You've Reached the Top!

You’ve led an extraordinary life, rich with achievement, insight, and transformation.

Now you want to share your story with intelligence, elegance, and lasting impact.

We are Barry Fox and Nadine Taylor, veteran ghostwriters trusted by founders, C-suite leaders, and other accomplished clients. Our work includes bestsellers recognized by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Amazon, as well as deeply private memoirs created solely for families and heirs.

We write your memoir — not AI.

Every book is crafted with precision, discretion, and profound respect for the life entrusted to us.

What Makes Our Memoirs Different

Many writers can capture words. Very few can capture a life.

A Taylor-Fox memoir is not simply a collection of stories. It is a work of legacy — a narrative that illuminates who you are, what shaped you, and what you want future generations to understand.

What sets us apart is our philosophy:

  • We begin with relationship, not deadlines.

  • We listen for the deeper themes, values, and worldviews beneath your stories.

  • We shape a narrative structure that reflects your voice and your vision.

  • We write with literary craftsmanship and absolute discretion.

The result is a memoir worthy of your life, one that will endure.

How the Process Works

Private Conversations

Every collaboration begins with conversation. We take the time to truly know you; your story, your values, and your voice.

Vision & Structure

Together, we explore the architecture of your book, its themes, rhythm, and flow.

We identify themes, pivotal turning points, values, and personal meaning.

Crafting the Manuscript

Following a series of recorded discussions, we begin the writing itself—line by line, chapter by chapter.

You’ll review early drafts of each chapter, offering insights and refinements as the work evolves into your story.

Refinement & Precision

We shape your narrative with clarity, depth, and literary quality.

Every manuscript undergoes multiple layers of editing to ensure clarity, tone, and elegance. Excellence is never left to chance.

Publication & Presentation

Your completed memoir is produced as private print, public print, or digital editions, ready to be passed down with purpose.

Is a Private Memoir Right for You?

A Taylor-Fox memoir is ideal if:

  • You want to preserve your life story for family, heirs, or successors.

  • You’ve reached a turning point: retirement, succession, philanthropy, or expansion.

  • You want to clarify meaning, values, or lessons shaped over decades.

  • You prefer deep collaboration, reflection, and discretion.

Not everyone is the right fit.

The best results come from clients who are reflective, candid, and ready to explore the deeper meaning of their lives.
