Who it's for
Anyone with a story. Which is everyone.
A grandmother with ninety years of them. A father who never talks about the war. A child who makes up dragons at bedtime. You. Different people, the same patient listener, and a book at the end.
Most people come for one of these
A life told for the people who come after.

Read moreAnd these
Some stories are not a whole life.
A child's own tales. A service record. How the family got here. The company you built. A reunion weekend. The same method works for all of them.
Hospice teams
For hospice and palliative care teams
A legacy program for patients and families: dignified, controlled by the patient, and useful to the team.
Children
A book your child wrote, starring your child
For parents who want to catch a child's own stories, in their own words, and turn them into a picture book they are the hero of.
Founders
The story of the company, told by the people who built it
A founder memoir or company history gathered by interviewing the people who were there, in scenes, with the near-death included.
Veterans
A veteran's story, told the right way
For families who want a service story recorded without re-opening wounds: ordinary first, led by the veteran, kept straight.
Immigrant families
The story of how your family got here
For first- and second-generation families who know the outline of the immigration story and none of the story.
Family reunions
For a family reunion
Collect every branch's stories in one record and come away with a book of the family.
Giving it to someone?
Most books start as a gift.
A son or daughter sets it up and records a short message. Their parent hears it at the first visit, and from then on it is their book.
Tellforth
Tell it forward.
The stories are already there. All that is missing is someone to ask.
