Meet Howard Grahame: The Architect of Your Legacy

Combining the precision of an educator with the soul of a storyteller to preserve the histories of our community’s elders.

Howard Grahame, the founder of Memoirs For Life

A Unique Path to Storytelling

Howard Grahame is not your typical ghostwriter. He is a seasoned educator, entrepreneur, and published author of two books, bringing decades of leadership experience to Memoirs for Life LLC.

Before founding Memoirs for Life, Howard spent years in the United Kingdom teaching thousands of children the complexities of robotics and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). This background has given him a unique skill set that separates him from standard writers:

The Ability to Organize Complexity.

A life story, especially one spanning 70, 80, or 90 years, is filled with thousands of moving parts, dates, names, and milestones. Just as in robotics, every piece must fit perfectly to create a functioning whole. Howard applies this same structural discipline to your memoir, ensuring your story flows logically, chronologically, and beautifully.

A Commitment to Our Community
