A Life Story Book: The Ultimate Luxury Gift

We specialize in crafting bespoke biographies, often for prominent and accomplished individuals. 

What can you give your spouse, parent, or another loved one who seems to have everything they wish for? An heirloom life story book.

Our legacy books are a gift that keeps on giving: first to the subject, who enjoys the cathartic, pleasurable process, then to his or her children, grandchildren, and ultimately future generations. We capture memories with excellence, tending to the smallest of details and creating books our subjects are proud to share with their families and friends. In the process, we safeguard legacies, inspire future generations, and produce an enduring literary masterpiece. 

If your loved one holds high standards, entrust their life story to Raconteur. We have produced more than 80 books for extraordinary subjects and will not take the honor of preserving your loved one’s story lightly.

Here is what our past subjects or their families have to say:

 “The book is perfect. Thank you for your enthusiastic interest in my book and thank you for making my story for my family a reality.” -Lynn K., Washington State Representative
