Why people look for an alternative

Storyworth follows one storyteller. Many families want brothers, sisters and grandchildren to add their own memories too.
Some parents would rather speak than type.
Some buyers don't want anything that renews.
Families remembering someone who has died need different questions entirely.

What makes Go Family Story different

Instead of one person writing alone, a Go Family Story space is built by the family. You open it for your mum or dad and invite your siblings. Each of them gets questions about their own memories of that parent, and the parent gets questions about their own life. The person it's for sees nothing until you press Give the gift.

Go Family Story's Keepsake Gift is $59, paid once. It opens one private story space for a full year, with 100 questions written for that exact relationship and another 100 whenever you ask (up to 1,000), free for every brother, sister and friend who joins. Answers become a book you can read, print or save as a PDF.

There is no printed hardcover included — the book is digital and printable at home or at any print shop. If a bound book in the post matters most, Storyworth or Remento may suit you better.
