About OurGlass
OurGlass is a biographical ghostwriting service. We write and produce books that tell the stories of their subjects.
Our books are professionally written and expertly designed. We can’t promise you a New York Times best seller, but we take the job of chronicling cherished memories seriously.
OurGlass begins every project with a blank page. We don’t use pre-written templates and send no ‘fill in the blank’ style emails. Every word in every finished product is uniquely written for that story.
Why write a book about your life?
Because you’ll fill it with moments that might otherwise be lost forever. You’ll answer future questions that nobody else - not even the internet - can provide.
And because we think you’ll enjoy it.
Is OurGlass right for me?
Life story services fall in two categories:
Standardized apps or templates that provide a series of questions or prompts, collect photos, and then compile books based on the submitted responses
Individual writers who create custom books based on interviews and photos gathered from the subjects
OurGlass is the second option. Our typical stories are at least ten thousand words (about fifty pages with pictures included), and many are much longer.
Hiring OurGlass means hiring a professional partner. We are more available, adaptable, and intuitive than a format that restricts your responses to a set number of characters.
If cost is the determining factor, the template option may be more attractive.
