The entry-point Chronicle

Life Story£49

A complete memoir, beautifully made. The whole life, in their own words.

Life Story is the entry point – but it is not a reduced version of Chronicle. It is Chronicle in full: the guided conversation, the complete thirteen-chapter arc, the finished book.

The book is a perfect bound softcover, printed on 90gsm paper, with a colour cover and a classic black-and-white interior. There is something deliberate about a B&W interior – it reads like a proper memoir, unencumbered by colour photography. Families who want colour photos on the page can add a colour interior upgrade for £15 at the print order stage.

Questions on Life Story.

Why is the interior black and white?

The black-and-white interior is the classic memoir aesthetic – the same look as the bookshop memoirs you have read. It is also lighter, easier to hold, and cheaper to make. A colour interior is available as a £15 upgrade at the order stage if you want photos in colour.

How does it compare to Memoir?

Life Story is a perfect bound softcover with a B&W interior. Memoir is a casebound hardback with a full-colour interior, plus voice-recorded sessions. The story-shaping is the same; the book is lighter and the photographs are different.

Does Life Story include a printed copy?

Yes. Every Life Story includes one perfect bound softcover copy, printed and posted in the UK. Additional copies are £15 each at the print order stage. The full digital PDF is included too.

Can I upgrade to Memoir later?

Yes. You can upgrade at any time – we charge the difference, not the full Memoir price. The work done on Life Story carries over without losing a word.
