You want to give your mom a Mother's Day gift that shows how much you love her, feels unique, and she'll actually enjoy. That's a tall order! Luckily, there's Storyworth.
It's simple: we send your mom one question each week, she shares her memories however she's most comfortable, and at the end of the year, her stories become a beautiful hardcover book your whole family will treasure. Best of all? She'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 her. That's why we offer the most options:
She can reply directly to her prompt, just like any email, or write her story on Storyworth with just one click. She can also share her story over a phone call and have it transcribed word for word, or use our guided interviewer that turns a phone conversation into a beautifully written narrative. No apps to download and no passwords to remember. She won’t need anything more advanced than an email address or a phone. She 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!”
We don’t often get the time or opportunity to reflect on our lives and remember our happiest moments. That’s especially true for moms.
Every week, we’ll send Mom 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?
She may call a family member or old friend to reminisce, or dig through old photo albums to find the perfect photo to bring her story to life.
Before long, receiving her weekly question will become her favorite ritual. A chance to walk down memory lane and even see her life in a whole new light.
“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!”
”Each Monday morning I look forward to receiving my question, thinking about it while I drink my coffee, and then writing. It is very fun for me to finally receive emails that I want to open and look forward to replying too!!”

One of the most beloved features of Storyworth is family sharing. Add family and friends to your mom's account so they can suggest upcoming questions, contribute photos, and read and respond to her stories as she writes them.
You'll be surprised at what you learn, week by week, about this woman you've known your entire life. Stories she would never have thought to share will help you see her as the person she was before she was "Mom," 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!”
“It has been exactly what I hoped it would be. I am learning so much about my 80 y.o. Mother. The questions are giving life to stories, and the stories are giving life to more stories. I feel like I am learning who my mother was, for the first time.”
Storyworth is a gift that gives her the pride of accomplishing something big! Once she’s added the perfect pictures to each story, customized her cover, and used our magic editor to find and fix mistakes, it’s time to print her book!
Storyworth books are built to last generations and designed to look just like the hardcovers you'd find in a bookstore. She'll love holding her book in her hands and the feeling of being a published author.
“It’s wonderful to know my children and future generations will get a feel for who I am and the life I lead rather than just being a name. It feels like writing this book is the legacy I will leave behind.”
“Putting my story into actual words has been a blessing and brings a heart of gratitude! I’m so glad there is a Storyworth to record my life experiences for my children, grandkids, and hopefully future generations to know me.”

That's up to you! Some questions may spark long stories, while others may only need a few sentences to answer. Just write or say what you remember—even the simplest memories can mean so much.
That’s totally fine! You’ll always have access to write, edit, and order copies of your book, even after your subscription year has ended. Weekly questions are there to provide helpful structure, but this is your story to tell at your pace.
Yes! You can tell your stories over a phone call (even on a landline!), and they’ll automatically be transcribed into your memoir. You can edit and add photos just like the ones you answer over email or on your Storyworth account.
We have the largest library of curated questions covering everything from childhood and education to parenthood, travel, and hobbies. You can also write your own questions or share a few life details to get personalized questions.
We’re committed to preserving your stories forever. They’ll always be private, owned by you, and available to read, edit, or add to. You can also download a free PDF copy of your memoir anytime.
