Who had heard of Dr. Oz before he wrote his first book? As with most celebrity doctors, chefs, psychologists, commentators, analysts, pundits, candidates and others who are able to land their own television shows and build their media empires, it all started with a book. If your career or business plans include a launch to the next level, you need a book.

Your biography, memoir, business, inspirational or other book is important, and chances are, you have little or no experience writing a book or being published. Become an author, and get your book published. We have written many biographies, memoirs and other books, and have helped many of our clients to publish their books. Our clients are all anxious when the first call us, uncertain of what to expect during the writing and publishing process. When their project is completed they invariably thank us for our expertise and close attention to their needs, and for a successful authoring experience.

If you have a biography, memoir, inspirational, business or other book in mind, call us today to learn about how you can become an author.

What gift could you give someone that would mean more than a biography or memoir would? Jewelry—travel—car— they all pale in comparison to the heartfelt gift of recording a life well lived. Nothing conveys your admiration better than honoring someone you respect with a book about him or her. Spouse—parent—company director— who do you admire? Whose life would you like to honor in this highest form of respect?

The gift of recording a loved one’s life and having a book put into print is beyond comparison to any other gift you may have in mind. Nothing says “I admire you” more than honoring someone with a book. No matter the occasion – Christmas, birthday, Mother’s Day, Retirement, Anniversary – express your appreciation by commissioning Scottsdale Multimedia to write a book commemorating the life of that special person in your life. It is the perfect way to convey the message that you really wanted to do something spectacular this year.

Would the gift of a family history or corporate history, or a biography or memoir convey your sentiments to the receiver of your extraordinary gift? Your book gift is important, and chances are, you have little or no experience writing a book or being published. We have written many biographies, memoirs and other books, and have helped many of our clients to publish their books.

Writing a book about your expertise and methodologies sets you apart from your competition, providing you with market positioning, brand recognition, authenticity and credibility that cannot be obtained in any other manner. Regardless of your area of expertise you will receive an immediate and sustained boost to your market perception, which nearly always translates into elevated lead generation, business inquiries and invitations to speak.

Your career will be positively affected when your book is released. If you stop and think about it for a moment, everyone who is considered a dominant figure in your profession has published a book. Those who have released books are generally the ones called on to speak at events, to give interviews, and to express opinions. Become the person whose comments are sought out and who gets booked to give presentations.  Become a published author.

Celebrities are those who have overcome the odds and risen to the top of their art, avocation, or profession. It isn’t easy to be the one who “makes it” when so many others have tried and failed. Resentments and misunderstandings can plague a celebrity despite numerous interviews and press releases that seek to set the record straight. Scandal mongers invest endless resources into muddying the waters of otherwise peaceful and happy lives.

Your story has been a long time in the making. No one put you where you are today. That’s something you earned for yourself. Even those in your inner circle don’t really know about the “early days” and the innumerable, seemingly insignificant decisions that led to your eventual success. It’s time to tell your story.

Whether you’ve reached the summit or are still conquering mountains, tell your story without equivocation, in your words and in context. Scottsdale Multimedia is the premier firm for those who have distinguished themselves and are now ready to tell their story.

With more than 20 years of writing and publishing experience, our clients enjoy the luxury of telling their story their way, in their words. Don’t leave your story to be told by others. History belongs to those who write it.

Whether you are writing your first book or are a seasoned, published author looking for a ghostwriter with a track record, we understand the publishing industry and can offer you guidance in navigating your way through the publishing world. There are barriers in place to keep novices from submitting non-meritorious manuscripts for publication. Armed with a polished manuscript (which puts you in the top 1 percent of all authors) we will show you the pitfalls to avoid when presenting your book to publishers or literary agents.

Our clients are often new authors, who come to us with an idea and trust us to transform that idea into a book. Most of them have little knowledge about the writing or publishing process, and only with trepidation do they forge forward into the book authoring process. Scottsdale Multimedia has time proven expertise in writing books, and that is a rare commodity. Put your mind at ease and hire the best book writers and biographers available to write your book.

Scottsdale Multimedia’s writing services have been recognized in the national media as “groundbreaking,” being featured on the Hallmark Channel and in Robb Report and Jetset magazines. Do you have a great idea for a book, but are unsure how to transform it into reality? Don’t worry that you’re not a professional writer. We are. Scottsdale Multimedia will write your book, in your voice, from your viewpoint. We understand your book’s importance to you and know how to write it in an interesting way that will keep your audience riveted to the page.

