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 Story Agent. 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. Your story is reviewed with narrative questions to deepen and enrich it. You choose your genre style and approve sample paragraphs before the enhanced second draft.
Review your final draft, add any last notes, and select from custom cover designs. Our Quality Control Agent ensures your book meets ethical and legal standards before publication.

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.
