Transform A Loved One's Story into a Timeless Gift

Googled "how to get a book written & published" and Story Terrace came up. Have not been disappointed with the service I have received from start to finish. There were a couple of misunderstandings with my first interviews but these got rectified efficiently and Zoe & Alice have been extremely helpful in making my dream book become a reality.

Delighted to have at last written my story for my family! I frequently told my family that I'd like to write about my early life - so different from my own children's and grandchildren's. Realising that I perhaps never would, they signed me up with Book Terrace. I am so grateful that they did and that I have at last written my story before it's too late! It has been a most rewarding experience and everyone I have dealt with has been very pleasant, helpful and encouraging. Possibly unusually, I actually wanted to write it myself, with professional guidance. I probably did not make that clear enough from the start. My first (very lovely) writer was willing but not really at ease with what I needed. I would advise anyone wanting to use their own words to make it clear from the start before choosing a 'writer'. That is advice, in no way a criticis

From the introductory meeting to the final publication, the whole process was straightforward and professionally supported throughout. Due to close family bereavements, it was necessary to extend our deadline, and this was arranged with thoughtfulness and care. All amendments were quickly dealt with and appropriate advice provided throughout. If anyone is thinking of writing a book but not sure how to go about it, I would recommend speaking with Story Terrace and see if they can help … they certainly did with us!

I am pleased with the finished book. The editor, Martin McLauchlan, has been very helpful and supportive.

Cathartic experience I would never have been able to write the story of my son’s life without the care patience and support of Beverly who transcribed and Alice the editor. I would highly recommend StoryTerrace. Can’t thank them enough for making quite an emotional journey a really good experience.

13th Avenue : My Memoirs Correspondence between ourselves, the editor and senior writer was fluid, with guided assistance along every step of the way. The site is user friendly, and each step clearer explained.

Autobiography Ultimately we got an autobiography written for my father-in-law which is of great quality and will be cherished for generations. The entire process of writing such a book, especially for elderly person is not so easy (for lots of reasons). My main feedback to StoryTerrace would be to set better expectations for their clients. For example there is a limit to how well the ghost writer can edit the interviews - it needs someone with intimate knowledge of the person's life to really know how to properly edit, so in many ways it is a joint effort between between the ghost writer and the subject (or someone on the subject's behalf). However StoryTerrace are a professional company and are very polite and accepting of changes throughout the process. I would use them again.

Incredible life experience. A gift for life and a huge gift for my family. I found the experience therapeutic, my writer was the most kind and empathetic soul en the support with explanations and time management was hugely helpful(and needed!)

Hello to everyone,I really enjoyed doing my book,it took me deep in my memories with doing this.i want to congratulate barbara,without her.my book would have not be done the way I wanted it..she is a amazing person to work with when doing something from years ago..I've been so lucky to meet her and wish her the very best for more to come..the cover picture is lovely, but in person it don't look professional at all.im sorry about this..as the editor always replied and kept me right,what a lovely team to have..when doing something so emotional from my past.thank you very much.i appreciate it .Michelle

Brilliant way to do your story Story Terrace is an excellent company to write your own story, the personnel are very experienced and very professional, the writer allocated to me was brilliant.

Stort Terrace, You Captivate my Story perfectly Captivate my Story perfectly. It was an emotional journey going back through my traumatic childhood to this ripe old age of 74. Finding the right help for my story was not easy. Then I remembered I saw Stoyr Terrance on the BBC Dragon's Den, I then thought, what a brilliant idea to wite books for people like me who knows nothing about crafting a books? The book writting with Story Terrace has been a wonderful experience. I didnt realize that there are so many people involved in getting a book done. I am over the moon with my finish project. Everything about my book is just brilliant and beautifuliy writen. Now, I just have to say thanks to Storry Terrace and teams for such an amazing book, so happy I could cry. 10 out of 10 for a perfect book. Good job well done! One happy cliant. Etha Brace

"StoryTerrace exceeded my expectations in every way! The team was professional, supportive, and incredibly talented. The editor and writer's dedication to crafting a compelling narrative was inspiring, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking an exceptional storytelling experience!"

