You Wrote the Manuscript. We Bring It toLife.

Our StoryActivation® Service transforms your draft into a polished, published book—ready for the world to read.

I would 1000% recommend StoryBuilders to anybody who’s considering writing a book. Like they say, everybody has a story worth telling, right? I didn’t have to worry about anything else. I felt fully supported.”

“When I wrote my book, I needed to work with someone I could trust to create a book I could be proud of. I could not have been more pleased with the results. If you want a stress-free, enjoyable, and professional experience, I highly recommend you work with my friends at StoryBuilders!”

Chris Winton
Senior Executive at SVP Human Resources

“I put off writing my first book for many years, but not only did StoryBuilders produce an excellent book that has sold thousands of copies in my business, they also collaborated with me to make it even better!

The authenticity on the team and emphasis on personal service and support is simply incredible!”

Greg Cagle
Author of The 4 Dimensions of Culture, coach, & speaker

“StoryBuilders definitely exceeded my expectations for sure. That’s kind of a no brainer. It was such an easy process. So many people are surprised when I say this, but if you have a great team and individuals who believe in your story, it makes all the difference.

StoryBuilders believed in my story, and I could tell they were excited about it. I knew the book was going to be good, but it went beyond my expectations thanks to the creativity the team brought and how they helped me share my story as an athlete.”
