Obviously, publishing a person's life story takes alot of work; it takes months of researching, writing, collecting, and editing before we get to the printing stage. The costs involved to write this type of book are as follows:

• Storybook biography (50-100 pages): $5000-$10 000 CDN

• Personal biography (one person - 125 - 200 pages): $15 000 CDN

• Personal biography (multiple people - 200-400 pages): +$5000 CDN per extra person

• Corporate biography: $25 000 to $40 000 (depending on the depth and details available)

For more details on each type biography, see the Products and Previews page.

These prices are based on the costs established by the Writer's Union of Canada.
