This is How We
Write a Biography
Every parent and grandparent has a rich life story. But if you're like us, you've never gotten around to sitting down and recording it. It can be daunting - how do I start? What questions do I ask? How do I record stories? How do I manage the timeline of their life? And how do I get a book printed?
No Story Lost has spent the last few years perfecting this art and creating a process for the important and meaningful gift of putting someone's life story in a book. We've made a biographer (or memoir writer) accessible to everyone.
We carefully interview, record stories, transcribe the audio to text, and then write a beautiful biography in your parent's own words (tidied up, of course!). Then we create their beautiful story book, add their photos, and lay it out into a coffee table book format - so it can be shared and cherished by all their friends and family.
It ends up being the perfect gift for Grandma, Grandpa, Mom or Dad. For their 75th birthday, retirement, or simply a gift for someone who has everything already.
It's like if a personal memoir and a photo story book came together in one convenient service.
