Story Submissions

Please note the following:

Some mobile devices are better than others, so submitting stories on a desktop is preferred.
While the story itself is more important than the grammar, please be sure to proofread as we do not edit stories. The story you submit is what will appear in your book. Finally, the story counter is updated daily, so you may not see an immediate change after you submit your story!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I best reach out to people to share a story?

The best place to share it, is along with any information about the funeral/memorial service/celebration of life. But you can just as easily share it over email and social media. Once your purchase your Book of Stories, we’ll send you a virtual toolkit full of story prompts, helpful pdfs, and ways to collect stories.

is there a minimum number of stories needed?

We must receive a minimum of 20 stories in order to create a book. If we don’t receive the minimum, you will have the option for a refund or to extend your time to collect more stories. If after 2 extensions, we still do not reach the minimum, you will be refunded.