The team at story terrace were so supportive, most times I came short they were right on standby to give more than a helping a hand. Thumbs up to Martin my project coordinator for going over and beyon I totally enjoyed the entire process. It’s one of the most seamless processes I have ever experienced.

The best team ever!!! I was very impressed with the experience I had with StorryTerrace. The team was brilliant and extremely helpful with everything in the process! The editor and the writer really made this experience happen with so many kind emotions! You can tell these people are passionate about what they do and made all of this possible!! I highly recommend them!!!

Best birthday gift! I gifted a StoryTerrace package to my mother for her 60th birthday. She got on great with her writer and the draft was excellent! My kids can now read their grandmother's story when they are older. This wouldn't have been possible without StoryTerrace. Can't recommend them enough!

The team at StoryTerrace are amazing, really passionate about what they do and making sure you have a great experience and finished book. I enjoyed the process and the outcome, highly recommend them!

The team are so so fantastic The team are so so fantastic. Genuinely the nicest group of people I’ve worked with on a project.

An experience I cherished I was on the fence about having my story written by someone that wasn't me. But on persuasion by my family, I chose to try out StoryTerrace and it turned out to be an experience we all cherished! Going through the interviews was a nostalgic and wholesome process as my writer was very kind, understanding and fun to talk to. I had control over how my story was written and could offer my own editorial input at every stage. The designer did a wonderful job on my cover as well. Will definitely be ordering more book copies for the rest of my family and friends!

Great Experience I lost my husband last year. I wanted to write a book about his life and what a wonderful man he was. Story Terrace matched me with Stef who captured my story perfectly. Stef listened and understood my loss. Stef you are a great writer thank you. I would recommend Story Terrace to anyone who wants to write a book.

Couldn't have picked a better company to help write my book The help and support from both the editor and writer was incredible. Probably wouldn't have written my book if I didn't have such positive guidance.

To Whom It May Concern: To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to commend one of your outstanding writers; Elizabeth Tzagournis. Elizabeth was selected among a number of well qualified writers your organizarion hires to help me write my memoir. She maintains a busy schedule and I held her up a couple of times due to medical issues, but she never once complained or rushed me in any way. Quite to the contrary, she went out of her way to always be availabe whenever I needed her. Her positive attitude throughout our project together was extremely appreciative. Elizabeth is well spoken, writes well, is honest, sincere about her work, and her loyalty to Story Terrace is beyond reproach. For these reasons and many more too numerous to mention I would like to commend Elizabeth Tzagournis for her passion for excellence and a overall job well done. Respectfully, Rocky Hewitt

Book review Good communication and easy to work with the team. I’ve nearly finished my story with them and have no regrets so far

Easy, enjoyable and supportive They really matched me with the right writer, we instantly clicked and were a perfect match! The whole process was very easy and enjoyable, I felt thoroughly supported and guided throughout the process! I was sad it was over as it was such a wonderful experience.

The excellent professional ghost writer match provision The excellent ghost writer match made by the Editor for me, which made this whole experience everything and more i could have wished for.

Truly a wonderful experience! Such a wonderful experience, starting with a writer, Beverley, who gently brings out your deepest memories and crafts them into a flowing account of who you are and where you came from. I was then guided through the final stages by Hariny, who showed endless patience. The book has now been printed and delivered to me. I would highly recommend using StoryTerrace.

Great experience I purchased this as a gift for my 83 year old father. Dad was guided by Gill, his fantastic writer, through the interview and the review process. The website was clear and easy to use helping us to understand where we were in the process, and our editor was on hand to pick up anything we missed. Our proof reader was fantastic and raised some really interesting observations! I think it would be harder for someone less familiar with reviewing drafts but I would recommend StoryTerrace and thank Gill for helping Dad write his life story so beautifully.

StoryTerrace has been a life line for me, as during my depression and mental health recovery journey they assisted me to organise my thoughts when writing my story. It was via my journal, which inspired me to want to share my story with the world. I hope the book will encourage and inspire other men to share and write their story.

I wanted to arrange for my 96 year old mother to tell her story- she has had an amazing life. Story Terrace matched my mother with a lovely writer Alison who was sweet and patient as my mother told her story over a period of several months. The process was very bonding for myself my brother and my mother and now we have a wonderful book to immortalize her life.

