We help you create a beautifully published book of your life’s stories & cherished memories.
We simplify capturing your memories—whether by writing, typing, voice-to-text, audio, or video—and guide you in producing professionally designed books your loved ones will cherish for generations.
You can choose from a number of legacy book formats—or come up with an idea of your own!
- Autobiography or Life Story: A comprehensive, chronological account of your entire life, detailing the key events, experiences, and milestones from your birth to the present in a factual, structured format.
- Memoir: A focused narrative that highlights select moments, themes, or periods from your life. Memoirs emphasize your personal reflections, emotions, and insights rather than offer a complete chronology of your life.
- Photo Memoir: A visual-driven memoir that combines photographs with brief narratives or captions, focusing on illustrated stories from your life to evoke memories and emotions. Picture your grandmother sitting next to you explaining the stories behind what you see in old photographs.
- Tribute Memoir: A collaborative collection of writings from loved ones about a central person, featuring favorite memories, cherished stories, or reasons why they admire or love the individual, serving as a heartfelt homage to their life and impact.
- Anthology: A collection of just about anything that can be produced in book form. An anthology could include recipes, short stories, poems, songs, jokes, artwork, or anything similar.
- Legacy Letter: Also called an ethical will, this is a concise letter or longer document written to select people (usually your loved ones) that shares your core values, life lessons, and wisdom.
