You want to give your dad a Father's Day gift that shows how much you love him, feels unique, and he'll actually enjoy. That's a tall order! Luckily, there's Storyworth.
It's simple: we send your dad one question each week by email or text, he shares his memories however he's most comfortable, and at the end of the year, his stories become a beautiful hardcover book your whole family will treasure. Best of all? He'll actually enjoy the process, not just the end result.
Storyworth is the original and most trusted name in family storytelling. Since 2013, families have preserved over 35 million stories in more than a million keepsake books. But is Storyworth right for your family?
Short answer: no! Storyworth takes a big project, creating a book of memories that spans her entire life, and breaks it into bite-sized pieces with weekly question prompts delivered by text or email.
Choose from 500+ prompts, write your own, or add a few facts, and we’ll create questions just for you.
Tell your stories on our website, over the phone or by email. Bring them to life with unlimited photos.
Read, reread, and pass down your keepsake memoir. There are no time limits to print your book.
Unlike other storytelling platforms, we believe the best way to share stories is the one that works for him. That's why we offer the most options:
He can reply directly to his weekly prompt, just like any email, or write his story on Storyworth with just one click. He can also tell stories over the phone with voice transcription or chat with Storyworth on a Magic Interview. And just in time for Father’s Day, you can join him on a Family Call to ask questions and share memories together. We transform conversations into stories and add them to his memoir in seconds.
No apps to download and no passwords to remember. He won’t need anything more advanced than an email address or a phone. He can even use a landline!
“Family members can submit questions; I can write my own or use the Storyworth prompts. I can write from my phone, iPad or computer, or I can voice record! Adding photos is a great addition. This is a great resource for recording my story for my family!”
“Storyworth broke a seemingly large project into bite-sized pieces. Before I knew what happened—and with very little effort—I had over 70 stories and over 300 pages!”
For some dads, opening up and sharing memories can be difficult. Storyworth offers the time and opportunity to reflect and a structured way for him to share.
Every week, we'll send Dad a question that sparks a long-forgotten memory, like: What do you miss about being a child? When were you happiest? How did you rebel as a child?
He may call a family member or old friend to reminisce, or dig through old photo albums to find the perfect photo to bring his story to life.
Before long, receiving his weekly question will become his favorite ritual. A chance to walk down memory lane and even see his life in a whole new light.
“I love these opportunities to recall and reflect and even perhaps share a little wisdom. I look forward to seeing the weekly prompts that help me gain perspective on a lifetime of events.”
“For me, the gift has been the wonderful memories my writing has given me. Memories I never would have remembered and now realize I would never have thought of.”
Storyworth offers three plans to make preserving your family's most important stories accessible to everyone:
Basic — Everything you need to preserve a loved one's life stories in a keepsake book at our most affordable price.
Color — All Basic features, plus tools to make storytelling even easier and your printed book more vibrant with full-color pages.
Unlimited — Perfect for families who want to preserve stories from everyone. You get all our most advanced tools and can gift Memoirs to anyone in your family while your subscription is active. Includes two full-color book credits, plus $10 in additional credits when you add new storytellers.
One of the most beloved features of Storyworth is family sharing. Add family and friends to your dad's account so they can suggest upcoming questions, contribute photos, and read and respond to his stories as he writes them.
You'll be surprised at what you learn, week by week, about this man you've known your entire life. Stories he would never have thought to share will help you see him as the person he was before he was "Dad," deepening your connection in ways you didn't expect.
"I've learned so many amazing stories about my parents that I have never heard before. I recommend Storyworth to all my friends - these stories and memories are priceless. Also, they've sparked so many fun conversations even before our book is done!”
“My father has enjoyed going down memory lane writing stories from childhood and on. As soon as he finishes one story another idea pops in his head. It's been fun getting to know him other than my dad.”

Storyworth is a gift that gives him the pride of accomplishing something big! Once he's added the perfect pictures to each story, customized his cover, and used our Magic Editor to find and fix spelling and grammar, it's time to print his book!
Storyworth books are built to last generations and designed to look just like the hardcovers you'd find in a bookstore. He'll love holding his book in his hands and the feeling of being a published author.
“The fact that you have to look back at your life and experiences is enlightening. For anyone that is having feelings of self doubt will feel better about themselves once they realize that they actually have accomplished things!”
“Since retiring, I’ve always wanted to write my story but honestly didn’t know how to begin. Storyworth was the spark that got me started. I truly enjoyed reminiscing, and looking up old photos to include in my writings.”
