Living Legend is a service that makes writing your autobiography super simple.

First we split your story into more manageable pieces that we call micro-memoirs. Each micro-memoir is a self contained slice of your life. Think of it almost like a chapter in your autobiography.

Second we ghostwrite that micro-memoir for you. All you need to do is tell us your story over a Zoom call and we’ll do the rest.

Within a week of completing your interview, you’ll get a beautifully crafted micro-memoir as a PDF that’s easy to share.

In addition to that, you’ll also get a physical booklet sent to you a few days after that.

Once you’ve completed five micro-memoirs with us, we’ll bind them into a hard cover book for you. Think of this as volume one in your autobiography.

A micro-memoir is a standalone part of your life’s story. Think of it almost like a chapter in your autobiography.

One micro-memoir might focus on particular period of your life like your college years while another might focus on something that spans many years like a relationship or a career.

Together, this collection of micro-memoirs forms your life’s story and you can think of them as your autobiography.

Once you complete five micro-memoirs, we’ll bind them together for you in a hard cover book.

A micro-memoir is like a chapter in your autobiography, so you can expect it to be anywhere between 10 and 20 pages in a typical book. This works out to be somewhere between 4,000 and 7,000 words. It all depends on how involved your story is and how many stories / anecdotes you share with us during the interview.

The typical micro-memoir is around 4,000 - 5,000 words.

First you’ll get our undivided attention over a 1-2 hour Zoom call where we’ll interview you about the particular topic you’ve chosen.

Second, within one week of your interview, you’ll receive a beautifully typeset chapter of your autobiography as a sharable PDF.

A few days after that, we’ll send you a physical copy of your micro-memoir as a booklet.

Once you’ve completed five micro-memoirs, we will also print a hard cover book for you free of charge. Think of it as the first volume in your autobiography.

Each micro-memoir comes with one physical copy as a booklet. If you want more, let us know and we’ll print them for you at a reasonable price.

Once you’ve completed five micro-memoirs, we’ll bind them together into a beautifully bound hard cover book free of charge. Again, if you want more than one copy, let us know and we’ll print those too (again at a reasonable price)

The purpose of Living Legend is to make it as easy as possible for someone to create their autobiography.

This means that the only thing you need to do is tell us your story. We’ll talk to you virtually (either via Zoom or the phone) to get as many anecdotes, events, and details as possible.

After that your job is done!

We’ll get to work crafting your story based on what we learned during the interview and send it to you within a week.

We’re not a publishing house, but we’re happy to help you self-publish your story. If you’re interested in self-publishing, feel free to reach out, and we can guide you through the process. When you self-publish through us, you keep all royalties—our goal is simply to help you tell your story the way you want it told, without taking a share of your earnings.

You do! We do not want any rights to any of your stories. We just want to help you tell your story the way you want it told, nothing else.

From the moment your interview is complete, you can expect to receive your micro-memoir as a PDF within one week. The physical booklet will arrive shortly after that (the exact timeline for that depends on printing and shipping details).

The overall timeline from start to finish depends on how quickly you complete your intake form and schedule your interview. In the best-case scenario, it could be just a few days from purchase to your interview, allowing us to start crafting your chapter right away.

A typical interview will last between one and two hours and will be conducted via Zoom. If you prefer to speak over the phone instead, we can also accommodate that.

Preparation isn’t required, but it can enhance your interview. To get the most out of the experience, it’s helpful to come with a story in mind, some key anecdotes, or specific memories you’d like to share. While we’ll guide you and help uncover your story, a bit of preparation can make the final chapter even richer.

No problem! If you remember something important after your interview, just let us know. We can schedule a quick 10-15min follow-up call to fill in any missing details.

We want your chapter to be as complete and accurate as possible.

Absolutely! Nothing makes a chapter of your autobiography feel more genuine than personal / family photos! Just let us know which images you’d like to include and we’ll add additional pages at the end of your chapters with the images.

Included with each micro-memoir is one complimentary revision. Once you receive it, take a close look and let us know what you think. If there’s anything we missed, got wrong, or could improve, we’d love to hear your feedback so we can make it just right. Our goal is for you to be proud and happy with the final result, and we’ll do everything we can to make it perfect for you.

If you’re unsure where to begin, you’re not alone—this is a common question! With so many stories to tell, choosing the first chapter can feel overwhelming.

We suggest starting with your childhood and adolescence. These early years shape who we are and provide a natural starting point, setting the stage for future chapters in your story.

Yes, you can absolutely gift Living Legend to someone else. Whether you’re buying it for yourself or for someone else, the process is the same: purchase a micro-memoir right here on yourlivinglegend.com, and when we follow up, just let us know it’s a gift. We’ll take care of the rest!

At Living Legend, we believe everyone has a story to tell, no matter their age.

Many people later in life look back and realize they have meaningful stories and insights they've never fully shared with loved ones. But Living Legend isn’t just for older adults. We envision a future where anyone can capture their life experiences as they unfold, almost like an occasional diary. At the end of a particularly impactful year, for example, you might want to reflect on what you've learned and how you've grown—and turn those reflections into a lasting chapter.

The number of micro-memoirs is entirely up to you and depends on how complete and detailed you'd like your story to be. With Living Legend there’s no minimum or maximum, it’s completely up to you!

You’re welcome to start with just one—there’s no commitment to purchase more. However, we believe that once you see the impact of one micro-memoir, you will want to continue building your autobiography. Typically, a full autobiography includes anywhere from 5 to 20 chapters, with 10 being a common choice. But again, you can start with one and decide from there.

Not at all! Start with one and go from there. You can do one per year or one per week, or stop after your first one — it’s completely up to you.

We offer a 100% money back guarantee. First, if you’re not completely happy we will do everything we can to make it right.

If, for some reason, you’re still not completely happy with the result we will give you your money back, guaranteed.

Yes! In fact, we try our best to ensure that the same interviewer sticks with you for the duration of your autobiography. That way they’re already familiar with your backstory when you come back for future micro-memoirs.

No problem! Just let us know and we’ll chat over the phone instead.

Currently, we’re focused on English speakers, but we’re working to expand our team to support other languages. If English-only is a dealbreaker for you, feel free to reach out—we’ll do our best to accommodate, though we can’t make any guarantees just yet!
