What it is

A year of weekly emailed questions that the recipient answers in writing, which Storyworth then binds into a hardcover book. The basic plan includes one book with a black-and-white interior.

A year-long memoir service. Each week for a year, the storyteller gets a question by email about their life, and they answer by replying to the email or writing on the website, adding photos if they like. Questions can come from Storyworth's library or be written by the giver. At the end, the stories are laid out into a hardcover book. The Basic plan prints in black and white inside with a colour cover.
