Tell Me

A memoir, told out loud

Your grandmother's stories deserve more than memory.

We ask one question a week. She answers out loud, in her own kitchen, in her own voice. A year later, the family holds a printed book.

Three steps, one year, one book

Speak, don't type

Each week brings one question. Press record and simply talk — five minutes is plenty.

We write it down

Your voice becomes clean, readable text you can edit chapter by chapter, in your own words.

Hold the book

When the story is told, we typeset it and print a linen hardcover for the whole family.

The questions we ask

Gentle, specific and ordered so that a life unfolds naturally — from the first remembered morning to the advice worth keeping.

  • Where were you born, and what is your earliest memory of that place?
  • Tell me about your parents — what were they like to live with?
  • What did your childhood home smell like on an ordinary morning?
  • Who was your closest friend when you were a child?
  • What was school like for you? Was there a teacher you never forgot?
