Retirement Years Biography Writer
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I’m looking for a skilled biographer to turn a collection of notes, photos, and recorded interviews into a polished narrative that focuses solely on the subject’s retirement years. The goal is to capture this season of life in a way that feels intimate yet universally relatable—showing how the past career intersects with new hobbies, reflections, and milestones that emerged after stepping away from work.
You will receive raw material — audio conversations, handwritten memories, and a timeline of key dates. From there, I’d like you to structure a cohesive storyline, handle light fact-checking where needed, and present a cleanly edited manuscript ready for layout or printing. Final length and format can be discussed, but it should read smoothly as a standalone section of a larger life story.
Please be comfortable shaping a narrative arc from fragmented sources, preserving the subject’s voice, and suggesting where additional detail would strengthen the story. If you have experience weaving in themes such as travel, late-life personal achievements, or evolving family dynamics, let me know—any of these may become focal points once we refine the outline together.
Deliverables
• Draft manuscript of the retirement-years biography
• One round of revisions after my review
• Source list or footnotes for any external references you include
If this fits your style and schedule, tell me about a comparable project you’ve completed and your estimated turnaround time.
