We created Story Terrace for people just like you..
[ut_dropcap style=”one”] W [/ut_dropcap] e believe that anyone who meets our writers or experiences our unique way of capturing the stories that matter is going to love our service. But the Story Terrace concept is a brand new idea — so for anyone wondering, “is Story Terrace for me?”, here are a few answers to one big question: Why would I (or anyone else) want a book about me?
1. Why buy a book for yourself?
[ut_dropcap style=”one”] W [/ut_dropcap] ell, first things first, don’t be too harsh on yourself! Everybody’s life story is meaningful: each of us has personal lived experience that (if you think about it) is richer and more complex than the greatest works of fiction. We’re here to help you capture it.
Lots of our customers have experienced or achieved things they want to reflect on. For them, buying a Story Terrace book is as much about the interview and writing experience as it is the finished product. Story Terrace customer Teresa Samuels says, “making [my] 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.”
We also deeply believe you can’t overestimate how important your story is to your family. Sue Hodges came to Story Terrace because, as she puts it, “I decided to put all my stories together, for my children and grandchildren.” Everybody has a need to know their origins – where they came from. To your kids or grandkids, your experiences are part of their story too.
2. Books about loved ones
The other side of the coin — the book doesn’t have to be about you! It could be about a family member, friend or partner. Many of our customers want to discover their parents or grandparents stories. Our founder, Rutger, started StoryTerrace because he regretted not writing down his grandpa’s tales. We’ve all thought about recording our family stories — we’re here to make it a reality.
We know they’ll love the experience — because we’re the only biography writing service to pair you with a dedicated writer and interviewer. That relationship makes the whole book-creation process personal. And at the end, you both get beautiful books with stories to share. It’s a win-win!
3. Buying as a gift
Our service makes a fantastic gift – it’s a bespoke experience, and a beautiful product, all in one. Here are just a few great ideas:
- Wedding & Engagement gifts – A Story Terrace book can capture a couple’s own love story, from the very first date, to the big day itself. Plus you’ll get a welcome package you can present as a gift at the ceremony.
- Anniversaries – We can create fantastic books for couples, with extra interviews to capture the whole story. Just get in touch to request a quote.
- Community leaders – Are you part of a community with an inspirational leader? You can get together to create a beautiful gift that honours their work.
- Retirement gifts – Is someone in your family or workplace retiring soon? Mark their achievement with a unique book that chronicles their career and shows just how much their contribution has been valued.
