Testimonials
“Had it not been for Story Terrace, I would have never got around to writing my life story …The quality of the book – the choice of font, paper, general layout of text and photographs – was first class…”
“From the very first contact, I knew I had made the right choice! Emily from Story Terrace was so helpful and the communication was perfect. I knew where I was every step of the way. The book (which was a surprise for my husband’s 40th) was a real success and Judy (the writer) captured the story perfectly. I really enjoyed the process.”
"Story Terrace’s flexible and informal, but professional approach and the reasonable price suited me well — so I could relax, trust and open my heart, ensuring that my intention was understood correctly and the text captured my authentic voice."
"Story Terrace was at all times caring and helpful during a sensitive process. It's a hardcover with shiny pages and lots of photographs - and I think everyone should do it. I'm lost for words. I would recommend that people did it because it's a great thing to pass on to your children and grandchildren."
"Making this book has given me the time to reflect on what I chose to do with my life and the people who have helped me along the way.”
"I loved Amy (my writer). She was a delightful person. We had 3 sessions which she recorded. She then made a great 1st draft. I would give the overall experience a 5 of 5. I will certainly recommend this to other families and friends…"