Great journey From the onset, interacting with Hariny was pretty seemless and then the appointed writer Fuad; was very professional and to the point. All interviews with my father were promptly scheduled. drafts were timely submitted and ease of editing and uploading photos was simple as well. Final result was awesome and thoroughly immersive for my father whose life we were articulating.

I gifted a StoryTerrace book package to my friend. She had a wholesome experience with the interviews and received exceptional care from the team throughout the process. The books were of really high quality and I would 100% recommend StoryTerrace to anyone looking to pen down their life story.

I cannot thank Story Terrace enough. It was not easy to leave some of my past but I was assisted to get through by Angela and Hariny, they made it possible for me to complete my life story. It was the best present for my family, we cried together when it was all out, very therapeutic. Thank you StoryTerrace!! lucy

I was fully supported and guided through out the whole process. Your Editor and Writer were both amazing and have since recommended your service to two other of my former colleagues.

my experience was amazing The whole journey of me writing my book was so easy and i really enjoyed the experience so much so that we are going to do another,

Thoroughly impressed by Story Terrace. Such a worthwhile experience. From the first telephone call through to the final edit of my story book I was thoroughly impressed by the professional and helpful approach of the Story Terrace editor and writer. At the outset I found the idea of writing my life story quite daunting but at every stage help was on hand. I very much enjoyed being interviewed by my writer and was greatly impressed by her skills of eliciting old memories. The process of creating my life story has been amazing and so worthwhile. It will be my legacy to my grandsons.

5 star service From the beginning to the end our experience with Story Terrace was totally amazing. My son is disabled & he couldn't of written his story without the help of Crystal who spent time with my son to write his story & Hariny who put his book together, really couldn't of done it without them

Where you all come from I think the final product was excellent and serviced the interest of all my children as a record of their father's journey to their eventual existence extremely well. As a slight surprise to me was the amount of research and infills that had to be done but Nadine Wojakovski the writer did extremely well to fathom out and put into very good collation the sequential events for the story line of one's life and ancestry.The investigations both through photographs and records that one made into one's past certainly brought back quite a few almost forgotten memories to the surface both emotive and factual. Well done Nadine and Hariny and Story Terrace. Milan Varmuza

Story Terrace’s excellent service The process was very well organised and easy to follow. The author chosen was extremely professional and sensitive to personal information. A very worthwhile experience for anyone wanting to write about their life.

Produced a really good book with help… Produced a really good book with help through out the different stages. Only hick up temporarily was that AI was tried and did not work. But when this was realised it was completely rectified and it was never too much trouble to get a first class end product.

Hello Hello, I would just like to say how pleased I have been with the support from Story Terrace in taking my book project forward. I have not always been able to meet deadlines but that is because of my own business work load. However, My Project Editor and the team have always been most courteous, helpful and full of encouragement and a delight to work with. Writing a life story is both challenging and rewarding and getting the right balance of interest and brevity is important. Throughout the process I have been comfortable with sharing this information with the team and fully respected their expertise, advice and appreciated their patience. Kind regards, Charles Stevenson

I purchased this for my dad's 70th birthday. The interviews went well and online system easy to operate. Changes and edits to drafts were all done quickly. We're very happy with the finished manuscript and the printed books looks fantastic. Not cheap, but good quality and I would recommend.

Wonderful work by Story Terrace First think I would say is that I love my book ,and I know I would not achieve that without Story Terrace . From start fo finish the experience of how everything was planned for me . A massive thank to Nicola Rayner who understud me completely and did such an amazing work writing this book with me .

The books I got are a literary feast for the mind—each page turn feels like a new adventure, and my bookshelf has never looked happier!

With special thanks to author and editor- what a team! With special thanks to editor Victoria Fox who has been very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. And also special thanks to author Gillian Monks, who has helped and supported me telling/writing my life’s story. I had wanted to do this for years and having now experienced the amount of thought and work it takes, I could not have done it without you. Thank you both for making the process as easy as possible. What a great team! I’m proud of my book and have copies to pass down the generations. Thank you. June Rimmer

Story Terrace helped me put my story together. I had been thinking about it for at least two decades, but it was the support I got from Fuad the writer and Victoria, my editor that made it all happen. Fuad was very organised, supportive and kind. he gave me the structure, the style and a lot of the words. Victoria was efficient, very prompt And helpful. Both were most encouraging and often more enthusiastic than I was about the project. I am very grateful To them for all their help. Without them, none of it would have happened. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting to write their story.

