How It Works

At Life Stories Company, we make the memoir process personal, effortless, and deeply meaningful. Here's how your story comes to life:

1. The Interview — A Conversation That Matters

We come to you. No scripts, no preparation needed—just real conversations in a comfortable, familiar setting. Interviews typically last 1 to 2.5 hours per day to keep the experience relaxed and never overwhelming.

Our founders, Chad and Grant Harbour, will personally lead each session, joined by one of our professional writers via phone. Together, we listen intently and ask thoughtful questions while recording each conversation for clarity and accuracy.

We’ll also sit down with close family members or friends by phone to enrich your story from multiple perspectives. And during our in-person visit, we’ll gather and carefully scan cherished photos to preserve them for your memoir.

These sessions are more than interviews—they’re meaningful moments of reflection, connection, and storytelling.

2. The Writing — Your Voice, Beautifully Captured

Our seasoned ghostwriters are masters of tone and narrative. Respectful of your culture, values, and beliefs, they work with great care to bring your memories to life on the page.

With deep listening and literary skill, we craft a narrative that feels unmistakably you—your stories, your humor, your wisdom, and your legacy, preserved in your voice.

3. Graphic Design — Your Story, Brought to Life Visually

Your photos are powerful heirlooms, and we treat them with the reverence they deserve. Our design team will lovingly restore worn or faded images and thoughtfully integrate them into the layout of your book.

Every detail, from the interior design to the custom cover, is created just for you. The result is a stunning, timeless work of art.

4. Book Printing — Crafted to Last for Generations

We use only the finest materials to produce a book worthy of your legacy. Each volume is professionally bound in hardcover, using premium papers and binding techniques that ensure it will be treasured for decades to come.

5. Capturing Your Voice — A Living Legacy

Would you like your story told in your own voice? Our audio recordings from your interview can be transformed into a narrated version of your memoir—allowing future generations to hear your words, exactly as you spoke them.
