Questions & answers

What does it cost?

It's free to start: invite people and collect stories with no card and no time limit. When the third story arrives, $99 reserves the book, and that $99 includes your first full color 6×9 hardcover, shipped free. More copies are $49 in black and white or $79 in full color, and several copies together save up to 20%.

Will the book arrive in time for our date?

For a celebration, tell us the date when you start. Once you approve the proof, printing and delivery take 2 to 3 weeks, and we tell you the last day to order. Most families gather stories over a few weeks, so start about six weeks before the day.

Is it only for someone who has died?

No. A StoryKnit book can celebrate someone who is very much here: a 50th birthday, a 40th anniversary, a graduation. Tell us the occasion when you start, and the interviewer, the writing and the book follow.

What if someone isn't comfortable with technology?

They only need a phone or computer with a microphone. There's nothing to install: they open the link and talk, or type if they prefer. The interviewer is patient and warm, and you're welcome to sit with them while they share.

How many people can share stories?

As many as you'd like. There's no limit. Each person gets their own chapter, and every voice makes the book richer.

Can I edit the book before it prints?

Yes. You read every story before anything prints. You can edit the words, choose the chapter order and decide what goes in, and nothing prints until you approve the proof.

Who can see the stories?

Only you, as the organizer, and the StoryKnit staff who help make the book. We never sell your information or share it with advertisers.

What if I change my mind?

Before printing, we refund the whole $99, no questions asked. After printing, tell us within 30 days if the book isn't what you hoped for and we refund what you paid for it. If a book arrives damaged or misprinted, we reprint it free.

Every person holds a piece of the story
