An example of the guided questions you'll answer — no writing skill required.

Step 1

Answer guided questions

A short, thoughtful set of prompts about milestones, personality, and memories — 10 minutes, no writing required.

Step 2

We write the biography

Your answers become a warm, well-crafted narrative — not a form letter, a story worth keeping.

Step 3

Download, share, or print
