Your Story Deserves to Be a Book
Some of the most powerful stories are true ones. If you or someone in your family lived through something worth remembering, I can write it as a real book and publish it on Amazon, with full credit to you.
Send Your StoryA True Story, Told With Care
What a Father Gives began this way. A man shared with me the true story of his father: a tailor with a failing heart who refused to leave his two young sons with nothing, an uncle who held the family together, and a seventeen-year-old boy who crossed the world to reach New York. Today that story is a published book that readers can hold in their hands.
Stories I Am Looking For
- A parent or grandparent whose sacrifice made your life possible
- A journey to a new country and the struggle to start over
- Surviving illness, loss, or hard times and finding a way forward
- Building something from nothing: a business, a family, a future
- A love story, a friendship, or a moment that changed everything
How It Works
1. Send your story. Email a short version to hello@vineyauthor.com. A few paragraphs is enough to start. It does not need to be perfect. Just tell it in your own words.
2. We talk. If the story is a good fit for a book, I will reply and we will talk about the details, the people, and the moments that matter most.
3. You give permission. Before any writing begins, we both sign a simple Story Release Form. It says in plain English that the story is true, that it is yours to share, how you want to be named, and how you will be credited.
4. I write the book. I turn your memories into a complete, carefully written book. You can read the story before it is published.
5. Your story is published. The book is released on Amazon with full credit to you, so your family can keep it and share it for years to come.
Your Privacy Comes First
- Real name or changed name: you choose. Names, places, and details can be changed to protect you and your family.
- Full credit: you will be credited in the book the way you want to be credited.
- Everything in writing: credit and any royalty arrangement are agreed in writing before the book is published.
- Nothing without your permission: your story is never published until you have signed the release form.
