How it works

Start with a person. Make room for their stories.

Learn About Me offers three different starting points. Choose a gift for someone you love, or a way to tell a memory of your own.

Two ways to give

Whose voice will tell the story?

Give one person room to tell their life story, or gather the voices of the people who know them.

One person, in their own words

Learn About Me Life Story

One storyteller explores themed questions, adds photos and reviews the chapters of their own life-story book.

Best for: A parent, grandparent or loved one who would enjoy a little structure.

Once-off payment

Many voices, one person celebrated

Tribute

Family and friends contribute stories, messages and photos about someone, brought together in a shared digital book and reveal.

Best for: A birthday, retirement or celebration with contributions from a group.

Four simple stages

From a thoughtful gift to a book to share

  1. Choose the gift or product

    Choose Life Story for one storyteller or Tribute for stories from a group.

  2. Invite the storyteller or contributors

    The Life Story buyer gives the recipient access. A Tribute organiser invites family and friends to contribute.

  3. Capture answers, stories and photos with guidance

    The storyteller or contributors share their memories. Questions help them begin; their words and photos make it personal.

  4. Review, download and share the finished digital book

    The storyteller or organiser reviews the result before downloading and sharing it. Physical printing and shipping are not included.

Who does what?

Life Story: the recipient tells their story

The buyer chooses a gift package. The recipient receives access and becomes the storyteller, answering questions and reviewing chapter drafts. Circle members can follow progress and offer encouragement.

Questions and follow-ups help the storyteller explore their memories. The storyteller supplies the substance and reviews the wording before sharing the book.

Tribute: the group celebrates the honouree

The organiser sets up the occasion, invites contributors and follows progress. Contributors answer guided questions and add photos about the honouree. The honouree does not need to write their life story.

The organiser reviews the collected material and shares the digital book and reveal. Reminder support helps gather contributions before the deadline.
