Your life story in your words, on camera. We come to your home or office with a lean TV-quality film crew and interview you about your life—growing up, finding your path to success, lessons learned, wisdom gained, and values you want to share. A few weeks later, we deliver your interview, beautifully edited with archival photos and music.

A Life Story Book is a memoir or family book that captures the story of a well-lived life (or lives) and the lessons and wisdom and values that come with it. It is your definitive chronicle of your life— researched, written, designed, and custom-published in your chosen format.
Many people publish Life Story Books for loved ones—to share with family and pass on to next generations. Some people publish their book for a broader audience and, with our help, sell their book on Amazon.com and via their own sales website.
We start with a phone call to assess your goals. Then, writer Pattie Sellers or Nina Easton (who have spent their entire careers telling stories of prominent people) come to your home or office—or meet with you via Zoom or another virtual platform—to interview you about your life. Meanwhile, we ask you about your desired format—the book’s size, cover, design—and collect photos you want to include.
Typically, we interview you for 10 to 12 hours to produce a Life Story Book of 100 pages or more. We will be happy to interview other people, if you wish.
Yes. You will review multiple drafts of the book and tell us what you want changed. You have control every step of the way.
