How it works

Telling your story should be as easy as calling a friend.

Nobody has to be the person chasing everybody.

Five minutes of setting up. Then you wait.

Three steps. Zero blank pages. Zero homework.

Three steps. One link. No spreadsheet.

Three steps, and only the first one is yours.

1

Just talk.

Send one link.

Set it up.

No typing, no formatting, no stress. We ask the questions out loud, and you answer the way you would answer a friend.

Everyone who was there gets it. Nothing to install and no account to make before they can say something.

You choose who it is for and who gets invited. That is the whole of your job, and it takes about five minutes.

2

We do the writing.

They talk. You stop chasing.

Their people do the talking.

Your spoken stories are woven into readable chapters. It is life as it is lived, and it keeps growing every time you tell another one.

Each person answers out loud and adds their photos, in the two minutes they actually have. The book arranges itself as they go.

Everyone you invite answers a few questions out loud. Nobody has to write anything, and nobody has to be a writer.

3

Keep it forever.

Everyone can have one.

They find out when it arrives.

We turn those chapters into a book you can hold, printed and delivered to your door.

One copy is ready to order the moment it is arranged. Anyone who was there can change a few things first and print their own.

Nothing reaches them until the book is printed. The first they know of it is the weight of it in their hands.

Listen: The road trip of '78
from Margaret's audiobook · 6:24
“I have never seen him cry before.”“She kept every drawing I made.”
“The band played an hour over.”“Her kitchen at six in the morning.”
“We danced until the lights came up.”“She never once said I told you so.”
Stories

Don't just save memories. Hold them.

Forty people remember forty things.

They will read it and know who showed up.

Hear Margaret tell the story of the cross-country road trip of '78, and read the chapter that came from a twenty-minute chat over Sunday coffee.

The best line of the weekend came from the cousin nobody thought to ask. It is on page nine, next to her photograph of the tent at dusk.

Twelve people, three minutes each, and a book she will not put down for a week.

This isn't a forgotten cloud folder full of messy voice memos. It's a beautifully typeset, clothbound volume of the stories that made you. Give them the microphone, and get back a masterpiece.

The album everyone promised to add to is still empty. This one fills itself, because talking for two minutes is something people will actually do. Every page in full color, every voice in the book.

You cannot buy the thing you actually want to give them. So you gather it instead, from the people who were there for it.
