A working memoir,not a blank page.
You’ve been meaning to write it down for years. Skip the writing: Lori interviews you in relaxed, spoken conversations, and your memoir takes shape as chapters, photos, and a timeline. Share it with whoever you choose, or keep it entirely private.
100% Satisfaction guaranteed
Built for the story only you can tell.
Your voice, captured as chapters.
The blank page stalls most memoirs before they start. Lori asks the questions and does the writing, turning your spoken answers into polished chapters that still sound like you.
Five minutes between meetings, or an hour on a Sunday.
There’s no deadline and nothing to prepare. Talk when a memory surfaces; Lori remembers where you left off and follows up on the threads you opened last time.
You decide who reads it, and when.
Keep it just for yourself, share chapters with your children, or invite the whole family in as contributors. Nothing is visible to anyone until you say so.
You talk. The memoir writes itself.
No outline, no first draft, no software to learn. Answer questions out loud and watch the record of your life fill in.
Talk with Lori, whenever it suits you.
As little as 5 minutes, as often or as rarely as you like. Lori is a skilled interviewer, not a generic chatbot. She asks warm, specific questions, remembers what you said last time, and keeps a running list of follow-ups.
Invite the people who remember it with you.
Your story has witnesses. Invite siblings, old friends, your children. Anyone who was there can add their own perspective, photos, and memories to the record.
“It was the summer of ’62.”
“I have the photo. Workbench, back of the shed.”
“It was after Dad came back, not before.”
“There’s a tape of him and the radios.”
Watch your memoir take shape.
Read new chapters as they arrive, browse an interactive timeline, rediscover photos of times you’d forgotten. It builds over time, and it’s yours forever.
