Storyworth is a popular choice for life story books, but many families find the year-long writing commitment too much. Tell My Life Story takes a different approach: phone calls instead of typing, and a polished memoir instead of compiled Q&As.
Buy NowStoryworth asks your loved one to write each week. Many elderly parents find typing difficult or tiring. Tell My Life Story calls them on the phone — they just talk naturally while our AI interviewer guides the conversation.
Storyworth compiles written responses into a Q&A-style book. Tell My Life Story transforms phone conversations into a polished narrative memoir with chapters, transitions, and emotional arc — it reads like a real book.
Storyworth gives you one book (black and white by default). Extra copies cost $39–99 each. Tell My Life Story includes 20 premium hardcover copies — enough for the whole family.
Storyworth runs for 52 weeks — a full year of weekly writing. Tell My Life Story completes the memoir in 4–6 weeks through a handful of relaxed phone calls.
No app, no website, no email. Your loved one just answers the phone. Works with any phone, including landlines. Perfect for parents and grandparents who aren't comfortable with technology.
