Have a Question?
If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for here, ask our Support Team, or contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
How does this work?
You will receive one question each week for a full year. By the end, all your responses will be beautifully compiled into a personalized keepsake book. You can even add your own questions if you'd like — it’s your story, after all!
What kind of questions will be asked ?
Here are a few examples of the questions you'll receive:
- What are your earliest memories?
- Have you traveled anywhere interesting?
- Who are the most important people in your life, and why?
- What are your hobbies and interests?
- What are your proudest achievements?
These question prompts are just suggestions, and you can customize them to include any questions you would like!
If I purchase a subscription as a gift, can I have it delivered on a certain date?
Absolutely!
During checkout, you can specify the date you’d like the recipient to receive their first email. You can also include a personalized gift message to make it extra special.
How do I choose the right book?
It depends on who you're buying for. We offer books tailored to specific people and relationships.
For example, 'Preserving Memories' is great for parents and grandparents, 'Baby’s First Moments' for new parents, 'The Story of Us' for couples, and 'I'm Writing a Book About You' for a special loved one.
Can I order additional copies after the initial purchase?
Yes, you can! You can order extra copies at any time for just $30 each.
How do I order for different people?
You can order books for multiple people in the same transaction. Simply provide us with the recipient’s details for each book so it’s sent to the right person.
Can my loved one add photos with their answers?
Yes! Photos are a great way to bring stories to life, and you can add as many photos as you'd like to the book. We've also included easy-to-use editing tools to help you get the most out of your pictures.
Is there any way to get more than one question a week?
Yes! You can fully customize the pacing to suit your schedule. Access all the questions at once, or choose to receive one question weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly — it’s totally up to you!
Can answers be edited before the book is printed?
Definitely! If you think of new details or want to revise an answer, you can edit all responses by logging into your account at any point before the book is finalized for printing.
Can I choose what questions will be asked?
Yes! You can either use our curated list of questions or personalize them by editing individual questions or creating your own. We also provide a library of over 100 prompts for each type of book.
Can I customize the cover?
