Life story book – Share your unique story with loved ones
Turn your memories, photographs and recordings into a hardcover life story book. StoryKeeper gives you a simple way to tell your story and share it with the people you love.
Life story book
Your life is more than a list of milestones. The friendships, family habits and everyday experiences are part of the story too.
Let future generations get to know you
Tell your family about your childhood, the work you did, the places you lived and the people who mattered. A life story book helps them see the world through your eyes.
You choose where to begin and what to include. Start with one memory, then build your book at your own pace.
Relive your best stories in a beautiful way
A photograph, a recipe or a familiar phrase can bring back a story you have not told in years. Add the details that make it yours: what you felt, what surprised you and what you still remember.
Pair your words with photographs and recordings. QR codes in the printed book let your family hear or watch the original recordings as they read.
How it works
Choose a guided prompt or add a question of your own. Write or dictate your answer, or record audio and video online. StoryKeeper helps you bring the pieces together without needing to be an experienced writer.
StoryKeeper Plus also includes a phone-call service: tell your story during a telephone call, and we record and transcribe it for your book. You can review the text, change the wording and decide what is ready to print.
Give the joy of the most meaningful gift
Give a parent or grandparent an invitation to share more of their life. The questions can spark conversations about people and experiences you might never have thought to ask about.
There is no deadline and no subscription on either plan. They can begin with a short memory and come back whenever it suits them.
The finished book is something to enjoy together, and something future generations can keep.
Share your life story across generations
Family stories help connect generations. Your children may be curious about your school days, while your grandchildren may want to know how different life was when you were their age.
Your memories can also keep other people’s stories alive. Include the relatives, friends and neighbours who helped make you who you are.
Keep the family history alive with a book based on your memories
Think about a family tradition, a piece of advice you still follow or a person whose kindness stayed with you. Often, the smallest details are the ones your family will treasure most.
StoryKeeper gives those memories a lasting home in a book you can hold, read and share.
Because your story is worth keeping.
