What customers say about Storyworth Memoirs

At Storyworth, we believe everyone has a story worth sharing. Our mission is to help families preserve their most important stories in a full-color hardcover memory book that can be enjoyed by family, friends, and loved ones for years to come. Storyworth Memoirs make sharing stories easy so you can focus on what's important: reflecting, remembering and sharing.

Is Storyworth worth it?

Founded in 2013, Storyworth is the original and still the most trusted name in family storytelling. We’ve helped families publish over a million books and tell more than 35 million stories through a simple and accessible format. With Storyworth Memoirs, storytellers receive one thought-provoking prompt each week by email or text. They can share stories in the way that's best for them either in writing or one of our three voice-recording options.

Each question gives the storyteller an opportunity to reflect and reminisce, sometimes unearthing memories they haven't thought of in years. Family and friends can follow along as they share, growing closer while learning more about the storyteller. If you ever have a question or need help, our caring support team is always available by phone, text or email.

At the end of the year, all of the storyteller’s stories and photos can be printed in a keepsake book, with a QR code linking to voice recordings, and downloaded as an e-book. Reflecting on their life can help them see it in a new light, and they’ll feel a real sense of accomplishment and pride at publishing their memoirs. Plus, they’ll know that their legacy will be preserved in a book that can be shared and enjoyed by family and friends for years to come. We’re proud to help families connect across generations long after a subscription has ended.

You don’t have to take our word for it alone: The New York Times Wirecutter described Storyworth Memoirs as a “gift that stands above the rest.” Here’s how the reviewer described her experience:

‍"Watching my dad’s book come together filled me with the kind of joy that’s usually reserved for a parent witnessing their child take the stage for the first time. And it’s a gift that helped him achieve a true dream: writing a book." 

‍Storyworth Memoirs have also been recommended by editors at The Strategist, CNET, Mindbodygreen, CNN, and many more. It’s a truly thoughtful gift and perfect for the person on your list who has everything. 

You can also read some of the over 60,000 Trustpilot Storyworth reviews illustrating exactly how meaningful the Storyworth Memoir experience can be, both for storytellers and their loved ones.
