Private Memoir Publishing Services For Authors

editing · translating · scanning · proofreading
book design · formatting · printing · binding

MODERN MEMOIRS provides a full range of pre-press memoir publishing services for your manuscript, including professional editing and proofreading, custom design, and high-quality page formatting. You can take charge of the printing of your manuscript or have us handle it for you. We strongly recommend offset printing over digital print-outs, and hard-cover, sewn bindings over glued bindings for quantities of 100 or more because the books look much better and last decades longer. We also work with art binderies for handbound books. We match your needs with the best producers we know, favoring local businesses with whom we have long-term relationships.

MODERN MEMOIRS also handles copyright, Library of Congress, CIP registrations, and ISBN numbering, if requested. Clients can utilize any part of our full service.

Of special interest to us

  • literary novels
  • collections of poems, essays, short stories, or letters of correspondence
  • memoirs
  • family histories
If editing, formatting, and working with printers looks, when you start to get upclose and personal, like a wasps’ nest you’d rather avoid, contract selected services to MODERN MEMOIRS, INC.
