Who We’ve Helped

the-nobel-peace-prize-UPSCALED.png

My career as a doctor and anti-landmine activist has taken me all over the world, from refugee camps on the Thai–Cambodian border to Nigerian villages to Oslo for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. I’ve worked with a number of international organizations to bring health care to underserved regions, advocate for banning landmines, and even evaluate a former Georgian president for torture. When I wanted to add structure to my story so I could have a professional, polished way to share the details of my life and career with my family, friends, and descendants, I turned to Luke and the rest of the MemoirGhostwriting.com team. They were exactly what I was looking for, asking insightful questions, confirming details with me, and writing my story to ensure it’s clear and engaging for those who come after me.

  • Board member or advisor for the American Fracture Association, Capitol Hill Hospitals, the Fogarty International Center of the NIH, and Refugees International

As a venture capitalist and someone who prides himself on being a good judge of character, I’m careful about the people I choose to work with. I selected Luke and the MemoirGhostwriting.com team to capture my story because of their exceptional professionalism, sensitivity, and expertise, and they did a wonderful job of retelling my life beyond the business world. The team dug deep and articulated my journey in a personal and—at times—profound way. The interviews were an absolute joy, and I’m thrilled with the work they produced. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to preserve their legacy.

Over my many years serving with the NYPD and helping keep inner city kids out of trouble through basketball and baseball, I’ve built up a big collection of stories, including working on the NYPD arson/explosion squad and traveling the world as the head of security and logistics for Major League Baseball. I was looking for a way to share all my best stories with my friends and family in a timeless way that even my great-great-grandchildren will be able to enjoy, and MemoirGhostwriting.com’s services were perfect. Anthony was a kind, friendly interviewer, and the rest of the MemoirGhostwriting.com team was professional and deliberate in capturing details, delivering a polished product that tells my story. My name is the most important thing I have, and this will allow me to preserve it long after I’m gone.

When I set out on a climb on the 14,000-foot Mount Shasta in Northern California on September 26, 2020, I didn’t think that my life was about to change dramatically. At an elevation of about 11,000 feet, I fell, breaking my femur, back, leg, and ankle. For what felt like ages, I huddled there wondering if I’d survive. I was ultimately rescued by a search and rescue team that spotted my headlamp and airlifted my battered body off the mountain. But that was only the start of my journey to recovery.

 

My story is one of miracles, perseverance, and trusting in God. Hannah and Luke were my angels in the journey of telling my story.

 

When I finished reading the first draft of my book, I was in tears, I was in love. It was perfect. I could not have been happier with the outcome, even though I was just looking at the first draft.


This process was everything I dreamed of.

—Chelsey Klein

Working with Luke’s team to produce my best-selling sales book was an incredible experience. From our very first interviews, they captured my vision and helped shape it into a book that’ll stand the test of time. When I wanted to make some major additions to the content of the book, they worked with me seamlessly to create a stronger version of my manuscript. They integrated screenshots of my software, Brevity, into the narrative in a way that feels natural and compelling, helping showcase our software in a way that supports the key messages while not being overtly salesy.

 

MemoirGhostwriting.com handled everything from developmental editing and copyediting to formatting, cover design, and preparing marketing materials like my author bio and Amazon description. Luke also introduced me to outstanding marketing and audiobook production professionals to bring the book to a wider audience.

 

The team’s attention to detail extended to every part of the process, including proofreading, getting testimonials for the back cover approved, and coordinating print and eBook releases. Thanks to their expertise and support, my book, The Sales Trap Prevention Playbook, not only came to life exactly as I envisioned but also went on to become the #1 new release in “Sales & Selling” on Amazon, earning an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars across 35+ reviews. I’ll leverage this for years to get on stages and podcasts and grow my sales training software business. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother, more professional experience.

Having coached and mentored many world-class tennis stars, I have no greater passion in life than helping to grow the talents of young people. For 30 years, I’ve run a tennis academy to teach kids the game, but of course, my academy can only take on so many students at once. With my book, I wanted to help parents recognize talent in their children and create effective and sensible paths toward greatness. The team at MemoirGhostwriting.com made this possible and I’m very happy with the outcome of our collaboration. Alex’s interviews were thoughtful and thorough, Alyssa elegantly organized and captured all my anecdotes and experiences in a detailed book, and Luke oversaw the whole project with the competence of a true leader and great communicator. Thanks to MemoirGhostwriting.com, I can help grow talent of all kinds far beyond the physical limitations of my academy.

Working with Luke’s team was a game-changer. Though I came to them with a draft of my book, they handled everything from there. From editing to formatting and launch prep, they took care of every step with expertise and care. They managed ISBNs, coordinated cover designs across platforms, and even prepared my Amazon and IngramSpark listings seamlessly. I especially appreciated the thoughtful editing and responsiveness throughout the process. They brought my vision to life and made the publishing of my Amazon bestseller Apprenticeship Launch System: How to Start Apprenticeships without the Red Tape, Even If This Is New to You (+130 reviews, 5.0 stars) smooth and stress-free.

Luke and his team helped me and my sister, Kym, publish a book our mother wrote. Mom’s passing was sudden and left us devastated. She poured so much love into her book, which she wrote to preserve and pass along our family history and traditions, that we didn’t want to leave it unpublished.

 

The MemoirGhostwriting.com team’s approach to the project was kind and thoughtful. They helped us to preserve the spirit of Mom’s book during every step, from editing to cover design, by suggesting only changes and additions that align with Mom’s voice and vision. Luke and his team are awesome!
