Memoir Editing Fee

Our fee is $95/hour for manuscript editing, coaching, ghostwriting, and telephone consultations for professional memoirs.

There is no charge (editing fee) for the two introductory consultations by phone. The first of the two complimentary consultations is with Denis Ledoux who will—if you choose to continue—then point you to a specific memoir professional best suited to your needs. You will then have a second complimentary consultation with this professional.

After the complimentary consultations, you proceed to a trial three-hour billable package before moving on to a regular relationship with your editor/coach/ghostwriter.

How you pay is your choice. You can pre-pay by check or PayPal or you can leave a credit card number on file.

How long does it take to create a manuscript?

The time required to produce a manuscript is hard—perhaps impossible—to predict. An memoir professional may move quickly through one excerpt submission of a book manuscript and then have to plod through another submission from the same memoir manuscript.

The Family Package with Bonus

The Family Package includes French Boy and We Were Not Spoiled—both good reads in themselves and together they are a dynamite addition to anyone’s bookshelf. The link will send you to Amazon [I know, not exactly small business but they are the printers and distributors of these books] so we can’t give you a discount per se but we can offer you the e-versions to both books for free in lieu of a discount. Just send us the receipt of your purchases and we will expedite the e-books.

A writing coach can help you at every step of the process. Having “been there and done that”—and being able to talk clearly about it, a memoir-writing coach can point you in the right direction and gently correct your course.

A coach is a teacher, a cheerleader, a critic, a motivator, a writing buddy, a person who holds you accountable for meeting your goals, a good listener, and sometimes an editor—and a coach can be more if you need more.

Why is this so?

Sometimes a writer has sent in a story he has told many times and the writing is already honed.
On the negative side, perhaps a writer has sent in a piece of writing too early in the process and the editor is working with copy that really needed reworking before submission.
Or, the reason can be something else entirely.

That’s why we cannot promise you we can read a fixed number of pages per hour but we can promise you that we will work appropriately to deliver you the quality memoir you have a right to receive from us.

Are you ready to work with a memoir professional?

Ask for an initial complimentary session to assess your needs and the suitability of The Memoir Network to help you succeed. All initial complimentary sessions are with Denis Ledoux. You will then be assigned to a second complimentary session with a specific team member.

We offer a billable introductory package—try us with a three-hour commitment. That’s it: three hours! If we’re a fit, you ask us for more time. If we’re not a fit, we go our separate ways. Our trial package is $285.
