Our storytelling team, trained by award-winning documentary filmmakers, guides you through every draft, every detail and every decision, until you hold a finished book you'll treasure for generations.
Sign up and meet your Interviewer. Through an in-depth guided interview, optional access to your LinkedIn and Facebook data, and a narrative survey, we lay the foundations for your autobiography.
Your first draft arrives, exactly as long as your story needs — no minimum, no padding. Choose your genre style, then revise each chapter with your own notes until it feels right.
Review your final draft. Our Quality Control Agent checks your book's narrative quality and consistency before publication.

Sometimes a story deserves a human hand. Our network of professional writers and editors is just opening, and our first writers are being hand-chosen by our founder, Deborah. Your writer reads your chapters and sends you suggestions that add that final layer of artistry only a human can bring: quirk, rhythm and soul. Your voice and your facts stay exactly as they are.
Human writers share in what your book earns, because great writing should always be rewarded. Full terms in our T&Cs.
By request, from $599. Nothing is charged until you have been matched and approved. You can ask at any point while you write, or after your book is finished.
This network is just beginning. We are bringing in our first writers one by one, each chosen personally by Deborah and passionate about telling human stories. We are building the team in these areas:
There are plenty of ways to write a book. There is only one way to write yours, and this is it.
You don't write a single word. You talk, and we listen. A guided conversation draws out your story, just like a documentary interview. If you can tell it, we can write it.
Our interview approach was shaped by award-winning television and documentary producers with 25 years of experience finding the extraordinary in everyday lives.
Your book sounds like you. The way you speak, the words you use, the rhythms of how you tell a story. Not a template. Not a ghostwriter's voice. Yours.
No minimum, no maximum, your life sets the length. We don't cut, compress or summarise to fit a format. Every thread gets followed. Every chapter gets written.
If you choose to publish it, your story lives on in our community library, accessible to your family and community, not just now, but for generations to come.
You own your story, full stop. We are a publishing partner, not an extractor. Your words, your life, your intellectual property. Full terms in our T&Cs.
