to you.
A children's book for the grandkids
Everyone in your story, redrawn as animals.
A comic
Drawn pages, with captions and dialogue from one of your stories.
Songs, podcasts and audiobooks
An original song, a short podcast, or your stories read aloud in your own voice.
These examples were made by Biographer from the stories of Anita Ferrante, a made-up storyteller we use for testing.

What it costs
As reported in The Wall Street Journal
Families hire memoir writers to interview someone they love and write the book. We do the same work for free, and a printed hardcover starts at $39.
Free
No subscription, no trial, no card.
You pay only for what you make
| Private memoir writer | Biographer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Up to $100,000 | Free |
| Interviews | Booked sessions on their calendar | Any time, day or night, as often as you like |
| Writing | Drafts arrive after the interviews wrap up | A written story after each conversation |
| The book | Printing often costs extra | A printed hardcover with your photos, from $39 |
| After the book | The project ends | Keep talking. Your stories can become more. |
Families commonly pay $35,000 to $100,000, as reported in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
Everything you tell your biographer can become a song, a podcast, a comic, a children's book, an audio story in your own voice, or an audiobook. Each one shows its price before you make it.
My dad used Biographer before he passed away this year. My family has his stories forever.
