Googled "how to get a book written & published" and Story Terrace came up. Have not been disappointed with the service I have received from start to finish. There were a couple of misunderstandings with my first interviews but these got rectified efficiently and Zoe & Alice have been extremely helpful in making my dream book become a reality.

Delighted to have at last written my story for my family! I frequently told my family that I'd like to write about my early life - so different from my own children's and grandchildren's. Realising that I perhaps never would, they signed me up with Book Terrace. I am so grateful that they did and that I have at last written my story before it's too late! It has been a most rewarding experience and everyone I have dealt with has been very pleasant, helpful and encouraging. Possibly unusually, I actually wanted to write it myself, with professional guidance. I probably did not make that clear enough from the start. My first (very lovely) writer was willing but not really at ease with what I needed. I would advise anyone wanting to use their own words to make it clear from the start before choosing a 'writer'. That is advice, in no way a criticis

From the introductory meeting to the final publication, the whole process was straightforward and professionally supported throughout. Due to close family bereavements, it was necessary to extend our deadline, and this was arranged with thoughtfulness and care. All amendments were quickly dealt with and appropriate advice provided throughout. If anyone is thinking of writing a book but not sure how to go about it, I would recommend speaking with Story Terrace and see if they can help … they certainly did with us!

I am pleased with the finished book. The editor, Martin McLauchlan, has been very helpful and supportive.

Cathartic experience I would never have been able to write the story of my son’s life without the care patience and support of Beverly who transcribed and Alice the editor. I would highly recommend StoryTerrace. Can’t thank them enough for making quite an emotional journey a really good experience.

13th Avenue : My Memoirs Correspondence between ourselves, the editor and senior writer was fluid, with guided assistance along every step of the way. The site is user friendly, and each step clearer explained.

Autobiography Ultimately we got an autobiography written for my father-in-law which is of great quality and will be cherished for generations. The entire process of writing such a book, especially for elderly person is not so easy (for lots of reasons). My main feedback to StoryTerrace would be to set better expectations for their clients. For example there is a limit to how well the ghost writer can edit the interviews - it needs someone with intimate knowledge of the person's life to really know how to properly edit, so in many ways it is a joint effort between between the ghost writer and the subject (or someone on the subject's behalf). However StoryTerrace are a professional company and are very polite and accepting of changes throughout the process. I would use them again.

Incredible life experience. A gift for life and a huge gift for my family. I found the experience therapeutic, my writer was the most kind and empathetic soul en the support with explanations and time management was hugely helpful(and needed!)
