For your own story

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.

Why it works

Built for the story only you can tell.

Speak, don’t write

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.

On your terms

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.

Private by default

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.

How it works

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.

— 01

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.

“Tell me about Saturdays, growing up.”

Dad was in the shed. I’d bring him tea and pass him bulbs.

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.

Questions

Questions people ask

What if I don’t know where to start?

You don’t need to. Lori opens with easy, concrete questions, the street you grew up on, your first job, the people who shaped you, and one story reliably leads to another. There’s no outline to write and no right order.

How much time does it take?

As little as five minutes at a sitting. There’s no deadline: some people talk daily for a stretch, others once a month. Lori picks up exactly where you left off.

Who can read my story?

Only the people you invite. Your memoir is private by default; you control who joins, who can read, and what’s included.

Do I have to finish it?

There’s no finish line. A Loristry memoir is a living record: add stories whenever they come to you, and share it at any stage.