Team work It has been some process and I am pleased it is done. Audrey the writer did well to capture the core of my story from my frame. Despite circumstances that happened in her personal circumstances, she persevered and completed the draft. Thank you! There were some hiccups in the administrative process until Victoria took over . Victoria was exceptional in bringing this process to completion as recalling history triggered some deep emotions and consequences of not being able to continue with amending the draft. Victoria’s understanding and sensitivity enables me to finally complete. Thank you! It was a providential process for me to empower me to manage my inner world more effectively. I am thankful

Fantastic experience and thrilled with the output Story Terrace was an exceptional service from beginning to end. We are absolutely thrilled with the end result, a book about our mum which we will treasure forever. Thank you to the writer Angela Hindle the editor Martin McLauchlan for making the process enjoyable and the output so successful and for their endless patience with our fine tuning and edits and tweaks. So professional and so helpful and personal. Thank you for everything.

My was satisfactory experience with story Terrace was… My experience with story Terrace was good I had an excellent person who helped to put it altogether.I would agree with one of your writers I didn’t realise that there was a time limit & word limit, so I felt a bit rushed in the end.! My one complaint is with Amazon I ordered a couple of my books for family members, when they arrived I was disgusted it was a flimsy paperback all my photos were in black& white & not very good quality at all so returned them & complained. So would feel ver distressed if any one else had tried to purchase one if they received one like that, I would be totally embarrassed. Otherwise I am pleased with my book.

My husband had spoken about writing his autobiography for years My husband had spoken about writing his autobiography for years but it became apparent that he would never get around to it!! We then saw an ad for Storyterrace and thought it would be the perfect solution. We were extremely lucky that our writer was Zoe Apostolides who was very experienced and a joy to work with. She put Steve at his ease and translated his stories into a wonderful book which will be of great interest to our grandchildren and future generations. Victoria Fox was our Project Editor who was always on hand to deal with any queries andn was really helpful throughout the process. We are so very pleased that we finally have a wonderful book.

World Series Bowls .....the story Well, just an absolutely amazing experience! Supported by professional and enthusiastic partner people I felt able to go beyond what I thought I was capable of. Phil Dourado my 'brick & mentor'. As an aspiring writer these are the guys you need to be with !

I can only recommend I can only recommend. Of course, it takes the right people. Writer was Ruth - fantastic. She grabbed the idea and put her heart in getting into my story. Victoria who dealt with getting me over the final hurdles was a real "Gem". For people who complain, like every written project, it takes application and time.

My experience with Story Terrace was really great. They took a novice writer and story teller and turned me into a competent writer and story teller. I am simply grateful to them and their services. There aren't many words to describe their services that could do them justice, except professional, friendly, smart, reliable and competent. Thank you story Terrace especially - Gill Chilton (Interviewer) and James Bateman (A.I. Manager) for all your support from beginning to completion and making a girls dreams come true of writing a book. Ms Sonia Sarah Donkor.

My Mum’s story My mother’s story actually happened because of Ant’s wonderful sessions sitting, listening and encouraging Mum to remember . Ant was great and really made this possible for mum. Victoria encouraged, organised and sorted so we have created a wonderful family memory and Mum has told her fascinating story. Thank you all.

You couldn't do better than Story Terrace What a great experience it was working with Story Terrace. My experience was a gift from my daughter which I found rather daunting. However, working with Josephine Galvin and Victoria Fox soon encouraged me to enjoy the experience. Victoria was a great presence especially coming towards the end and I felt Josephine became my friend. Now I've finished it I realise I've missed out so much but, hopefully, what I have done will prove amusing which is what I was aiming for. Thank you ladies for your support and encouragement, I'd have found it much more difficult without you.

