The team that brings your story to life
It takes a diverse team of highly experienced specialists to craft a LifeBook.
Project Manager
A personal project manager ensures that everything runs smoothly.
Interviewer
An interviewer, chosen for empathy and awareness, conducts guided conversations.
Ghostwriter
With care and precision, a professional writer crafts a compelling narrative.
Editor
An editor ensures that the tone of the writing reflects the author’s personality.
Book designer
An expert typesetter and designer ensures a seamless marriage of text and imagery.
Printer and bookbinder

How it works
Whether you want to capture your own life story or a loved one’s, we make the journey easy, enjoyable and deeply rewarding.
Starting your memoir journey
Your journey will begin with a welcome gift: your LifeBook journal – a thoughtful companion to help you reflect, gather memories and note down the stories you wish to preserve.
Your project manager
From the moment you begin your memoir journey, your personal project manager will be by your side, handling every detail so that you can relax and enjoy the experience.
Face-to-face interviews
In your own home, you will talk with an interviewer chosen for their ability to understand your unique story. Over the course of these conversations, your memories will unfold. Your interviewer will carefully scan your treasured photos and documents during these visits, so that your originals remain safely with you.
Writing and editing
Your ghostwriter will listen with care to your spoken words and capture your voice on the page, writing with your cadence and character so the memoir sounds unmistakably like you. From there, they will craft a narrative that reflects your personality and the richness of your life. Your memoir will feel like you in every sense – your voice, your memories and your legacy, all beautifully brought to life on the page.
Restoring your cherished photographs
Whether they’ve faded over time or sustained damage, our experts will lovingly restore your treasured photos so that the memories they hold can be shared and cherished in your memoir. In addition, when your LifeBook journey is complete, you will receive a digital copy of every restored photo.
Artisanal book production
We entrust the printing and binding of our finished memoirs to traditional English bookbinders. They will print your memoir on archival-quality paper, handbound and stitched to lie flat when opened. With a custom-designed dust jacket and a choice of linen, leather, endpaper and embossing options, your LifeBook will be as unique as your journey.
Capturing your voice
We will record you reading your chosen memories and stories from your book in your final meeting with your interviewer. Whether it’s the sound of your laughter, the way you tell a story or the wisdom you wish to impart, these Audio Highlights will be captured for ever.
Time to share your story
Soon, your beautifully crafted LifeBooks will be on their way to you, presented in gift boxes and ready to sign or add a personal note. Then comes the best part: sharing and enjoying your LifeBook with those who matter most. Your children, your grandchildren and perhaps even your great-grandchildren will relish the chance to hear your stories.
Starting their journey
Your loved one will receive a welcome pack that includes a personal video message from our founders, introducing the LifeBook process and reassuring them that we will handle every detail, so they can simply enjoy the experience. A personal journal is also included, designed to inspire your loved one to reflect and make notes.
