Memoir collection · Life story book
Write your life story, without writing a line.
You talk, we write. A guided conversation takes you through your life one period at a time, and your memories become a memoir your children and grandchildren can hold.
First 5 messages free, no account or credit card. Free first page before you pay.
The short answer
It is the book of your own life, 120 to 400 pages, written with AI assistance from what you tell (or what a relative tells for you), with nothing invented. C$159 to C$279, hardcover plus PDF and EPUB, delivery to Canada included, prices in CAD.
You share memories in a guided conversation, with no account needed to start, and read a free first page before you pay. The digital edition is usually ready within 48 hours of payment and a complete conversation; printing and tracked shipping to Canada are estimated at 16 to 18 business days after your approval.
No account, no commitment
Start with where you grew up
Your Story Director guides you chapter by chapter: childhood, first jobs, love, family, the turning points. Answer in a few words or in long stories; there is no wrong way to remember.
Tell your story; it becomes your book. Your first 5 messages are free — no account, no credit card. You only create your space if you want to keep going, and nothing you shared is lost.
Your Story Director
Hi, and welcome. I'm your Story Director, an AI assistant. We'll gather your memories gently, one period of your life at a time, to prepare your memoir. You can continue at your own pace from your account. Let's begin at the beginning: where were you born, and what do you see when you close your eyes and think back to your very first home?

A memoir writing service that fits your pace
Hiring a ghostwriter for a memoir can cost thousands of dollars and take months. Notre Livre offers a simpler path: a guided brief, AI-assisted writing from your own words, and your full review before anything is printed.
Your book keeps your voice. It is written in the first person, organized by the periods of your life, and faithful to what you shared: nothing is invented about your family.
Prefer to speak rather than type? Memoir Prestige includes a voice conversation during the brief.
Why people write their life story
For grandchildren
Answer the questions they will ask one day: where you came from, how you met, what you learned.
For a milestone
Retirement, a 70th birthday, a move: a natural moment to look back and put it all in one place.
For yourself
Seeing your life as a story is a gift in itself. Many people discover how much they have lived.

How it works
From your memories to a finished book
1
Tell your story, for free
Talk with your Story Director, an AI interviewer that asks the right questions. Your first 5 messages need no account; then create a free account to keep the same conversation.
2
Read your free first page
Once your brief is complete, you get a free first page and a suggested cover. You only pay when you decide to start writing the full book.
3
Review and approve
Your book is written from your memories, then you read it. Ask for as many corrections to the existing text as you need before your final approval.
4
Receive your book
Download the PDF and EPUB. Printed editions are laminated hardcovers, printed by our partner Lulu and delivered to your door in Canada.
What to expect
Honest about AI
The writing is AI-assisted. Check names, dates, relationships and sensitive passages: a smooth sentence can still contain a mistake. In all nine packages, corrections to the existing text are unlimited before your final approval. This does not include a free reprint after approval.
Realistic timing
Estimated timing: the digital edition is usually ready within 48 hours of payment and a complete brief, whatever the package. Printed books are printed on demand by our partner Lulu and sent to Canada by tracked mail; printing and delivery are estimated at 16 to 18 business days after your final approval. Shipping is not arrival: also allow time to gather memories and to review and correct the text. These are estimates, not a guaranteed delivery date.

Frequently asked questions
I am not a writer. Is that a problem?
Not at all. You only answer questions, in writing or, with Prestige, by voice. The book is written from your answers.
How long is the memoir?
Depending on the memories you share, Memoir Essential runs 120 to 200 pages, Memoir Signature 180 to 300 pages and Memoir Prestige 230 to 400 pages. Every package includes a printed hardcover and the PDF and EPUB files.
Can my children do this for me?
Yes. A son or daughter can guide the conversation with you. If they are writing about you rather than with you, the tribute book may be a better fit.
Will it sound like me?
The memoir is written in the first person from your own words and stories. You review everything and can request corrections before approving it.
Is my story private?
Yes. Your project stays in your private space and is used only to write your book. You can delete it at any time.
Your life is worth a book.
Start with a free conversation about where you grew up. You only pay once your first page sounds like you.
