LifeBook Memoirs

LifeBook Memoirs LifeBook Memoirs is the world’s leading private autobiography specialist. LifeBook's founder Roy's story: For me, LifeBook has been a very personal experience.

Each LifeBook is a unique piece of family history, a handcrafted treasure for generations to come. It started with my father, Jules, who had so many stories to tell but for whom I had no time – I was far too busy with my own life. In his final years, Dad had become blind and was starting to shut down, to the point he felt he no longer had anything to contribute. He tried to talk to me but I wasn’t

listening; after all, I had heard it all so many times before. I felt guilty and had to come up with a solution – what then happened turned out to be the precursor to LifeBook. I arranged for a family friend, Kathy, to visit Dad every week for an interview in which he could talk as much as he wanted about his precious memories. Of course, it was all new to her and he welcomed her enquiries as his story unfolded. A further advantage was that between interviews he was able to prepare by reminiscing and writing notes, which gave him something positive to occupy his time. Once he had started, he found (as he put it) he was remembering things he hadn’t realised he had forgotten. The end result was a precious LifeBook containing all his stories, including some that were new to me. For example, I now know that one of my ancestors was King of Poland, although apparently only for one night! But more than that, I have a permanent reminder of Dad, now, sadly, deceased, that I will treasure forever. Roy Moëd – Founder

A family heirloom can be valuable, but without its story it is incomplete. In this clip from our Palm Beach salon event, Sebastian Clarke from Heritage Auctions reflects on something we often overlook—that meaning doesn’t come from objects themselves but from the stories behind them. Why was that object chosen? What story does it carry? Whether it’s a vintage watch, a photograph, or a treasured keepsake, the real value is unlocked through understanding its meaning. At LifeBook Memoirs, this idea is at the heart of what we do. We believe the same is true of every life story—it is the context, the stories, and the memories that transform a life into a legacy. Let us help you preserve that legacy. Find out more in our bio.

Why do we want to be remembered after we die? It’s a question that touches something profoundly human in all of us.

A recent BBC article explored this very question and offered an insight that resonated deeply with us: “Research suggests that what people most want to pass on as their legacy are values and beliefs such as kindness and the importance of helping others.”

Perhaps the real question is not whether we leave something behind but whether we take the time to share what truly matters while we still can. What would you most want future generations to know about you?

When A***n gifted a LifeBook to his father, he hoped it would help preserve his fading memories. What he may not have realized was that the gift would become just as meaningful for his own children.

After her grandfather passed away, A***n’s daughter read his memoir and found something priceless: his stories, memories, thoughts, and voice preserved forever. "It’s like a piece of him is still with me," she said.

That’s the power of gifting a LifeBook: a present for your loved one today and a legacy for generations yet to come.

What we hear again and again is the desire to know that a life mattered.

In this clip, LifeBook ghostwriter Kelly reflects on one of the deepest parts of the memoir journey: the human need to understand our lives not just as moments, but as meaning.

As people revisit their memories, relationships, successes, failures, and defining experiences, something powerful often happens—they begin to see the shape and purpose of the life they’ve built. And in preserving those stories for future generations, they create something that outlives them.

That’s the true power of a LifeBook. Let us help you to write yours.

Client testimonials 💬

Have you ever wondered what your life story would mean to the people you love most? When Carol began writing her LifeBook, she thought she was creating “a little piece of immortality.” What she didn’t expect was the profound response from her friends and family.

Friends called her memoir “a work of art.” Family members said they couldn’t put it down. But it was her son quietly taking the book to work and sharing it with colleagues that meant the most to Carol.

We’re so honored to have helped Carol create something her family will treasure for generations. Thinking about preserving your own family history? This is your sign to begin.

For LifeBook author Ivan, writing his memoir was a reflective experience, but revisiting the photographs he included was deeply emotional. Seeing images of his children as babies and revisiting memories of his wife and cherished family moments spanning 65 years of marriage brought his story back to life in a way that words alone could not.

At LifeBook Memoirs, we lovingly restore treasured photographs, repairing faded and damaged images to be beautifully preserved within each memoir and passed on for generations.

Because, sometimes, a picture really is worth a thousand words. Visit our website to learn more.
