Writing is easy – you just open up a vein and bleed. 
​- Red Smith

​Now that I have written and published my life story, I can do the same for you.
Are you interested in producing a book to publish for widespread distribution or pass on to family and friends? I can help from start to finish.
As a former journalist and skilled interviewer, I can record your story and write it for you. I also have the experience to turn the manuscript into a finished book, whether you want to make it available for sale around the world, or simply print and purchase copies to give to family and friends.
Have you already written or started a book that needs to be organized and polished? I can do that for you as well.
In any case, I can work for you as a ghostwriter with no credit, or as a co-author, with the cover noting “as told to Ken Becker” or “with Ken Becker.”
And, while I specialize in memoirs and other non-fiction, I can also help smooth out the rough edges of a novel. (No academic or technical papers, please.)

If you are not up to a book project and still want to tell your story, I will apply the same care and professional skills to a newspaper/magazine-style profile touching the most memorable episodes of your life.

Advance obits
Since most of us don’t rate a proper newspaper obituary, let me provide an alternative to the boilerplate notices assembled by funeral directors.
