Storyworth offers personalized storybooks as a way to preserve memories and experiences.

Storyworth is committed to the belief that everyone has a story worth sharing.

Storyworth helps people remember, write about, and publish their life memories. You can think of it like a conversation: each week, Storyworth sends the writer a question that's chosen by themselves or a loved one. The writer simply responds to that question over email. After a year, those stories are bound into a beautiful keepsake book.

Nick and Krista Baum launched StoryWorth in 2013. Nick had been trying to record his Dad’s stories for years, without much success. One day, he had the idea to email him a single question each week – certainly one email response a week wasn’t too much to ask. Now their family has hundreds of pages of his stories that they’ll be able to enjoy for years to come. Along the way, they’ve turned this personal project into a thriving business that has helped other families record millions of their own stories.

Storyworth earns largely positive reviews for helping people capture life stories through weekly prompts and producing handsome, sturdy hardcovers with clear photos, while critiques flag lapses in emails, rigid editing/layout tools, and occasional customer-service and policy frustrations. Reviews indicate the brand works when users commit to the process—memories flow, books impress—but weaknesses include clunky formatting, limited customization, and issues like expired subscriptions, draft exclusions, and misprints.
