Questions & Answers
How do I know if it'll actually sound like them?
Start with a Sample Chapter for $500. You'll receive one professionally edited chapter before committing to more. If it doesn't capture their voice, we'll work with you until it does—or refund your deposit.
What if my parent has trouble hearing or speaking?
Our interviewers are experienced with elderly subjects. We can adjust for hearing aids, use video calls if helpful, schedule shorter sessions, or work with a family member present. We'll find what works.
How long does the process take?
Sample Chapters are delivered within 7 days of the interview. Full books typically take 3-6 months depending on the package. We work at your parent's pace—no rushing.
What happens to the recordings?
You own everything—recordings, transcripts, and the finished book. We keep copies for 12 months after delivery to allow for reprints or revisions, then permanently delete them unless you ask us to keep them.
Does the $500 Sample Chapter apply to a full book?
Yes! If you continue to any complete book package, your $500 sample chapter payment is applied as a deposit toward the total cost.
Can we add photos to the book?
Absolutely. The Guided Memoir includes basic photo integration. Concierge and Legacy packages include professional photo restoration and custom layout design with your family photos.
Your parent won't do their homework.
That's fine. They just have to answer the phone.
