The Biography-Writing Process
Interviews & Research
This is where the foundation of your subject’s life story is laid through investigation of the subject’s life, accomplishments, and experiences. Through extensive interviews with the subject or their close associates, as well as in-depth research into relevant historical contexts and sources, we gather the raw materials. This process requires a deep commitment to uncovering the essential details, anecdotes, and insights that will bring your subject to life on the page. It’s not just about collecting facts; it’s about capturing the essence of the person.
Manuscript & Revisions
Here, we transform the raw data into a cohesive and compelling narrative. This stage involves crafting the biography structure, selecting key events, and weaving them into a compelling story that engages and informs your readers. It’s also the time for meticulous writing, editing, and revising. The manuscript will likely go through multiple iterations as you refine the prose, style, and pacing. The goal is to create a polished manuscript that does justice to the subject’s life while making it accessible and engaging for your target audience.
Quality Assurance & Production
In this final phase, your manuscript is thoroughly reviewed for accuracy, consistency, and quality. Fact-checking and verification are paramount to ensure that the biography is a reliable and authentic. We’ll focus on the production aspects, such as formatting, layout, and cover design. Finally, we’ll take care of the publication logistics, ensuring our work in creating the biography is presented in its best possible form to the world.
We tailor the timeline of the research and writing process to your needs. If desired, you can have a finished product in as little as two months.