Here is what Robb Report magamize recently write about Scottsdale Multimedia in its Collection Checkout page:

Write On
Lack of time or even lack of writing ability doesn’t have to prevent you from being an author. If you have a story to tell, about your life or your company’s history, a ghostwriting service such as Scottsdale Multimedia can help you put the words on the page—for posterity or to promote your business or your political career. “Whether you’re a politician or a company CEO, having a book that tells your story in your voice and in context makes all the sense in the world,” says John Bingham, Scottsdale Multimedia’s vice president of author development. (The company refers to its clients as authors.)

Bingham describes how his company has a system in place to ensure that the final text reads as though the author wrote it. “More than one writer begins each project,” he says, “and then we evaluate their work to see which writer does the best job of capturing the author’s voice. And that’s the writer who gets the assignment.”

Bingham says that a typical biography usually requires about 48 hours of taped interviews, conducted at the Scottsdale offices or at the author’s home, and that a 250-page final manuscript usually will be ready to go to a publisher, agent, or printer two months after the interviews are completed.

We write most genres of non-fiction books including science, medicine, law, urban studies, crime, history, religion, business, justice system, sociology, health, and a number of others. Call us for a free consultation to see if we have the expertise to write your book.

At Scottsdale Multimedia we preserve lives and histories through writing. Our clients wish to preserve various aspects of their lives when they come to us, ranging from childhood and family memories to personal and professional successes. Some desire to record the trials and successes of businesses or artistic endeavors. To this end, we provide a variety of writing services tailored specifically to the particular needs of the client—Standard Biographies and Memoirs for personal or family use, business biographies, and celebrity biographies. Our biography writing service was recently featured in Robb Report magazine and on the Hallmark Channel and our methods were touted as groundbreaking.

Biographies, Memoirs and Family Histories are often quite personal, and we are generally commissioned to write them about the client or a relative of the client to preserve the details of a life well lived. The events that make up a life are often of paramount importance to the person’s family, friends and descendants and should not be lost to time and fading memories. We will write your biography, memoir or other non-fiction book within 12 weeks.

Business Biographies and Corporate Histories are often commissioned by businesses to preserve the details and events of their progress and the lives of those who gave them existence and vitality. We are often asked to write the history of a business and its founders, or the biography of one or more of its officers or directors, or another significant person in the organization. The preservation and telling of a corporate history is paramount to creating an adequate appreciation for the people and decisions that made it what it is at the present, and to provide a roadmap of the direction the business is heading. A book about a company or a key executive can be central to establishing heightened credibility in any field or industry, and can become the source of greater leads, sales and revenues. This is especially true in the case of professionals who enjoy the regard of their peers, and who are recognized in their profession as having achieved much more than most. A book can share valued information and lessons across a profession and garner the respect of fellow practitioners.

Businesses, corporations, partnerships and other organizations, and those who found and lead them, which have overcome the odds and risen to the top of their industry or profession should have a print book written and distributed. Writing a book about your company’s history, products, services or methodologies will set you apart from your competition, providing you with market positioning, brand recognition, authenticity and credibility that cannot be obtained in any other manner. You will receive an immediate and sustained boost to your market perception, which nearly always translates into elevated lead generation and business inquiries.

Motivational and Inspirational Books. As a leader in the self-help, success and motivational speaking and writing profession you well understand that a print book with your name and picture on the cover and your insights within the pages is an absolute must to establish you as a luminary in your field. Imagine for a moment how you and your organization will be perceived when your printed book is presented to your industry and potential clients. Whatever the subject or methodology you are sharing, putting your own book into the hands of prospective clients and attendees will result in increased awareness and interest, immediately elevating your profile.

Do you need someone to write your book for you? Don’t worry, because if you desire to present your book as authored solely by you, no one will ever know that you utilized the services of a ghostwriter. Your name goes on your book, and you will receive sole authoring credit if that is your preference.

At Scottsdale Multimedia we’ve learned that our clients have already given a lot of thought to their writing projects before they contact us. Therefore, we listen very carefully as they explain what it is they wish to convey through the writing they hire us to provide. We ask our clients to consider carefully who their intended audience is, so that we may tailor the writing to speak directly to that audience. We record our interviews so that as we perform the writing we can capture the “voice” of the client in the writing. By understanding the voice of our client and the viewpoint of the intended audience we are able to help minds meet at a point of understanding where speaker and listener are united and the message is delivered.

