Our most popular memoir services
Please note: if you have a unique story project in mind that is not listed below, we are more than happy to write a customized memoir for you.
Family history and heritage
What it captures: Your family’s origins, migrations, traditions, and the stories that explain who you are and where you came from.
The value: Future generations will know their roots with depth and context—not just names and dates, but the texture of their ancestors’ lives and the values and traditions that shaped your family.
Why you should have it: These stories and ways of life vanish when their keepers pass, leaving descendants with unanswered questions and a genealogy that feels hollow. Commission this work now, and your legacy becomes permanent—a gift every generation will thank you for.
Anniversary love story
What it captures: The full arc of your marriage—how you met, what you’ve built together, the challenges survived, and the partnership that endured.
The value: A gift that honors your relationship now while becoming a cherished heirloom your descendants will treasure when they navigate their own relationships.
Why you should have it: Your grandchildren will know you were married for fifty years but never understand what those years contained or what lasting love truly requires. Preserve it beautifully, and your love becomes a model and inspiration that outlives you both.
Coming of age celebration
What it captures: A young person’s journey from childhood to adulthood: their character development, contributions, qualities, and the moments that shaped who they’ve become.
The value: Your child receives, in permanent form, everything you’ve observed but perhaps struggle to articulate. A literary portrait of their character, growth and milestones, and how much they are loved for who they are.
Why you should have it: Despite the best intentions, these kinds of words can remain unspoken, daily life intervenes, and you’re left with the regret of “I should have told them.” Create this memoir, and they’ll carry your encouraging, appreciative words with them—a compass they’ll consult throughout their entire life to remind them who they are.
Honoring military service
What it captures: The experiences of service—deployments, camaraderie, sacrifice, and the person you became through serving your country.
The value: Honors your service with the literary, professional treatment and respect it deserves while helping family understand what you witnessed, endured, and carried home.
Why you should have it: The most formative experiences of your life often remain largely unshared, and descendants will never grasp what your service truly meant. Preserve these experiences now, and your service is honored fully: understood, appreciated, and never forgotten.
Parents’ and grandparents’ wisdom and stories
What it captures: Who your parents or grandparents really were as complete people—their dreams, struggles, beliefs, and experiences beyond their roles as caregivers.
The value: Future generations searching for identity and wisdom will find their ancestors rendered vivid and real, not reduced to faded photographs.
Why you should have it: When they pass, an irreplaceable archive of wisdom disappears. No amount of research can recover what you can preserve. Act now, and you ensure their legacy survives—an heirloom your family will cherish and return to for generations to come.
Collector’s catalogue
What it captures: The passion and the stories behind your collection: what drew you to these objects, the makers of the art, the stories of acquisition and what the collection means beyond its monetary value.
The value: Ensures your collection is understood and appreciated rather than simply liquidated. Preserves the knowledge and backstory behind collecting.
Why you should have it: The collection easily becomes just objects to be sold or distributed, stripped of the meaning and expertise you spent a long time building. Commission this memoir, and your passion is understood forever: your collection becomes a meaningful legacy, not miscellaneous estate items.
Retirement reflections
What it captures: A lifetime of work, relationships, and experiences viewed from the vantage point of completion: what mattered, what was learned, what you’d tell your younger self.
The value: Captures a perspective that is only available at life’s later stages. A collection of wisdom and life lessons that your family and community will reference for guidance.
Why you should have it: Decades of insight can easily remain unrecorded, and the clarity that comes with age never gets passed forward. Create this reflection now, and your life’s wisdom becomes a permanent guide your loved ones can access whenever they need it.
Creative life & artistic journey
What it captures: The evolution of your creative practice, inspirations, challenges of the artistic life, and the works that defined your career.
The value: Contextualizes your art for future audiences and family, preserving not just the work but the vision, process, and person behind it.
Without it: Your art may survive, but the story of its creation and the artist’s inner life can become guesswork rather than record. Document it now, and your artistic vision lives on completely: the work and the soul behind it, inseparable.
Immigration journey
What it captures: The decision to leave, the journey between worlds, the adaptation to a new country, and what was sacrificed and gained in building a new life.
The value: Descendants born and raised in the new country will understand the courage, obstacles, and hope that brought them here, and appreciate their inherited opportunities.
Why you should have it: The immigration story can get simplified into a single fact, erasing the emotional complexity and individual fortitude it required. Capture this story today, and your courage becomes a touchstone your descendants will draw strength from forever.
