A thirty-day challenge, led by Grace
Write a life story they'll pass down for generations
Writing someone's life story is a skill, not a gift — and skills can be learned, at any age. Over thirty days you'll turn a lifetime of memories — yours, or a parent's — into a real, finished book your family will pass down for generations, one small step each day, with Grace beside you the whole way.

Created for You
Love the idea, but want me to create it for you?
Sometimes the occasion is too important, the project is too big, or you'd simply rather have someone experienced take care of the whole thing. That's where my Created for You service comes in — every commission starts with a personal one-to-one conversation with me.
See the Created for You serviceYour Life Story
Your memories deserve somewhere to live.
Most of us carry hundreds of stories that have never been written down. The places we came from. The people who shaped us. Childhood memories. Loves and losses. Family stories. Adventures. Mistakes. Triumphs. Tiny moments that somehow stayed with us. I'll work with you through a series of personal interviews to capture those stories in your own voice. Then I'll organise, write, edit and shape them into a beautifully readable account of your life — something you can keep, share with your family and pass on.
Your package includes:
- A series of one-to-one life-story interviews with me
- Help uncovering memories and stories worth preserving
- Development of the structure of your book
- Writing and shaping your story
- Editing and refinement
- Chapter organisation
- Cover design
- Professional page layout
- A complete digital edition
Or have your story professionally prepared as a physical book to give to your family and keep for generations. Because every life contains a different amount of story, we'll agree the scope and final price before we begin.
You bring the story. I'll create the finished piece.
Who it's for
The moment this is for
There's a parent whose stories deserve to be written down. A life you want to capture before the details fade. Or your own story, finally told. This isn't a diary or a timeline. It's a book — the one your grandchildren will reach for when they want to know who you were.
The month, stage by stage
Thirty days, one real story
Each stage brings one step. One short lesson, one page of your Creative Journal, one ready-to-use prompt. Nothing to catch up on if a day runs long — the journal holds your place.
Gather. Grace's questions open the doors. The childhood streets, the first jobs, the people who mattered. You don't need to know where to start — the method does.
Discover. The stories only you — or they — know. The details that make a life a life, not a list of dates.
Shape. Your Creative Brief becomes a structure. Chapters, turning points, the through-line that holds a whole life together.
Write. Draft the chapters, one at a time. The voice that sounds like them, or like you, telling their story.
Refine. Read it back. Cut what doesn't belong. Let the true moments carry the book.
Finish. The final read-through. The cover. The print file. A real book, ready to give.

Before you decide
Honest answers
Do I need to be a writer?
No. You bring the memories and the judgment; the method and the tools do the rest. That's the whole point.
Is this just "type a prompt, get a life story"?
No — that's exactly what we teach you to go beyond. Generic prompts make generic biographies. The method is the difference.
What if I fall behind?
Nothing expires. Every lesson and journal page stays yours, and the daily emails wait patiently in your inbox.
What if I get stuck?
The journal, the prompts and the daily lessons walk you through every stage — and the guarantee below holds.
