Memoirs For You Publishing

“The professional and artistic efforts of Memoirs For You Publishing in producing my father’s memoirs have been incredible! My kids love exploring their family history through the book and find it very user-friendly. Dad is very enthusiastic about sharing information from the memoirs with friends and family alike. The memoirs are a perfect way for tracing one’s roots and it is comforting to think that each of our children will be able to share their copy with future generations.”

We commissioned Memoirs For You Publishing to write a biography for our mother’s 80th birthday. Sydney Pilcer was very sensitive and patient with conducting interviews over time and drawing out all the details of her life. He was meticulous in researching historical details

“I already knew what incredible people Mum and Dad were, but my children have only a few memories of them. Memoirs For You Publishing has brought them to life on paper in the most compelling way—when we read their biography, we hear their powerful personalities coming through on every page. In blending Mum and Dad’s own photos with historical maps and newspaper clippings, Sydney Pilcer has painted a truly comprehensive picture of their eventful and loving lives. This is the second memoir book we have had Sydney write for us, and as per the first, he has guided us through the process of creating the book in a relaxed and highly professional manner. If you’re looking for a beautiful visual record of a loved one, I would highly recommend Memoirs For You Publishing.”

You will reach a chapter in your life and ask yourself, what was this journey all about". While most of us want to make sure our family is provided for when we're gone

“My parents came from Egypt, and I always found their family stories so very interesting. Whenever Dad would share an anecdote with me, I would ask him to write it down as I wanted a record of his rich and varied memories. He had a go at writing these anecdotes down himself, but it wasn’t easy to encapsulate it all, and do it in some sort of chronological order. That’s when I engaged Memoirs For You Publishing to help us out. Sydney Pilcer interviewed my parents, patiently listening to their stories, and then documented a wonderful memoir of Mum and Dad that can be passed down for generations. I found Sydney to be professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He’s an expert at working with older people and ensuring their stories are articulated well so that they can be preserved. I highly recommend Memoirs For You Publishing to anyone who needs an excellent author to document a loved one’s history.”

My sister and I engaged Memoirs For You to write my father’s memoir as an 80th birthday gift. It was an extremely rewarding enterprise, for my dad and for my whole family. Sydney Pilcer assembled information gathered from many interviews with my father, along with his own historical research, and created a book that is a wonderful testament to my father’s life and legacy. Sydney put a great deal of care and thought into every aspect of the book, from the interviews and photos to the design and layout of the finished product. We were all very happy with the result.

“The memoir that Memoirs For You Publishing has created is truly amazing! Sydney Pilcer had the vision to produce a memoir that captures the essence of Mum’s life, showing such attention to minute details of layered images, texts and captions—and under extreme time-pressure as well. We have experienced so much joy and delight, tears and memories from the book. Sydney Pilcer managed an extraordinary writing in creating a dialogue between the reader and my mother, interwoven with the historical factual narrative along the way …fantastic! It has been a real pleasure to share with Sydney the process of the pages unfolding.”
