As the daughter of an immigrant mother who spent much of her life caring for her children (me!) in an unsung-hero sort of way, as my parents reached their 70’s I tried to coax a story out of them both to learn more about them and pass on to my children. Neither of them were very interested in putting their stories to paper; enter Marlayna and Birthright Books.
Marlayna interviewed my parents, together and separately, at length to write the story of their independent lives and their lives together. The final product is a beautiful telling of our family that will be passed down to my children (their grandchildren) and hopefully generations past that. I am thrilled with the final product and appreciative of Marlayna’s gracious touch, evident in all her interactions with my parents, and also in the book

Piece by Piece was a great experience, and you and your staff did a super job!
Thank you

Marlayna was a pleasure to work with and helped bring our family story to life! We approached this family memoir with some trepidation as it was a little unclear whose story we were telling and how it might come together. Marlayna was patient, thoughtful, and helpful in drawing out a range of material through her interviews. She did outside research to help fill in some gaps and put together a story for our family that we will treasure for years to come. So many of our family members have expressed just how thrilled they are with the book. We highly recommend Marlayna…go find your story!

Marlayna and Lessie exceeded my expectations. They were professional, attentive, and genuinely interested in capturing my father’s essence in their writing. The memoir they crafted is more than just a book; it’s a meaningful legacy for our family. It’s beautifully written and truly honors my father’s life and values.
I highly recommend Marlayna and Birthright Books to anyone looking to preserve the story of a loved one. Their work is exceptional, and the biography they’ve created for us is a treasure that will be cherished by our family forever.

If you believe you have a story worth sharing but feel uneasy about the daunting process of writing a book, call Marlayna Glynn today. I knew I had a compelling story to share, but I didn’t have the time to write the book without a partner. Marlayna became that partner and quickly surpassed all of my expectations. One year later, I became a best-selling author and have sold over one thousand copies of my first published book: From Running Back To Giving Back: A Lineage of Civil Advocacy

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
