Art and Philanthropy

by Business BookMemoir

"I got. I read it. I love it… THANK YOU!!!!”

Laura B.

The client was a philanthropist, artist, and activist who had a charitable organization that helped the elderly and economically disadvantaged through art. She wanted a short book to present to donors and decision-makers that told her life story and described what she and her organization did and why. We spoke six hours by phone and we wrote the memoir/business hybrid, one of my favorite genres.

HR and People Ops

by Business BookMemoir

"…you were able to get into my mind and extract what I wanted to accomplish and articulate it in a well-thought-out, logical plan…I feel so fortunate having the privilege of working with someone with your work ethic and character…."

Jack W.

This book on employer branding and human resources in the new age details the author’s philosophy and his step-by-step method of hiring for the toughest jobs in the toughest climates. He wanted to do all the writing himself, so we talked through each chapter on Zoom, then traded chapters back-and-forth for revision.

Self-help and Personal Growth

by Business BookMemoir

" Yesterday was the cumulation of 3 days worth of coaching work all into one day - hectic! But your email was like a happy gift to keep me going through what was a rough day. I’m reading through, loving it...So thrilled to have you on the journey with me."

Carrie P.


This joyful book on how little things make big differences is a memoir, self-help, and philosophical guide all rolled into one. The author, a real estate agent and business coach, recently emailed me to let me know she'd just sold her 5,000th copy!

HR and Workplace Coaching

by Business BookMemoir

"I’m reading the final draft and am in tears for reaching near completion of this journey. Thank you for taking the ride with me, helping me put into words what I couldn’t and guiding me through my inner truth."

Tammy J.

The author runs a thriving leadership consultancy that helps workplaces diagnose and fix their teams. In the spirit of Brené Brown, this book argues that what happens in our personal lives carries over into the workplace and offers solutions for dealing with the fallout. We wrote a 25,000-word version of the book together based on ten hours of interviews, then the author took that manuscript and expanded it into a full-length book.

Physician Memoir

by Business BookMemoir

“Working with you has been an unmitigated pleasure. You asked the right questions…and then did a beautiful job…It gave me so much to work with…Without you there is no way I could have gotten this book done. I really hope others who want to get their memoirs and thoughts into a book have the gift of using your services.”

Dr. Herzl S.

The client was a multi-published author and very busy doctor who wanted to write a memoir that highlighted his life’s work as a doctor, activist, father, and grandfather. He wanted to include political, social, religious, and philosophical points of view. We conducted ten hours of telephone interviews and agreed on a preliminary outline. I wrote the first draft of about 25,000 words which he published as a small keep-sake book for his family and friends. He then took that short manuscript and expanded it himself into a full-length book for a more general audience that he published with Balboa Press.

Entrepreneur Memoir

by Memoir

“I have tremendous gratitude to Diana, who put her heart into my memoir, guided me with love and patience, helping me sort out my emotions, bring out the innocence of my youth, formulate my thoughts, and capture the real-life moments.”

Laya M

The client was an entrepreneur and IT executive. She had hired a ghostwriter to write her memoir, but the work she got back was not at all what she had envisioned. The pages were dull and they didn’t sound like her voice at all. We used that manuscript as a basis for 40+ hours of in-person interviews. Then, chapter-by-chapter, we revised together, passing documents back and forth by email. Sometimes, we sat together for hours at the computer to find the exact words to convey her thoughts and relay her emotions. We worked collaboratively for three years (yes, really!) to craft a manuscript that got her a major New York agent and we placed a fully-illustrated essay in The Boston Globe Magazine

Leadership and Management

by Business Book

"You did a great job in capturing my story. Thank you."

Dr. Charles R.

The author is a successful Fortune 500 businessman and an ordained minister. He wanted his book to include aspects of memoir but to be focused on spiritual advice and especially servant leadership theory. We conducted 14 hours of telephone interviews and finished the book in three months so he would have it available for his speaking engagements.

Public Service and Philanthropy

by Memoir

"This made me so happy it brought me to tears. It sounds just like her! It sounds just like her talking to me sitting in her parlor with all of her papers everywhere…wow! I am at my desk at work in tears….thank you so much for this…wow!

Nevel S, granddaughter of profiled "hero" Opal L.

The goal of this book was to celebrate the life and work of the “ordinary” people on the front lines of the battle against COVID-19. We did the interviews over Zoom, then wrote a profile of each person featured. It’s a great example of how multiple stories can be woven together to paint a cohesive, evocative, and emotional whole. The company used it as a PR piece and fundraiser.
