Family Legacy Books™
Pass on your stories to the next generations.
Do you or a loved one have stories to tell that you would like to share with your family? Do you wish you could still read the stories your parents or grandparents told you?
With a Family Legacy Book™, you can provide the leaves on the family tree, the familiar stories and the ones not yet told. Our trained listeners and skilled writers will make sure that your family's legacy is there for generations to come.
Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality. – Dalai Lama

The FLB™ Journey
Introduction
We review the stories you want to share and those your family is keen you tell.
By means of a discovery call and onboarding questionnaire, we ensure our process is an excellent fit.
Story Exploration
We pair you with a Story Explorer who, through guided conversations, helps you tell your life story.
The experience provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on your life and an environment to contemplate your legacy.
Story Structuring
One of our Story Architects works with the content created in the Story Exploration phase and begins to complete the first draft of your manuscript.
During this phase, we analyze the content for story arc and character development to ensure great storytelling.
Where needed, we schedule time with you to flesh out more details.
Story Magic
In this stage, you work with a Storyteller to complete the manuscript of your book.
In our experience, everyone has a story, but not everyone is a great storyteller. We make sure yours is a compelling read.
We ensure pace, flow, and voice bring all elements of your story to life.
We prepare the manuscript for editing.
The Product Journey
Editing
By the end of this phase, we will have the finished manuscript text.
We go through the three stages of editing; developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading the first version of the manuscript.
Design
This phase takes your manuscript and turns it into beautifully designed, print-ready files.
We work on text formatting, typography, imagery layout, and jacket design and provide a finished file ready for the second proofreading.
Printing
Working with one of our print specialists, you will select your paper and print materials.
Your print-ready files are sent to the press to turn into hard copies.
You and the team receive sample copies for a third proofread.
With everything approved, we are ready for distribution, and a box of books will be arriving at your door.
Distribution
We take care of setting up your title with over 32,000 online stores, book shops, libraries, and schools.
Our marketing team works with our distributors to facilitate the ideal strategy for where and how your book is sold.
Your book is now on sale for the world to buy.
Notes:
For books with illustrations and designs, we commence those in the Story Exploration phase.
We work with you to collect back cover quotes and advance praise.
