How Guided Life Story Works from Questions to Keepsake

Guided Life Story from Learn About Me turns small memory questions into a structured keepsake your family can revisit for years.

For individual memories without a chapter sequence, Tell It Your Way offers a separate approach with optional guidance and its own trial. The steps below describe guided Life Story.

Step 1: Choose the gift or product

The buyer chooses a Life Story package for one storyteller. Someone writing for themselves can begin with the free Prologue and choose a package when ready.

Step 2: Invite the storyteller

The gift recipient receives access and becomes the storyteller. The buyer does not need to write on their behalf. Optional Circle members can follow progress and offer encouragement.

Step 3: Capture answers, stories and photos with guidance

The storyteller explores themed questions and adds photos. Follow-up questions help them go further into memories and details. Their answers supply the substance of chapter drafts, which they review.

Step 4: Review, download and share the finished digital book

The storyteller checks the chapters and book contents before requesting a digital book to download and share. Physical printing and shipping are not included.

Why this feels manageable

• Each chapter starts with a clear question instead of a blank page.
• The storyteller can move at their own pace instead of trying to write everything in one sitting.
• Follow-up questions help the story deepen gradually rather than demanding a perfect draft straight away.
