BBC recently invited Roy to discuss the growing interest in writing memoirs and autobiographies. He also shared how it all started when he wanted to capture his father Jules’ stories and sent his personal assistant to document everything. After Jules’ book was finalised, he wanted to help others with their memoirs.
While memories fade, stories can last forever. We all enjoy the telling of our family stories – important events, traditions, adventures and misadventures! Our family stories are powerful and even if we’ve heard the stories many times before, it seems to stir something within our souls. Why is this? We take a look at why our family stories are so beneficial to us in so many different ways.
In this video, bookbinding expert Francis Atterbury and LifeBook’s founder Roy discuss our approach to making high-quality memoirs and, more importantly, why the choice of materials and bookbinding methods are so important. Francis has a long experience of making books and helped us establish our new way of making premium memoirs in 2018.
Most recently, two extraordinary women have stood out, not only as scientific pioneers but also as very important players in the fight against Covid-19: Katalin Karikó and Sarah Gilbert. Their vital work has helped in the development of effective vaccines against the virus and, in turn, the saving of many lives around the world.
Here at LifeBook we often come across the reluctant author who has been gifted a project. However, once they see the immense value their finalised memoir brings to family and friends, they are happy they agreed to go ahead. John was one of them; his memoir is a joy to read for his son and granddaughter. She finds that he was born under a Mulberry bush really funny.
Looking for something meaningful to do? Always wanted to write your memoirs? Since March 2020, we have a Covid-19 safe and simple process.

Is it possible to end 2020 better than LifeBook’s founder Roy Moëd being interviewed by Elaine Pofeldt for Forbes? The article “This Entrepreneur Has Built A Fast-Growing Business Helping Elderly People Tell Their Stories” is centered around how Roy’s father Jules inspired him to set up LifeBook in 2012.
They say hindsight is like 20/20 vision but 2020 is a year we may try to forget. Having said that, there have of course also been wonderful moments this year. All of us at LifeBook wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and health and happiness for 2021. It will take strength and courage to make sure the future will be a better place.
How do you go about finding the perfect Christmas gift for your loved ones? A gift that is unique and special? The holidays are around the corner, and that means we are all making our lists, checking them twice, and racking our brains for gift ideas for those who managed to earn a coveted spot on the list of “nice.”
Many of our LifeBook authors grew up during the Second World War and, in their memoirs they describe the typical Christmas celebrations of the time. Even if many of us struggle with the restrictions Covid-19 imposes, today’s Christmas festivities are, in comparison, a luxurious affair for most people.
