“I am 74 and I have started this project three separate times over the years. A blank page beat me every time. Getting one question a week in my inbox is what finally worked. I just answered it like a letter to my grandkids.”
Ellen RatcliffeAsheville, NC · March 2026Verified“Questions I never would have thought to ask myself pulled up things I had genuinely forgotten. The summer my father rebuilt the porch. The name of our first dog. Forty years came back one answer at a time.”
Frank DelgadoTucson, AZ · February 2026Verified“My mother is not a computer person. She talked her answers into her phone and we uploaded the photos together on Sundays. It became the reason we called each other every week.”
Nicole BarrettColumbus, OH · January 2026Verified“When the box arrived I sat on the front steps and read the first chapter before I got inside. Seeing my own name on a real hardback did something I was not prepared for.”
Marta SowinskiPortland, OR · December 2025Verified“I did mine in the mornings with coffee, one question at a time, and it never once felt like a chore. Six months later there was a book on the porch with my name on it.”
Douglas WrenBozeman, MT · March 2026Verified“We bought it for my father-in-law and honestly expected him to abandon it by week three. He finished early and immediately asked what else he could add.”
Priya RamanNaperville, IL · February 2026Verified“The editing was the part I was nervous about. It came back sounding exactly like me, just without the run-on sentences I have been writing my whole life.”
Curtis HydeSavannah, GA · February 2026Verified“I have three sisters and we all got a copy. Two of them called me crying, which for our family is roughly a standing ovation.”
Bernadette AlonzoAlbuquerque, NM · January 2026Verified“What surprised me was how much I enjoyed the answering itself. I thought I was doing it for the kids. It turned out I was doing it for me.”
Ray FeldmanBangor, ME · January 2026Verified“Scanning the old photographs took me a weekend and my grandson helped. Seeing them printed next to the right story was worth every minute of it.”

Frequently asked questions
I have never written anything. Is that a problem?
No. Most of our members have never written more than a birthday card. You answer plain questions in the words you would use out loud, and our editors handle spelling, punctuation and flow without changing how you sound.
What if I would rather talk than type?
Speak your answers into your phone or computer and we transcribe them word for word. Plenty of members do the whole book this way, often with a son or daughter sitting alongside.
How much time does this actually take?
Ten to twenty minutes per question, and you choose how many you do a week. The three-month plan runs about four a week; the twelve-month plan is closer to one. You can always go faster and finish early.
What will the finished book look like?
A sewn hardback with your name and title on a cover color you choose, up to 500 pages, and up to 100 of your photographs printed beside the stories they go with.
What do I get with a LifePages plan?
All 50 guided questions, editing of everything you write, full page layout with your photographs, and one printed hardback mailed to you. Shipping to the UK, the US and the EU is free.
Can I buy LifePages for my mom or dad?
This is how a lot of our books start. Buy the plan, hand over the login, and they answer at their own pace. Many families sit down and work through the questions together over the phone.
Begin anywhere. We ask the rest.
