Four simple stages

From a thoughtful gift to a book to share

  1. Choose the gift or product

    Choose Life Story for one storyteller, Tribute for a group keepsake and reveal, or Through Our Eyes for a book of people’s own credited stories.

  2. Invite the storyteller or contributors

    The Life Story buyer gives the recipient access. For Tribute or Through Our Eyes, an organiser invites people to contribute.

  3. Share the memories in your own words

    Life Story and Tribute offer guided questions. Through Our Eyes contributors write their own stories, can add a photo, and submit when ready.

  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.
