“This is something we wanted to do before time ran out.”
~Ginger S.
You know how we always say we’ll write down our loved ones’ stories one of these days, but never have the time, energy, or resources to make it happen? Life Story Book Services uses personalized interviews to create hardcover books that capture life stories for future generations–without those dozens of hours of work falling on you.

There’s only so much time left.
You do your best to preserve memories of your loved one–filming videos, organizing photos, recording audio snippets, maybe writing down an anecdote here and there.
Still, the majority of your loved one’s stories have only been passed down orally. And the sad reality is that your loved one won’t always be able to keep telling those stories.
But when you’re trying to keep up with work life and family life already, you just don’t have dozens of hours left to make a legacy book for your aging family members.
So your memories of their stories fade.
Your disorganized pieces of memorabilia get separated and lost.
You clean out the basement, saying, “This should be here somewhere…”
So many people tell me, “I wish I could ask my mom about that, but she has dementia now.” Or, “I wish we had recorded my dad’s story before he passed away.”
Will that be you in a few years?
It doesn’t have to be.
Life Story Book Services exists to capture these stories in a way that takes the pressure off of you.
01
I interview older people over the phone or over Zoom, asking them a series of questions that will draw out their life stories.
That way, they don’t have to fill out a time-consuming questionnaire. They can simply have a conversation that will allow them to share what’s most important to them.
02
I take care of all the writing, editing, photo formatting, and printing for you.
All you have to do is send your photos, review the text, and tell me how many books to order.
03
Within just a few weeks, you’ll hold a completed project in your hands and flip through the pages of stories and photos.
You can read it with kids like a bedtime story, or with aging family members to refresh their memories.
Here's why people have decided