Story Terrace are amazing Story Terrace are amazing! They paired my Mum up with a fabulous writer (Ant) and lovely editor (Victoria) to make my Mum's memoir dream a reality... Time was against them as Mum was diagnosed with brain cancer at the outset but they rose to the deadline and got the book finished and off to print in just 3 months. They were both an absolute pleasure to work with and succeeded in producing a book that resounds with the essence of every eccentric detail that is my mum...As I read I can hear her voice telling every story!!...what a precious legacy and gift for her to leave me and my kids!! Thankyou Ant, Victoria and all those behind the scenes at Story Terrace!!!

Story Terrace is second to none when it… Story Terrace is second to none when it comes to assisting want to be book writers tell their story. They are patient, professional & friendly. And go above & beyond to help their clients. My biography book turned out better then expected... so I will highly recommend them to anyone wanting help to write a book and get it published.

The company is doing a fantastic job The company is doing a fantastic job. They helped me from start to finish. I appreciate Kate Rose , Hanna and Victoria Fox for their unending supports. I am very grateful I appreciate Victoria Smith and the entire team. Thank you very much Hope to keep in touch again soon

This review is for Story Terrace! The Best This review is for Story Terrace! I just completed my third book "The Art Of Aging". All my past experiences with Story Terrace were great. This latest experience was by far the best.My project manager Xiaofang Ma connected me with an exceptional writer Jodi Potgeter. Xiaofang saw to it that my every need was taken care of immediately and therefore this whole writing process was a fulfilling and joyful experience. My writer Jodi Potgeter is intelligent, a great listener, and a very gifted writer. She contributed much to my book and delivered more than I expected. I am grateful to have such a great outcome and would highly recommend Story Terrace to everyone.

My Life Story My son said that I should write my life story and produced a new pocket dictation machine to encourage me to do so but giving it thought, I decided to go the Story Terrace way instead. A wise decision. It has been a rewarding journey. My suggested writer and appointed editor I do not think could have been bettered. Both, backed by the Company have been exemplary, the whole project progressing smoothly from start to finish. It has been rewarding to work with people who not only did a good job but that I liked and with whom I got on well.

Amazing Experience Just completed my book which has gone for print. So Excited! It has taken slightly longer to complete, as I dipped into my mental.health in between the project. However StoryTerrace has been nothing but patient and accommodating. Gill has been such an amazing writer to work with. Editors and the team of StoryTerrace have been so helpful in completing the book, which I hope helps others when published. Covers men's mental health. It has helped me to organise my thoughts and share my journey to encourage others to tell their story and share with the world.

More than impressed ! Gill my writer has great skill and empathy and really understood the message of my book. Victoria and James were there for me at every stage and provided a World Class service. I highly recommed Story Terrace !!

This was a present from my youngest son… This was a present from my youngest son who being in the armed forces was fascinated to have his and my family history recorded for himself and his siblings. The path to conclusion was certainly not straight forward but the efforts of Nadine the writer and at the end Hariny the editor brought the whole tome together .

Re write success I thought I was purchasing a ghost writer, but that it would be a collaborative process.When this was not the package I thought it would be, my editors worked with me to allow me to use the writers outline and to write my story myself. I am thrilled with my book!

Great partner to write a story Story Terrace is the best partner you can have if you want to write a story. They provide you with ghostwriters to fit the type of story you want to tell others. From biographies to fiction their writers cover the entire spectrum. They also provide you with an easy to use platform to edit and produce a hardcopy version of your book with a beautiful and bespoke cover that you can design yourself. You can also include pictures and the end result is a top quality book. I give them top marks!

Our book "We have luck" is ready … Our book "We have luck" is ready and we are very happy with it. We had pretty connections with Freek Wolff and a good contact with Kim and Laura. We want to thank them for their help and advice. Freek Wolff was a good listener and had the feeling to make a good story from all the information he got from us, during the conversations we had with him. Chapeau !

This company helps people like me tell their stories This company helps people like me tell their own stories in a cost effective but high quality way using technology and great ghostwriters. A big thank you to Paul Pringle and Elizabeth DiPietro. Paul was a very insightful ghost writer that made the story better and Elizabeth made sure everything came into place nicely to produce a great book with great pictures! Thank you StoryTerrace!

