Why Your Story Matters — And How Life Stories Company Brings It to Life

Every life is a story. A long, winding, extraordinary story made of triumphs, struggles, lessons, people, and defining moments. But most people never take the time to capture it, and generations of wisdom, history, and memory are lost forever.

At Life Stories Company, we believe every person deserves a beautifully written, professionally crafted memoir—an heirloom that honors their life and preserves their legacy.

For 32 years, we’ve helped clients transform their experiences into timeless books that their families cherish for generations. Whether you’re a business leader, a parent, a grandparent, or someone who simply wants to preserve meaningful moments, we make the process simple, enjoyable, and deeply rewarding.

Here’s how we do it.

We Make Telling Your Story Comfortable and Effortless

The most common hesitation people have is simple:
“I don’t know where to start.”

That’s where our team steps in.

We come to you—your home, your office, your lake house, wherever you’re most comfortable—and conduct relaxed, conversational interviews. There’s no pressure, no preparation required, no need to impress. We guide the conversation gently and naturally, making it feel less like an interview and more like reminiscing with old friends.

Interviews typically last 1–2.5 hours per day, paced so they never feel overwhelming. Whether your story spans a single afternoon or a week of sessions, we tailor everything to your comfort.

Professional Writers Turn Your Memories Into a Masterpiece

Not everyone is a writer. And that’s perfectly fine.

Our writers are seasoned professionals—craftsmen and storytellers who have spent decades capturing human lives with elegance, depth, and authenticity.

Here’s what they do:

• Structure your story with clarity and narrative flow
• Capture your voice so the book sounds like you, not us
• Shape fragmented memories into cohesive chapters
• Preserve accuracy while elevating the storytelling
• Ensure the final manuscript is polished, readable, and heirloom-worthy

You bring the life.
We bring the craft.

A Hands-On, White-Glove Process—From First Interview to Finished Book

Creating a private memoir should be an enjoyable experience. We’ve refined our process so each step is smooth, organized, and respectful of your time:

1. Initial Conversation
   We learn what you hope to preserve and what legacy you want to leave behind.
2. In-Person Interviews
   Conducted by our team—often Chad and Grant Harbour—along with one of our professional writers. These conversations unlock memories that haven’t surfaced in years.
3. Writing & Crafting Your Story
   Our writer takes the raw interviews and turns them into a beautifully structured manuscript.
4. Collaboration & Review
   You read drafts, suggest corrections, clarify details, and shape the story alongside us.
5. Design & Book Production
   Your memoir is printed as a custom, museum-quality book—archival materials, elegant layout, tailored photography, and timeless design.
6. Delivery of your Heirloom Book
   You receive copies to share with family, children, grandchildren, colleagues—whoever you choose.

Every step is personalized. Every detail matters. Every story receives the same level of care, whether you’re a Fortune 500 executive or a grandfather wanting to pass down wisdom.

Why People Choose Life Stories Company

Clients tell us the same things again and again:

“You made me comfortable.”

We’re warm. We’re patient. We listen deeply. Our job is to make storytelling easy.

“I never realized my life was so meaningful until I saw it written down.”

A memoir reveals the hidden threads that make a life extraordinary.

“This is the most valuable thing I’ve ever given my family.”

Your story becomes a family treasure—read, shared, and passed down long after we’re all gone.

“You understood what mattered.”

We capture not just events, but values, lessons, culture, and the emotional truth behind your experiences.

Your Life Deserves To Be Told Beautifully

Most people never record their story. They assume their life isn’t special enough. But here’s the truth:

Your story is the only one of its kind.
If you don’t preserve it, no one else will.

Life Stories Company exists to make sure your memories, wisdom, humor, and humanity live on.

Whether you’re ready to begin or just curious about the process, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Your life is extraordinary.
Let’s tell the story that proves it.
