Membership Structure

Full membership is appropriate for those who have an existing business that focuses on telling life stories. The benefits of full membership are:

  • your own listing on the BGGNY website's members directory, including a short bio, a photo, a list of specialties, and links to your website;

  • access to BGGNY's closed Facebook group, where members can trade information, advice, tips, and referrals;

  • use of the BGGNY logo on your website;

  • admission to all BGGNY meetings at no extra cost.

Associate membership is appropriate for those who are seriously exploring this line of work or just starting a business. The benefits of associate membership are:

  • admission to all BGGNY meetings at no extra cost.


Non-members can attend one meeting gratis. After that, drop-in fees are $20/meeting. Drop in if you're curious about whether telling life stories is a business you want to pursue professionally.