Excellent service throughout Excellent service throughout. The writing and editing was done by Clare Pugh. Due to major health problems the project was shelved before completion, restarting after a couple of years. Clare had moved on from Story Terrace although she has become a personal friend of the subject, Pamela, and the project was completed efficiently and sympathetically by Penny Clark.

Patience and understanding Following the passing of my mother, I attempted to complete her project with story terrance. I got in contact with Beverly who was very empathetic to my situation . I was then assigned to Marguerite for final edits etc. Her patience and empathetic approach provided me with the necessary strength and hope to carry on with my mothers book after her recent passing. I never felt rushed to find the words to complete the project or that my emotional state was misunderstood. Grateful for Marguerites warmth and support as I navigated through the experience.

Everything about our experience with…StoryTeller was a a great way to relive my husband's success. Everything about our experience with StoryTerrace was great except our first author. She was replaced and during the interview process she just let us speak and did almost zero followup questions. Philip was fantastic and made the story come to life.

Memories of our lives The best feature of the experience was the skill and warmth of our writer, Carole Richardson. She listened carefully and was expert at interpreting our memories into the final book. It was truly a pleasure to meet with Carole and see the project unfold. She is an excellent writer and a sympathetic and understanding person. Administration was smoothly handled by Lara and her team.

A difficult time made easier by Martin Martin was very helpful and understanding as well as very professional, he helped us through a very trumatic time, and his advice was most appreciated, he helped us reach our final goal in finishing our book, we would always look to Martin with any future projects. many grateful thanks

An amazing experience and a very… An amazing experience and a very professional service! Lara and the team have created a wonderful book for our family to treasure forever! We couldn’t have created this without the great team behind story terrace. Neil and Sital

This book store is a true paradise for… This book store is a true paradise for book lovers. Their wide selection of titles ensures there's something for every reader, and the positive reviews I've read online were spot-on. What impressed me even more was their fast delivery process. My order arrived sooner than expected, and the books were well-packaged, ensuring they arrived in perfect condition.

wonderful experience and the best memory for my dad I had a great experience working with Story Terrace. From start to finish the editors and writers were so engaged with the biography of my dad. Marguerite O'Callaghan, my editor, and Gill Chilton, my writer, were wonderful to work with. They fully understood the time pressure I was in given that my dad was dying of cancer. Sensitive throughout the process, they never rushed me or pressured me. Yet they were kind and considerate. Most importantly I truly believe they liked my dad just from writing his story, as they unfortunately overlapped with him for only a short while before he passed away. Luckily 5 days before he died Dad saw the finished printed book. And he was happy too. When everyone came to his funeral, we had the 3 books lying around and everyone wanted to read it all at the same time! Even now when I read the book and look through the photos it makes me smile and helps erase less happy times of him in hospital. Thanks Gill and Marguerite for helping print his memories and for everything xx

A tough job, done well Priya and Corinna were very good at getting the job done! I was ill during the process and they worked with me and pushed hard to get the project completed. StoryTerrace has a core challenge in that it has to complete projects on time to ensure their costs dont overrun, whilst combining this with understanding people's emotions, drivers, passions and personal journeys. These, quite frankly, are huge and unfiltered which can be massively challenging to refine but I was happy with Corinna's skill as a writer in doing this for my family. Well done on navitgating the challenges and thank you for your support throughout. We got there in the end Priya!

I found that the writer that I had was… I found that the writer that I had was fantastic to talk to and I felt at ease and could have talked to him all the time. I liked the way the payments went and would recommend anyone who wants to write a story to use story Terrace.

The Boy From the Toon My son Jamie had been trying to get me to put my life story to print for a long time but I was always unsure if I wanted to do that but in the end I said OK and he introduced me to Garth Cartwright who paid me a visit and I was a bit wary of telling a total stranger about my life but Garth was very helpful and set me on the course of getting my history/story going. Once I started I found it quite enlightening to remind myself about everything I had done (and still doing!) along the way. I'm 71 now so it went on a bit, then a bit more and another bit ;0) Very happy with the end result and thanks to Garth and enjoyed our meetings to get it done.

