Legacy by Levin is offered by invitation, through financial advisors. You introduce a client. My team and I write the book of their life with them, in their voice, and the family gets bound copies.
I’m Michael Levin, a New York Times bestselling ghostwriter. I’ve written, co-written, edited or published more than a thousand books.

From the families.
“My father, Victor Carter, was a leading industrialist and philanthropist in Los Angeles for decades. Michael Levin worked with me to capture his story from his upbringing in Russia to his conquering of not one but three industries, including the film industry. Michael was a diligent partner, a thorough interviewer, and an outstanding writer, and I’m very proud of the book that we created together.”
“Thank you for helping make this book possible. Never to forget, never to forgive.”
