Publish Memoir
Memoirs, printed right
Your story, in a book that feels like it has always existed. Memoir readers want a book that feels personal and lasting: 5.5×8.5 or 6×9, cream paper, a matte cover with one strong image. Many memoirs are bought as gifts for family, so a hardcover edition earns its keep.
Recommended specs
- 5.5×8.5 or 6×9 trim
- Paperback or hardcover
- 60lb cream uncoated interior
- Matte cover, 200–320 pages
What sells in memoir
- Open with a scene, not a birth date — memoir is a story, not a timeline.
- A short B&W photo section prints beautifully on cream stock.
- Order author copies early: memoirs sell best hand to hand at talks and reunions.
