The whole idea

A cream Bakelite rotary telephone

Just a phone
call. And your
story.

A dark green hardcover biography with foil-stamped title

You pick the time.

Weekly, monthly, or whatever leaves room in your week.

An interviewer calls.

A voice on the phone, ready to hear your life the way you tell it.

You talk. We do the rest.

No writing, no typing, no app to install. Just a conversation.

Listen

What a phone call sounds like.

A minute from a sample conversation, so you can hear the tone before you decide.

Sample interview

0:000:00

A short excerpt. Real calls run 25 to 55 minutes.

The invitation

An older woman with silver hair in a soft bun and a cream cardigan, seated in a warmly lit study beside a large window and a wall of leather-spined books, chin resting on her hand as she gazes thoughtfully out of frame.

“She’d tell you
the whole story
if you only asked.”

We ask. Weekly or monthly, at a time that suits you. Just a phone call. Nothing to install, no video, no camera to face.

When the chapters are ready, we bind your book. A single hardcover volume you keep, made to sit on a shelf and be pulled down again.

The method

Three steps.
One life.

An elderly woman in a straw sun-hat and navy gardening apron, holding a cordless cream telephone to her ear while carrying a basket of freshly-cut cottage-garden flowers.
1Chapter One

You choose the cadence.

Weekly, every other week, or monthly. You pick. Sessions are scheduled at times that suit you and you can move any of them with a text.

2Chapter Two

We call. You talk.

An interviewer rings you on the phone. Questions adapt to what you've already told it, so the conversation follows where your story takes it. Recordings and transcripts are yours to keep. *

3Chapter Three

We bind the book.

Each recording is transcribed and edited into chapters. You review a proof, pick the photographs and any dedications, and we print and bind the finished volume.

The editions

Three editions.
One life at a time.

Three hand-bound biographies stood up together: a green Eleanor's Biography, a burgundy John's Memoirs, and a navy Life of Charlotte.

Questions

Often
asked.

Who is on the other end of the phone?
An AI voice agent. We've trained it to interview the way a good biographer would: to ask a decent follow-up, to let silences sit, to follow you when a story starts unfolding. It should feel closer to a conversation with a curious friend than a survey.
Can I do this for a parent or grandparent?
Yes. This is how most people find us. You reserve on their behalf, we call them at times you agree with them, and the finished books ship to whichever address you choose.
How long does the whole thing take?
Most books take four to nine months of regular conversations, then a review period, then about six weeks in the bindery. You set the pace.
What if we miss a call?
Move any session with a text. If something comes up, we reschedule. We'd rather push a week than rush a session.
Who owns the recordings and transcripts?
You do. Every recording and transcript belongs to you, and we hand them over at the end alongside the printed volumes.
How does this compare to hiring a professional biographer?
A traditional ghostwriter or memoirist charges £8,000 to £25,000 for a book of this length, priced against 60 to 120 hours of professional interviewing and writing time. We produce a comparable finished volume for a fraction of that because the interviewing and first pass of editing are automated. An editor still shapes the manuscript before it goes to print.
Is my £20 deposit refundable?
Yes. It reserves your early-access spot and 20% launch discount, and it comes off the price of your book when you go ahead. If you change your mind, we refund it without asking why.
