A family or personal life story makes a great,very personal Christmas gift!

This Christmas, why not gift one of those stories to your family and friends?

Whether it’s a single story in form of a newsletter  or a children’s book, or a collection of stories published in a book, we can help you delight and inspire your loved ones with your family and personal life stories.

For a limited time we will rememberize your first story for only $89.

A good family and personal life story is relatively short, the reader (or viewer) can take it in in 3-5 minutes. It consists of more than just facts, but includes feelings, fears, hopes, humor, beliefs, some of that stuff that reveals something about the true personality of the subject of the story. A good story tells enough about the surroundings so that the reader can picture themselves in the story. This may include references to major events, historical or otherwise; explanations about things like “party lines”, “ice boxes”, “sock hop”, “derrick”, … A good story also includes visuals like photos and drawings. And in our day and time it can also include a link to video or audio content that can easily be accessed on a smart phone.

We want to help you tell your family and personal life stories so that your loved ones will not only read (or watch) them, but that they will be entertained, delighted, inspired, touched by them.

What do I get for $89?

For a limited time, we are offering to write your first story for only $89. Pick a story you want to tell, then call us up for an appointment. We’ll record your story (in person or over the phone) , write it up, add some pictures or other artwork and put it together into an attractive newsletter format. You can then share that newsletter with family and friends:

  • a printed version through the mail (we’ll give you 20 printed color copies),
  • an electronic version through email (we’ll give you a PDF),
  • as a post on Facebook, or
  • as a memory on FamilySearch.

And you can add that story to your personal collection so that at some time in the future you have enough stories to publish your own fun, engaging personal history.

Our $89 special might provide you with a good template and a jump start to your own writing activities.

We can also be engaged as coaches/consultants for things like:

  • managing the digitizing of your photos,
  • managing the layout design and printing of your work
  • adding videos to your work

You can tell us the stories and we can write them for you.

We believe a captivating personal history is for the most part a collection of captivating individual stories. We can help you rememberize as many stories as you want and can then help with all aspects of the production of an attractive bound book. Our services are a la carte. Use as many or as few of them as you need to accomplish your goal.

Too many traditional personal histories collect dust on someone’s shelf. They contain a wealth of information and inspiration, but those are well hidden because they don’t get read. Traditional personal histories are more of a ‘personal life archive’ for only the ‘most interested’ of your posterity. A rememberized personal history contains a lot of fun, inspiring, short stories complemented by photos, videos, graphics, and interesting sidebars. Its aim is to connect your family and friends with your life story.
