Reviews and approvals

Storyphile is your partner in the process of preserving your life story.

We’ll work closely with you, but it’s your story. You control how you want to tell it and share it.

You’ll have the opportunity to review each stage of your life story project. You’ll give us your feedback and approval at every step.

Interviews (raw material for your life story)

Interviews can be the starting point for a larger project, or they can be the final product.

Interviews get your story on the record for posterity—and that’s what’s most important.

Your interviews with Storyphile will feel like chats with an old and trusted friend—the kind you can share anything with.

Storyphile will gently guide your strolls down memory lane. You can talk about anything you like. You can also choose to be private about whatever you like. It’s your life and your story. You’ll always have the last word.

Audio recordings

Storyphile records your life story interviews on high-end digital equipment recommended by archivists. To guard against equipment failure, we use a second digital recorder as backup.

You and your loved ones can replay and enjoy your recorded interviews over and over again.

Book manuscripts

Recorded interviews are a great way to capture the milestones of your life. You may decide that this type of record is all you need. Or you may wish to shape your reminiscences into a fully developed story.

Behind each milestone in your life is a backdrop painted with adventure, pathos, laughter, disappointment, wonder, celebration, grief and joy. Storyphile can shape the raw material from your recorded interviews into a compelling, action-driven narrative. We can help you develop a page-turning tale that can amuse, entertain, inspire or even teach.

Storyphile conducts background research and works with you to select photos and documents that bring your story to life.

When your project is complete, you will have a flowing, polished manuscript that is ready for production as a book or an ebook.

Book production

Storyphile can manage the book production process for you.

We work with trusted partners to transform your manuscript into a beautiful book or ebook that you and your loved ones will enjoy and cherish for generations to come.

Your book will become part of your legacy.

If you’ve decided to produce your life story as a book, Storyphile can help you launch it in style. We can help you with media releases, posters, event planning and invitations. We’ll even bring the cake!
