My grandfather’s book is my most treasured belonging. It captures him perfectly and I can’t quite express the gratitude I feel. Thank you.
Your personal project manager will guide you through the entire process. A telephone scoping session, specially designed to understand your vision for the book, will enable us to determine every detail, from the structure and narrative style to the number of pages, interview sessions and even how many copies you would like.
Your project manager will also outlines the various options available to you, including having one of our celebrity photographers capture your portrait for the cover, before assigning an author best suited to you and the style of book ahead of the interviewing stage.
From Oscar winners and war heroes to superstar singers and titans of the business world, our interviewers have worked with some of the world’s most prolific individuals and are unique skilled to carefully and sensitively extract all the details needed to create a gripping and memorable read.
Putting you perfectly at ease, our informal (and confidential) chats can take place either in person, on the phone or by video call – whichever you’re most comfortable with.
Then our acclaimed ghostwriters – responsible for writing bestselling biographies – get to work transforming the transcript into a page-turner that perfectly captures your voice and character. A sample chapter will be sent for your approval, to ensure you’re happy with the tone before we continue with the manuscript.
We all know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but we just can’t help ourselves...
That’s why we use only the most talented and creative graphic designers in the business, to create beautiful books inside and out. When it comes to the perfect front cover, there are various options available. You can choose to pose for one of our celebrity photographers, either at a studio, your home or a scenic outdoor location, or alternatively you can supply your own imagery – perhaps one from your archives.
Maybe you’d prefer an illustration or bold graphic instead. Whatever you decide, we guide you every step of the journey.
This is where everything starts to take shape. With the manuscript and artwork now complete and approved, the entire project is given one final and very thorough going-over by our eagle-eyed production team.
With unique skills gathered over decades working on iconic newspapers and magazines, our professional proofreaders can spot a spelling mistake at 100 paces.
Then it’s off to the printers. Using high quality paper and the finest binding, whether hardback or paper, our publishing partners also put the finishing touches to texts by written by household names and destined for book shelves and bedside tables across the land.
And if it’s good enough for them…

Master Storytellers was founded by multi award-winning writer Nick Boulos. One of his greatest regrets is not learning more about the life of his late and much-loved grandmother. Hoping to help others avoid that same fate, he put together a stable of handpicked writers, editors, proofreaders and designers to create world class biographies. With decades of experience, our team has written bestselling books and worked with stars of stage and screen, Prime Ministers and some of the most successful people in the world. You can learn more about us here.

We always assign writers who are the best fit for both you and the project itself, based on their personality, experience, interests and writing style.