This was a such a rollercoaster 🎢 of a ride Had to change writers 25% in With was handled brilliantly Found a system of voice mail And transcribe Then Craig did his thing It was amazing curve of learning And definitely not that last project myself and Craig will do together ❤️❤️❤️

Everyone should do this Cathartic, emotional, thought provoking, memory jogging, perspective gaining experience. I wanted to make sure I got some memories down on paper before they were lot, the process made me recall some things that already were. I enjoyed every step of the process, even if no one even reads what has been written it has been so worth it. I cannot recommend StoryTerrace enough, the whole process is great from the selection of an author, through the interviews, even the editing was fantastic

I had a good experience writing my memoire I had a good experience writing my memoire with Story terrace. I spoke and Andrea listened asked questions and recorded. The first draft read like me speaking with all the ticks of verbal speech, rather than a more flowing written text. Further drafts were gradually corrected. I am not very technical consequently correcting text took me longer. The editors who worked with me were throughout most cooperative, giving useful advice and very patient. I am grateful to Marguerite who guided me through the final stages, always finding solutions to technical questions. The process overall was hampered by covid. I look forward to receiving the book in a couple of weeks time. Thanks storyterrace

Loved the whole journey! Writing our book was a wonderful experience for the family. Our writer Audrey was so professional and friendly every step of the way and helped us to remember so much. Priya was also so professional, patient and nothing was a trouble at all.

Very good experience! Overall I had a good experience with Story Terrace. The editor was very patient and resourceful. I was given the opportunity to meet the deadlines set for me and they helped to tell my life's story. I have no complaints, Story Terrace met my expectations and I am pleased with the service. Bernard Bale was a great writer and I recommend his expertise.

In my own words…. The idea of the book was a gift from my son Mark and his wife Melody. While i did not fancy writing intimidate aspects of my life i relented. I enjoyed working with Sarah Strickland, the writer, who has been fabulous is defining the story and structuring it so that it covered the salient points i made in the book. Sarah was very cooperative and bent over backward to make the book convey my story. I highly recommend working with Sarah.

Once airborne a short flight to touchdown Great help from Steph Lucas lots of encouragement and help. Finished in just over a week after stalling for months. My fault. Great experience and the finished book is fabulous. Thank you to Jason the writer and Steph Lucas the editor.

We were bought our book by our… We were bought our book by our daughters for our 80th Birthdays in 2022. It was quite a long `remembering' process and our writer Claire Middleton was prepared to go at our pace and even allow us to do a lot of the writing - which she later corrected! The books are beautiful - a good size and nicely printed. Just one thing which we were not happy about -we had no idea there were penalties to be incurred if we went over the allotted time and so when we were informed of that we felt we had to finish it very quickly - perhaps not checking the final script as carefully as we would otherwise have done.

Story Terrace opened a door for me to… Story Terrace opened a door for me to write a book. I wrote a book some years ago but information I got said I must get an agent or publisher to print and publish my book. I tried but failed. Story Terrace appeared and I was able to have my dream fulfilled. They helped me in two important ways. I was provided with a professional writer who helped me, writing down my thoughts, structuring it, and literally wrote it all down and made it into my book. It was printed and published. I got help from the office also. They answered all my queries They knew their business, which gave me confidence, all the way. I think for many like me who didn't know how to get their book done, Story Terrace is the answer.

A mother's story for her son I'd held my story in my head for 14 years and finally StoryTerrace have brought it to life....in the most beautiful way. A huge thank you to everyone involved. The process has been smooth, encouraging, thoughtful, enthusiastic and a pleasure. I would highly recommend StoryTerrace to anyone who has a story they wish to tell. My story is for my son and maybe one day he will wish to share but, for now, I can feel relieved that he finally has hold of "his story".

Great result! I have just finished ‘the book’ and am delighted. The whole process was very supportive and my ‘ghost’ writer was excellent, moderately local and understood where I was coming from. Furthermore they didn’t put undue pressure to finish - just gentle encouragement. I would definitely recommend Story Terrace to anyone with a family history to write.

