Your life, written in 30 days.
From memory to manuscript — the art of your Jeevan Katha.
From a 30-Day Challenge to a Lifelong Craft
Jeevan Katha was born from a simple but radical experiment — to see if a full book could be written and published in just 30 days. In October 2025, writer and storyteller Manoj Nayak set himself that challenge. The result was The Bombay Business Club — a complete, 60,000-word novel written, edited, and published within one month. That experience became more than a writing milestone; it became a process, a philosophy, and now, a service.
At Jeevan Katha, Manoj brings that same immersive discipline to life writing. Over a 30-day residency, he shadows you every day, listens to your memories, observes your world, and captures the emotion behind each moment. From those fragments emerges your Jeevan Katha — your life rendered in words that endure.
This isn’t ghostwriting. It’s companionship through storytelling. It’s the art of turning a lived life into literature.
The Residency Process
Thirty days of listening, writing, and transformation.
We begin by charting the course of your life. Together, we identify key life events, emotional arcs, and the defining moments that shape your narrative.
Manoj becomes a quiet observer in your world. Through daily shadowing, interviews, and shared experiences, your stories are captured and concurrently written in real-time.
The final days are dedicated to editing, refining, and compiling the manuscript. We polish the narrative, ensuring your voice and truth resonate on every page.

A Note from the Founder
When I wrote The Bombay Business Club in 30 days, I learned that writing isn’t about time — it’s about truth. Every person carries a library of moments waiting to be written. Jeevan Katha is my way of helping you open that library and preserve it. I don’t just write for you; I write with you — as a witness, a listener, and a storyteller. Thirty days is enough time to turn a life into a book. I know because I’ve done it. Now it’s your turn.
