Questions
Who answers the questions?
The person whose story it is (we call them the storyteller). If you buy the book as a gift, you invite them with a link and they answer at their own pace. You can also sit together and answer it with them, or family members can add memories and recordings.
Can the storyteller speak instead of typing?
Yes. Every question can be answered by voice in the browser, and you can upload existing recordings (MP3, M4A or WAV). You check the written-out text before it is used, so names and places are spelled right.
What if I do not like a chapter?
Leave comments on the chapter and we change only that chapter, showing you the text before and after. Two rounds of changes per chapter are included. Nothing is final until you approve it.
What is the difference between the formats?
Digital PDF is a finished e-book to read and share. Print-ready files are the full print layout (inside pages and cover) for your own printer. Softcover and hardcover are printed, bound and delivered to you.
Will I see the book before it is printed?
Yes. You see a page-by-page preview and the cover, and you approve the exact version that will be printed. Because every book is personal, printed books cannot be returned after that approval, so please check it carefully.