50th Wedding Anniversary present… We received this as a 50th Wedding present. Neither my husband nor myself are very technological but the people at Storyterrace were kind and helpful. We started off with a very nice lady as our Editor and then she was followed by Alexia and Victoria - all very kind and patient! That makes such a difference. Our writer Stef was so friendly and understanding with an obvious gift for writing, expressing things in a way we were happy with. I had not heard of Storyterrace and it was an interesting and thought-provoking experience. David and Liz Kerry

So many thanks … Help was available all through the process. I am not brilliant with technology, but nothing was to much trouble. Special thanks to Alice McGuigan, everybody in-between and Sandra Rehme, who helped me to complete the book and nothing was to much trouble, she had the patients of a saint. Thank you all..

A considerate company when dealing with elderly We had been given a wonderful writer for Dad to tell his story to. We were able to type stuff up and send it over when Dad told me things in between. As Dad's health was up and down due to his serious ill health and hospital appointments all involved with us from Story Terrace were very understanding. I had to finish the book by adding pictures after Dad passed away. Again as this was hard for me they were understanding. The book produced was great and due once published I was able to get more copies at their cost to send to relatives and friends. Great comments from all who have seen or had a copy of the book. They wrote how Dad wanted it. With facts and in chronological order. Payments were easy to make and knowing I still have Dad with me through his words his worth the money it cost me.

Jon from the sales team has been absolutely brilliant I have now been working with Jon from sales team and he has been absolutely brilliant. He has made the whole experience a fun and professional one. I can not speak highly enough of the job he has done to have my book, Citizen Framed now available for purchase on Amazon. I am now officially a happy customer 😊👍

I really enjoyed and found the… I really enjoyed and found the interviews with Gregg interesting and helpful. They brought back all sorts of memories that had laid dormant for decades. The process made me question a lot of things that I never expected. Am I an egotist for doing this, have I regrets, what have I achieved, have I filled my time on the planet positively, it was a cathartic experience not always comfortable but definitely worthwhile. One thing I felt was that I’d barely scratched the surface and there was a lot more to explore. As a not especially hi functioning computer person I found the photo uploads a bit difficult.

I cannot recommend StoryTerrace enough-… I cannot recommend StoryTerrace enough- and will tell anyone who will listen about them. I came across them and arranged an introductory call about getting my mothers story in a book. I hoped they would find someone suitable as her story is about a very specific time and place, they surpassed my expectations. The writer we worked with Neda Neynska is phenomenally talented and Priya Visavadia was a very patient and helpful project editor. We will be forever grateful.

StoryTerrace is enabler I was a bit anxious to start telling my life story to people I never new from Adam’s and virtually. Found them very cooperative, motivators and understanding proven by the outcome. All I can say is thank you very much!

Everyone at Story Terrace that I dealt with have been wonderful Everyone at Story Terrace that I dealt with: Barbara Fox, Martin McLauchlan, Jon Malysiak have been wonderful. Nothing has been too much trouble for them. This meant that putting my book "On God's Train" together, has been a pleasure. If I may say so, I think that the costs involved with ST have been rather high.

The whole experience was smooth The whole experience was smooth. No hiccups. My writer was amazing. Mark winder was efficient and communicated what I wanted to say, very well. The support from the office was excellent. My book is now at the printers and I can’t wait .

Thank you so much to the team at Story Terrace much love and gratitude form the Confident Beauty Thank you so much to the team at Story Terrace, your service and journey in helping me write my careers life story was such an inspirational learning experience from start to finish.

I loved the whole experience and would highly recommend this service to anyone. Thank you Carla@confidentbeauty

Fantastic all-round experience and quality of writing Fantastic all-round experience with Penny, Frances and the whole StoryTerrace team. The writing, interview experience, process management and final print quality of the "novella" book exceeded all expectations on our side. We're ordering several more copies to share with the wider family. Thank you to the whole team.

I would just like to say how pleased I… I would just like to say how pleased I was with the whole experience of writing my book. Suzi Finlay the writer showed great patience and fully understood the story I wanted to tell. She wrote the words exactly in the way I wanted and I am very pleased with the finished article. The back office support from Hariny Vanniarajan was also excellent. I would thoroughly recommend Story Terrace to anyone wanting to tell their life story.

The whole process went very smoothly The whole process went very smoothly. Thanks to Barbara Fox who wrote it up from some extended interviews; thanks to Martin McLauchlan, my Editor who had to deal with a flurry of emails from me, and thanks, now, to Jon who is taking the book forward. All first-rate!
