The digital-edition Chronicle

Life Story£99

The whole life, in their own words. A complete digital edition.

Life Story is the entry point – but it is not a reduced version of Chronicle. It is Chronicle in full: the guided conversation, voice sessions, custom design, the complete thirteen-chapter arc – delivered as a full-colour digital edition to read and share online.

It is the same guided experience as Memoir. The only thing Life Story does not include is a printed book. When you want to hold it in your hands, upgrade to Memoir for a casebound hardback or Heirloom for the premium Smyth Sewn keepsake – you pay only the difference, and every word carries over.

Questions on Life Story.

Does Life Story include a printed book?

No – Life Story is the digital edition (e-book). It is the complete memoir, full colour, to read and share online. To hold it as a printed, bound book, upgrade to Memoir (casebound hardback) or Heirloom (Smyth Sewn hardback); you pay only the difference.

How does it compare to Memoir?

The software is identical – the same guided conversations, voice sessions and custom design. Memoir adds a full-colour casebound hardback, printed and posted in the UK. Life Story is the digital edition of exactly the same story.

Can I read and share it with the family?

Yes. The digital edition is the whole book, full colour, and family sharing is included – you can share it with everyone you want to give it to.

Can I upgrade later?

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