Your memoir, by conversation

Tell your life. We keep track and write it with you.

A patient interviewer that works the way professional memoir ghostwriters do: it asks one good question at a time, remembers every name and story, shows you what is still untold, and drafts each chapter in your own words.

Free while in beta. No account needed to begin. Type, or just talk.

Interviewer — You said the workshop smelled of oil and rubber. Take me inside it on a Saturday morning: who was there, and what were you doing?
My father would already be at the bench with his sleeves rolled up. He let me hold the pump, and if I did it well he paid me one peseta, which I spent at Doña Amparo's on liquorice…
✓ Topic covered: “Saturdays at the bicycle workshop”+ Person: Doña Amparo — owner of the sweet shop○ Waiting to be told: “the day the workshop closed”

How it works

  1. Discovery

    A short conversation about why you are writing, who it is for, what must be in it, and what stays out.

  2. Your book plan

    The index of your book: a structure, a central theme, and chapters with the topics each one should cover. All editable.

  3. Interviews

    Chapter by chapter, one question at a time. Every topic is ticked off as you tell it, and loose threads are saved for later.

  4. Chapters in your voice

    Drafts built only from what you said, keeping your own phrases. You edit, approve, print, or share with family.

What a good ghostwriter does — and so does this

Listens more than it speaks

Short questions, long answers. You can see the balance at the top of the screen: your words versus the interviewer's.

Asks for scenes, not summaries

“Take me back to that kitchen.” Concrete moments, voices, smells and objects are what make a memoir worth reading.

Keeps a meticulous ledger

People, places, dates and the stories you mentioned in passing are recorded, so nothing slips through and nothing is asked twice.

Knows what is still missing

Each chapter shows what is covered and what is pending. Drafting reveals gaps, and the interviewer comes back for them.

Never invents your life

Drafts use only what you told. Uncertain names and dates are flagged for you to check, not guessed.

Respects what is private

Tell it what stays out of the book and it will never raise it. You can pause, skip, or delete anything at any time.

Start with one question

It takes a minute. Your memoir stays private unless you choose to share it.
