Family Book Done For You

What you get

what you don't have to do

We do it all for you! 

No writing required!

If your parents haven’t gotten around to writing their memoirs … they never will. If you haven’t gotten around to interviewing them and writing their stories … sorry, you never will either. 

With our simple system you can set up fun interviews for your parents and get ready to celebrate with them when “The Book” is being read by grandkids and great grandkids at bedtime or the next big family gathering. 

Declutter all that family history stuff

If you worry about all that sentimental stuff in mom and dad’s house and you wonder what to do with it all … simply turn it into “The Book”.  

Our packages include strategies and coaching on how to easily digitize old photos, mementos, and documents so they can elegantly be showcased on the pages of your family book. Once the book is done, all that physical stuff can be safely packed up and stored somewhere else.
