Memoir subscriptions can be delivered to your parents’ email inbox whenever you choose, making them the perfect gift to schedule ahead of time or a perfect last-minute gift.

How Storyworth Memoirs Work

Storyworth Memoirs is an easy but thoughtful gift for parents — even if you waited till the last minute to buy it. You can purchase a subscription online and have it delivered to their email when you want. No need to worry about shipping cutoff dates or delivery delays.

Here's how it works:

• Designate your storyteller: Purchase your Storyworth Memoirs subscription online and designate a storyteller. This is the parent or grandparent who will be sharing their story.
• Choose their questions: Each week, we’ll send your storyteller a question prompt via email. You can choose from our library of questions or write your own. The storyteller can answer the prompt by replying to the email or logging into their Storyworth account to write or record their story.
• Print their book: After a year of questions and responses, you can edit and arrange the stories and add photos to make them ready to print in a hardcover book.

Once you and your parents or grandparents are happy with the layout of their stories and photos, let us know your book is ready to print! One black-and-white book with a color cover is included in your Storyworth Memoirs subscription. You can also order additional books or upgrade to a color interior for an added cost.
