Create your legacy
You talk, and I craft your legacy book.
Call me anytime.

Three options
I provide personal phone support for all three.
The Keepsake
$59. You record your stories at scribora.co/record, and I turn them into a keepsake hardcover book. Your first 6x9 hardcover copy is included, and additional copies are just $59. You may have up to four hours of recording. The difference between This option and the other two is that you do the recordings yourself, and there are no photos.
Your Memoir
$495. This is not DIY. Instead, together we have up to five guided conversations over the phone. I record them and turn them into a beautiful memoir. There's room for 40 of your favorite photos. You receive one free 8x10 color heirloom quality hardcover book. This is all hand-crafted work, and I make sure you are thrilled with the final result.
Your Heritage
$995. We can have up to 10 hours of guided phone conversations. Room to tell everything. We also have room for an entire photo album- up to 100 photos. And even a couple family trees! This legacy album can hold up to 450 pages in a quality Smyth-sewn binding, 8x10 hardcover, printed with certified G7 color consistency. If you want the best, this is your answer.
The Keepsake — $59
Your memories—short or long—are recorded and shaped into a beautiful book.
Even 60 minutes is enough for a book.
And get this—your grandchildren can hear your voice as you tell your stories! Your audio recordings are linked inside your book by QR codes! (Your grandkids know what those are.)
When your family scans the QR code, they will hear you telling your story as they read along!
Your book can include up to four hours of recordings. That's about 200 pages. Each story recording is linked at the top of the story to your voice telling the story. It's printed in hardcover, 6x9 size.
You can record here.
See my own short story: My True Love
Your first book is included. No strings attached. Additional copies are just $59.
Your Memoir — $495
Your Memoir can include up to five hours of guided interviews with me or a member of my team. That's about 250 pages. Each chapter has a QR code at the beginning that links to your voice telling the story.
You never have to record by yourself!
Your Memoir is printed in a high-quality 8x10 hardcover, on 80lb satin paper, with 95 opacity, using G7 color consistency, and Smyth‑sewn binding. (Those are the threads in the binding that hold your book together better than just glue.)
It's a premium top-of-the-line book meant to be treasured for generations. No one prints quality like OnPress.
Your Memoir can include up to 40 photos. I can optionally digitally restore any photos that have degraded over time.

Your Heritage — $995

The Your Heritage option includes up to 10 hours of guided interviews and can include up to 450 pages, including 100 color photos and optional family trees at the beginning.

QR Codes
Each story begins with a QR code that links to the original audio of you telling that story.
We used to keep these recordings at StoryCorps but now save them at the Internet Archive (archive.org) for archival reasons. As long as there is an Internet, there will be the Internet Archive.
