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?

Yes, we offer over 40 beautiful cover designs for you to choose from, so you can make your book truly unique.

Can I customize the language of the book?

We offer question sets in various languages including French, English (US), Spanish, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, German, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch, and Portuguese.
If you'd prefer another language, feel free to write your own questions with no restrictions.

What payment methods are accepted for ordering?

We accept major payment methods such as VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, American Express, Apple Pay, CB, and Shop Pay.

What are the available add-ons or upgrades?

You can add an audiobook version of your book, order additional copies, and even purchase a gorgeous gift box to wrap your printed books.

Where do you ship to? How much does it cost?

We ship worldwide! For customers in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, first shipping is included in the product price. For other countries, there’s a shipping fee per package. It ranges from $5 to $15 depending on the country.

How do I order for different people?

To order books for multiple people, you'll need to complete each purchase separately. After placing your first order, you can easily start a new one for the next recipient.

How much does it cost?

Prices start at $79 for a book with one writer and one copy. The total cost depends on the number of books and copies you select.

How do I apply a discount code to my order?

You can apply your discount code during the final checkout step.

When is support available?

Our support team is available 7 days a week, and we aim to respond within 48 hours.

Where can I find help if I have other questions?

We’re always happy to assist! You can reach us using the chat widget on our website or visit the Contact Us page to submit your question via our contact form.

If I’m sending stories by email, how do I know they’ll be kept private?

Your privacy is our top priority. We use SSL encryption to protect your data, and none of our employees have access to your personal information or stories. When your book is completed, we create a PDF and send it to our printer with a non-disclosure agreement in place to guarantee confidentiality.

Do you provide tutorials?

Yes, we offer tutorials for all the features of our platform.

Do I need to be tech-savvy to use My Life in a Book?

Not at all!
We designed our platform to be easy to use, especially for those who aren’t tech-savvy. Everyone has a story, and we’re here to help you share yours in the simplest way possible.
