We Write Your Private Memoir
It takes a certain type of person to know that their life contains strings of precious elements that must not be lost.
We offer a private memoir service. We’ll interview you about your life and write your story, in your unique voice, complete with photographs and custom maps.
The finished product is an impressive hardcover book that will be cherished by your family, friends, and future generations. We’ll deliver to you a tangible, living legacy.
What Is A Private Memoir?
A Memoir is focused on the moments and the years in time that shaped the author’s internal world and engagement in their exterior world. Our Memoirs read like a novel you cannot put down. Memoirs are not in chronological order because the structure of the Memoir is storytelling.
The art of storytelling can be learned, but for those that outshine most others at the highest heights in storytelling, it is always innate, reflexive and highly intuitive.
An autobiography is concerned with the author’s entire life in chronological order. Specifically, they focus on achievements and events. Autobiographies tend to be skimmed by the reader; they focus on really boring stuff in a rigid and stubborn order.
Our Method is
Personal and Simple:
1. Consult & Quote
Free consultation to determine your requirements.
No limitations on the amount of time we spend on a video call or a visit to our home, while we get to know each other and access if we are a good fit together.

2. Interviews
We conduct at least four interviews to draw out the stories that need to be heard and remembered for future generations. We discover the stories that have defined you. We strongly prefer to meet you in person—at least once. Other interviews can be completed via video calls.
3. Create Your Content
You’ll provide photographs and documents you find pertinent and to contact others from your past in search of photos and other details, if desired. We will create custom maps, as needed, that highlight your travel or important places or events in your life.

Bradley Falk
My Path Books was founded by Bradley and Jolan Falk and is based out of Tampa, Florida.
We are writers, storytellers and creatives.
We have a passion for the history of humanity, writing, and surrounding ourselves with the books and people we love. This passion ensures that your story is authentic, emotionally memorable and entertaining.
Bradley is our literary bridge builder. His big-picture creative thinking ties a Memoir together by the most unexpected and pleasing associations, much like a well-constructed poem. His interviews are both tranquil and fun.
Bradley has journaled daily since he was 10 years old and is an experienced writer who sincerely enjoys challenging assignments. He received his first ghostwriting project shortly after graduating from college. He has personally curated a 5,000+ antiquarian book collection. The majority of the volumes are in the library of their home, where Bradley & Jolan would love to meet you.
Jolan Falk
Jolan is both a born Storyteller and an Editor Extraordinaire that can find even minor weaknesses in what she reads and who leads us to multiple remedies.
Years ago, Jolan developed a new form of Memoir writing called The Orb Method. Orbs create a far clearer image to the client of what is needed and exactly how to do it.
Jolan keeps us on schedule and on purpose. She brings custom publishing and project management experience.
Our Process Promises Peace & Empowerment
We’ll guide you as you purposefully reoccupy your past.
You’ll become aware of what is going on, right now, on the stage that is your life,
which is a natural result of successfully reoccupying your past.
The above two steps will usually lead you to clearly see not only your next step but also the next path.
Life is Not a
Dress Rehearsal
If you do not capture your life story now and move it to a place outside of yourself, you are missing one of the most powerful, mystical and intellectual opportunities you could ever experience.
A Memoir comes from a multitiered organic process. One extraordinary thing you should look for is when the Memoir takes its first breath, and you realize it has become an entity outside of yourself. At this point the Memoir all but completes itself.
For most people over 50, approximately 85% of the challenges, and the swiftest forms of change—have already been completed. When you speak to someone that’s been retired over five years, you will probably notice in your conversation that their story has ended, and they are just running old worn-out reels. Writing your Memoir will change your life.
For Memoirs—Big Isn’t Better
The most important element of our mission is also our primary mantra, and that is to never forget that our job is to “Be You For A While.” This is existential stuff. With every Memoir we complete we remember those spooky moments when serendipities and sometimes even the knowing of something that it is impossible to know, sends chills down our spines.
The difficulty with big autobiography companies is that you will pay for at least four people to get introduced to you and to understand your story, before the first sentence is written. A Memoir requires a professional, two-way, intimacy at the gut level and everyone knows this, but few acknowledge it.
For The Grandparents
If you haven’t picked up on it, we feel a sacredness for what we do. As a grandparent you will usually have in mind yet unborn grandchildren and great grandchildren. A Memoir is a conduit that can assure that the many layers of your life will be understood—and that you will be remain “knowable” to future generations.
“Legacy” is a much-used word in our vocation, to the point of being cliché. So, let’s look into it.
The word “legacy” comes from the Latin word legatus, which means “envoy” or “ambassador.”
It’s difficult to leave a multi-generational legacy of your life and/or your life’s work that will retain YOU in it, because people get busy and people age. That means you have an obligation to be that “envoy,” to be that “ambassador,” and to create a timeless vehicle and vessel of who you really were—Your Memoir.
We respectfully call the bearers of a Memoir, members of “The Immortals’ Club”. With the completion of your Memoir, you have a very high probability that a family member or friend will exclaim, “This is the best gift you’ve ever given me!”
Honoring Those You Love
A Memoir is an eccentric, enjoyable and satisfying way to honor those you love and to communicate exactly why they mean so much to you. The multidimensional magic of a Memoir is that everyone who reads it will discover exactly why that person means so much to you.
After a few people have read your Memoir, we predict that you will discover two or three relationships that will rapidly grow to a new closeness. And, we also predict that they will not be the relationships you would have predicted.
The Next Step
Wouldn’t it be fresh and exciting to work with a service company that loves what they do?
Leading a client into The Immortals’ Club brings us great joy and a great honor we will never forget.
The next step is up to you. We invite you to call or email.

Testimonials
My gorgeous books arrived today, and I feel so much gratitude towards Bradley and Jolan guiding me to my most important stories. I’m so excited to personally deliver MY books to those I love. I so wish I would have done this earlier in my life!
—Rachel
I never realized how low my self-esteem had become until I signed off on the last sentence of my book. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life. I realized that I had done quite excellently with the cards the Universe dealt me.
—Jordan
You guys extracted everything you needed from me to create an amazing memoir. The crazy thing is for the entire time you were writing, it was the busiest my life has ever been. Your Orbs are absolutely brilliant and they saved my ass. I could always complete exactly what you asked. I’ll never forget you or this experience. It was better than a vacation! What’s a vacation?
—David
I came to know Bradley and Jolan through a mutual friend. For a year or two, I was seeking a way to capture the undeniable magic of meeting my 3rd wife, and our first six months together. For an obvious-to-me reason, I can remember nearly every sentence we said, the taste of every meal and the love that I felt.
Through every trick you can imagine, including many pages of emotional, sensitive and revealing dialog, they pulled the story out of me. It was so satisfying to my body, mind, and spirit to recapture and secure that wonderful time in my life.
—Parker
My book is my most precious possession. I want my grandkids and great grandkids to say I’m the coolest grandma who’s ever lived. I want my friends to find me a safe haven. If everyone in their middle to latter years was given the opportunity to record and share their lives, this world would quickly become a much better place. There is magic in what you do, Bradley and Jolan.
—Dawn
