Your dedicated concierge will shepherd you through the process, making sure that it’s easy, stress-free, and enjoyable. They will work with you to create an interview schedule that is convenient for you.

Your concierge will also provide regular updates to share the story of your life, keeping you well-informed about the ongoing progress of your book’s creation.

We begin with a one-hour development call where your unique book is discussed, including its structure and content. Our skilled interviewers will then create a tailored list of topics and questions for your interview sessions.

Before each interview, you'll receive the topics and related questions to be covered. You're encouraged to gather photos and keepsakes that hold significance for the story of your life. You will enjoy reminiscing with our professional interviewers!

Each interview is carefully transcribed to preserve the essence of the story of your life. Our team meticulously removes background audio, the interviewer's questions, filler words, and repetition. The clean transcript is then sent to My Stories Matter's professional writers.

Your dedicated professional will take the transcript and masterfully polish the story of your life while preserving your unique ‘voice’ (personality and style). They will conduct research to add clarifying details, improve the flow, and enhance readability. This will transform each story into an enthralling journey as your family turns the pages of the story of your life.

After the story of your life is written, it will be uploaded to your personal My Stories Matter account where you can make edits and additions, such as adding photos. You can also invite your loved ones to contribute their unique perspectives of your shared experiences, further enriching your life stories book.

We utilize state-of-the-art technologies, and the expertise of our professional photographers to revitalize old, damaged, or faded photos so that your invaluable images shine in the story of your life. From upscaling to colorization, we offer various photo enhancements to showcase your precious photos in the best light for future generations.

Once you are satisfied with the draft book, we will send it to our publishers, who utilize high-quality materials to ensure the story of your life can be enjoyed and appreciated for many generations.
