Specialized Ghostwriting Team
Choosing your writer and publisher for your legacy is a once-in-a-lifetime decision. When you partner with Birthright Books, you are engaging a diverse team of experienced writers actively curated by a seasoned and award-winning memoirist.
Personalized Editing Approach
Maybe you don’t have the time or professional skills to document your history and accomplishments for your personal community. Yet your story is unique, and your experiences should not go unremembered or poorly written. We tailor our craftsmanship to meet your publishing goals—as we are experts at rewriting history.
Interior And Cover Design
Besides your words, the design of your book is an art unto itself. Allow our artists to represent you and your words in exactly the way you have always imagined. As a thumbnail image on a computer screen, your cover should be able to grab your reader’s attention and prepare them for their reading journey.

PEOPLE
The Best Writers for Your Best-Teller
When Marlayna Glynn wrote her first memoir in the 2000s, the publishing market hadn’t yet embraced unagented authors. When the self-publishing industry took to the stratosphere, Marlayna was ready and her memoir, Overlay: One Girl’s Life in 1970s Las Vegas, became an instant best-seller. Winning the coveted Indie Book Awards medal for Overcoming Adversity, Overlay remained on the bestseller list for years. Marlayna’s books have sold upwards of one million copies to date and as of 2021, Marlayna has written over 65 books.
Birthright Books was born from Marlayna’s seasoned experience in realizing that working with a memoirist is a deeply intimate professional relationship. When sharing your wins and losses, special moments, and life-altering experiences, you must feel free to share your personal stories. We do not use interviewers, as we believe that the relationship you build with your writer is the crux of your book’s success. That’s why we carefully match writers and clients to ensure that our client’s safety, trust, and vulnerability matches our writer’s skill, instinct, and talent. There is no one-size-fits-all in the writing industry, and Birthright Books is a perfect representation of Marlayna’s gift for hiring and matchmaking.
You will spend an hour or two per week with your writer and discover how effortless our process is. Within a few months of conversational interviews, you will hold in your hands an expertly crafted story with a beautiful cover to share with your family, friends, and business colleagues.
Whether you are publishing privately for your family and heirs or using your book as a marketing lead generator for speaking gigs, attracting clients, or creating influence, you will be proud to distribute your heirloom to the hands of others.

Jewels, Author
I came to Marlayna with a project that I’d been working on for years, literally. I wanted to write a memoir and reach out to other women with backgrounds similar to mine. Marlayna accepted the challenge and gracefully walked alongside me as I told her my story. She was professional yet very compassionate. She took me step by step as the book came to life. I’m very excited to not only have my story told and in print but also from the place of love from which it was created. I’m grateful to have worked with her.

D.T., CLIENT
Our writer was an absolute joy to work with! She became personally invested in the story of my father from the very beginning, and won over the family’s trust very quickly. Not an easy feat with any family! We could not have had a better fit. Thank you so much for making this project possible and bringing joy to our family and to many generations ahead.
JOHN ZEHREN, AUTHOR
Marlayna was amazing to work with and I will absolutely hire her again in the future. I hired Marlayna as a writer/editor for my Amazon ebook. She is a gifted writer and nailed the tone I was looking for.
Additionally, she conducted research needed to support certain scientific assertions in the book.
Marlayna is so easy to work with, does not fluster easily and remains professional at all times. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her. Marlayna remained 100% enthusiastic throughout this entire process which was greatly appreciated. I can’t say enough about how great of an experience it was to work with her.
LOU CHANG, AUTHOR
My writer has been extremely helpful! She pays attention to all details and is super efficient in delivering work and sticking to deadlines.
She is passionate about the project and did everything she could to deliver the best result. I couldn’t have asked for a better editor.
Would definitely work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
JACKIE CARROLL, CEO
I started working with Birthright Books in 2017. From the moment we had our first Skype meeting I knew my writerwas going to be able to deliver exactly what I needed.
His communication was consistent and excellent!
His work was delivered on time and of a quality that is exceptional, he really went the extra mile for my project and treated it like it was one of his own publications!
I loved every minute of working with my writer and would highly recommend his work to anyone looking to use his services.
JOHN DUNN, AUTHOR
My editor was an awesome editor and extremely helpful to help me take my book across the finish line. Couldn’t have done it without him!
GERRY TUCCI, AUTHOR
I have always fancied myself a quite competent writer in my professional career with high standards when it comes to the written language, and in my organization I always stress good skillful communication both verbal and written. We accomplished what I hoped to achieve, and I could not be more satisfied with our result.
TIM GREEN, AUTHOR
To put it simply, Marlayna is the best. She takes your thoughts, feelings, and words and brings them to life.
She is magically talented. Working with her challenged me and lifted me to places I didn’t think I could reach.
She will forever hold a place in my heart.
