How it works

Bring your memories
to life

Our storytelling team, trained by award-winning TV entertainment and documentary filmmakers, will guide you every step of the way, from gathering memories to a finished book you'll treasure for generations.

01

Share your memories

Take part in an interview designed by award-winning TV and documentary makers, as they help build your story. Upload photos, import career history, and invite family to contribute their favourite moments too.

02

We write your book

We write your autobiography in the narrative style you choose, epic memoir, romance, thriller, or 20 others. Your story is exactly as long as it needs to be — no minimum, no padding.

03

Choose your title

Once your manuscript is written, we suggest a selection of titles drawn from your own story. You choose the one that feels most like you, or bring one of your own.

04

Review and approve

Read your story, request revisions, approve your cover design. Add a human writer for extra craft if you'd like.

05

Publish and celebrate

Receive your eBook, order beautiful printed copies, and choose whether to share your story in our global library — entirely up to you. Either way, your story keeps earning for your family, forever.