Biographies, Memoirs and Family Histories are often quite personal, and we are generally commissioned to write them about the client or a relative of the client to preserve the details of a life well lived. The events that make up a life are often of paramount importance to the person’s family, friends and descendants and should not be lost to time and fading memories.

We are privileged to be designated as the caretakers of these life stories and consider it a labor of honor to preserve them in print for generations to come.

Celebrity Biographies are those commissioned to recount the events leading to one’s meteoric rise to the top of a profession or art. In all professions there are a few who make it to the top, often in the face of adversity and resistance, and it is generally expected that they will share the story of how they found the personal strength to survive, and even thrive, where so many others failed. Our founding writer, J.L. Thompson, generally writes our celebrity biographies.

Many of our clients have spent years and untold resources attempting to establish themselves as leaders and authorities. Few things can catapult their public perception and authenticity like a print book. Clients, patrons, potential customers, and even competitors instantly view our clients in a new light when their book is distributed. Whatever the company or executive asserts is suddenly viewed with a greater weight of authority, and a celebrity aura surrounds the person or organization featured in a book. Media and industry news sources often seek out the opinions and commentaries of those who are generally considered “experts” in the field, as established by the existence of their book.

Seminar Speaking. The top seminar speaking coach in the world tells every one of his students that they need a book. You need a book with your picture and name on the cover to tell the world that you are the go-to person, the professional. If you want to be asked to speak on radio and television programs about subjects that include your area of expertise, then you need a book to establish your credentials. In academia we hear the words “Publish or Perish” spoken with resounding clarity and finality, and for good reason. Your book is central to establishing heightened credibility in any field or industry, and can become the source of greater leads, sales and revenues. This is especially true in the case of professionals who enjoy the regard of their peers, and who are recognized in their profession as having achieved much more than most.

Would a book with your picture and name on it elevate your professional status, and make you the new benchmark in your field? Would you get the offers, the invitations to speak, and the interviews if you were the one with a book? Numerous professionals have expressed their firm faith that it was the publication of their book that launched their national careers. Many of those actually set out to elevate their career status by seeking out a writing firm to write their book, and making the release of their book an indispensable component of an overall public relations strategy. If your PR firm has not suggested that you write and release a book, you may be speaking with the wrong firm.

Rachael Ray attributes her phenomenal success to her understanding that without a book in print, her career would still be stuck in a rut. She explains that she was doing a local cooking broadcast, and spending her very small compensation to buy food for the show. She “knew” that without a book, her career would never get off the ground. She put her book together, released it, and suddenly began getting invitations to be on national television shows like Oprah. She got her own nationally televised show, then wrote another book! What is the message for you? Does your career, profession, business or company need a book? In the same way that a print book distinguishes a professional, it distinguishes a company, service or product. You can set yourself apart from the competition by publishing a book.

You will receive an immediate and sustained boost to your market perception, which nearly always translates into elevated lead generation, business inquiries, and opportunities.

Imagine for a moment how you and your company will be perceived when your printed book is presented to your industry and potential clients and customers. Whatever the service or other offering, nearly every business, organization or career enjoys manifold benefits growing directly from the publication of a book. You will be perceived as the leader, the force behind the cutting edge of what you do.

It’s All About Your Credibility—Your “Authenticity”

We understand credibility. Some have it, and some don’t. What’s the difference? Perception.

Some people or organizations can lose credibility in an instant, usually through the dissemination of adverse information. Most, however, exist within a cloud of anonymity and the resultant ambivalence toward them and their product or service. Others have no authenticity. Anyone in today’s marketplace can invest a little money and put up a website that makes him look like a seasoned fixture in the industry. He can rent a nice office and buy some hardwood furnishings and place an ad on television.

People have become leery of everyone because of this ability. A printed book with your name and picture on it tells everyone that you are the go-to-guy, the benchmark company, the one who pioneered the field and is still standing tall in it.

Many of our clients have spent years and untold resources attempting to establish themselves as leaders and authorities. Few things can catapult their public perception and authenticity like a print book.

Clients, patrons, potential customers, and even competitors instantly view our clients in a new light when their book is distributed.

Media and industry news sources often seek out the opinions and commentaries of those who are generally considered “experts” in the field, as established by the existence of their book. Isn’t it time you had a book?

A book can also help you establish “context” for misunderstood events. It sometimes becomes necessary to set the record straight. We help you tell your story in a persuasive manner, clearing up misconceptions that may have previously plagued an organization, executive or product. History, after all, belongs to those who write it.
