Tell your story with biography & memoir self publishing

Have you dreamt of writing your own autobiography, or maybe a biography about someone who influenced or inspired you? Whatever your aspiration may be, self publishing a memoir is an incredibly personal journey — one that deserves to be professionally published and shared with the world.

When you publish a memoir with a traditional publisher, it comes at a price: Losing the rights to your work, and losing control over the final manuscript edit and cover design. But when you self publish your memoir with BookBaby, you'll retain full creative control of your manuscript.

Through Print On Demand book distribution, your memoir or biography can be sold worldwide through the largest global retailers. Plus, BookBaby provides every possible tool to help you self publish a biography book online. Whether you need professional book editing to fine-tune your personal narrative or you'd like to get a custom book cover design to attract new readers, we'll bring your story to life.
